When he rides real fast, does the dead bird fly off his head?...Inquiring minds want to know...

I think it's a hidden "green agenda" message from Hollywierd.

When he rides real fast, the dead bird's wings spread out, generating a lift (like an airplane wing). Then Tonto clamps his legs tight against his horse. This slightly lifts both Tonto and the horse, causing less weight, and thus, less down-force on the terrain, resulting in less damage to the environment.

It also gives Tonto more "miles to the Gallup".

I totally see that logic..lol. No carbon “footprint” to track. BRILLIANT!
