Tough call, hood birds are a PITA to get on correctly, I would change it.

And make sure you have someone to help you float the decal into place.
Just remember, once you start replacing one thing, you'll look at the rest of the car and begin thinking about dent removal, then repainting, then replacing plastics.... it doesn't end with the decal.
