the tail where? The only birds that could possible come off on my car's exterior are the front license plate cover (which I believe is just a molded piece), the rear center section (which is painted on), and well that's it. Please be a little more descriptive.

The fin is two peices that are glued together. Go by a paint supply store, or big hardware store and buy some epoxy or caulk that is made for bonding fiberglass together, cant remember a brand off of ther top of my head. You will have to c-clamp the two parts together while it dryes to make it bond in the postion you want it.
