Don’t worry everyone, I managed to make it out from under them unsoiled. But I was really tempting fate.
Speaking of birds, check out this funny story about Portlandia/Put a bird on it (via Kathryn Yu):
Humor blogger and “Portlandia” fan Jenny Lawson created a tote bag sporting a silhouette of the extinct Dodo bird and “Put a bird on it!” in a cheerful font and posted it for sale in her Zazzle store. When Zazzle informed her that a complaint had been issued regarding the show’s intellectual property, she wrote, “I thought it was funny that a show based entirely on satirizing an entire city would have a problem with my bag satirizing their show.”
She removed the first Dodo bag but created a new one, which stated flatly, “Do not put a bird on it (unless you first get legal permission from the company representing ‘Portlandia’).” That bag was also removed. Beyond amused, Lawson continued to post new parodies, including one with cattle called “Put a herd on it.” Finally, Armisen himself stepped in to negotiate a truce.
Jenny has a ton of amusing anecdotes like this.

It’s that time of year again. Birds covering every available wire and branch. Bird shit covering every car and sidewalk.
(Did you know birds don’t really produce poo-poo or pee-pee like most normal animals? They produce only uric acid - that’s the white stuff!)
