The bird design for '73 was a very bold option for consumers to add. More than a few people did not step up to the plate because of that. I think they became more "socially acceptable" as the years wore on until the T/A and screaming chicken became synonymous. It wouldn't surprise me at all if more than a few of the current survivors have had them added through the years. If I weren't such a stickler my SD would have got one too during my resto. I will say going birdless does grow on you, but I secretly do carry a fair share of bird envy.
