Default Garden Suggestion

I need suggestions. I have a private back yard, surrounded by Lygustrum trees. I want a small sculpture in the yard and I think I want that to be a bird native to The Villages. Any suggestions on the type of bird? Heron? Flamingo? Duck of some sort? What do you think? Thanks!

Have you thought about a sandhill crane? We put two standing white birds (egrets? Herons?) with fish in their mouths next to a tree trunk, and then put a photocell light on them. It looks very pretty at night. We bought the birds at the Red Door on 301 in Wildwood. They had three different heights.
