I think I've been through this movie before, but the bird in the coat of arms is a pelican, and the notion that the pelican feeds its young its own blood, depicted therein, is why its part of Christian symbology. So if the bird in the hood ornament is the same as in the coat of arms, it's a pelican. But the sculpture of it definitely looks like a cormorant. The swans with the plastic wings that truck drivers went for,are swans, but not Packard ones. And that is the name of that tune.
