I learned that from watching the Mystery Science Theater version of Ed Wood's "The Violent Years" last night, so it must be true. Hey, awesome! Do I win a T-shirt or just bragging rights?

These are regularly spaced along the roofline and during winter the figure is lifted to act as a barrier to prevent the snow from sliding off of the roof. They are also commonly seen in the shape of eagles as well as other animals and occasionally in abstract shapes. It is a "snow bird" used to trap snow on a roof to act as insulation.
