PORTLAND, Ore. » A little bird stole the show at Bernie Sanders’ rally in Portland, and gave new meaning to a phrase made popular by the TV show “Portlandia” — “put a bird on it.”
The Democratic candidate smiled and the audience of more than 10,000 went wild when a tiny bird joined Sanders at the podium today.
Without losing a beat, the Vermont senator said even though it didn’t look like a dove, it must have been one that came to ask for world peace.
The video of Sanders and his feathered friend went viral on social media, with the hashtag #BirdieSanders.
The phrase “put a bird on it” is a line that was used in the TV show “Portlandia” as a reflection of the city’s quirky ways.

First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State. Three strikes and you are out.
We are overrun with doves in Honolulu. They coo all the time and defecate all over the place. I want to exterminate them, but it is illegal. Come here and adopt some.
