I've consulted the ancient and appropriate tomes and it seems that the three headed beast was only needed until the turn of the last millennium. At present the actual number or even presence of a head is entirely optional.
One text (and alas there is only Feingeld's "Modern Day Signs, Omens and Portents in the 21st Century" to fall back on) points out that driverless automobiles and tractors can readily be used in place of the more traditional headless flying fowl. It's good to know that someone is keeping the old arts alive.
