A small bird was apparently feeling the #Bern when it landed on Bernie Sanders’ podium during a rally in Portland on Friday.
To the delight of thousands<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in the crowd, the bird first landed on the stage and then perched on the podium.
“I think there may be some symbolism here,” Sanders said. “That bird is really a dove asking us for world peace. No more wars.”
After the incident, the hashtag #BirdieSanders began trending on Twitter as people shared memes and photos of the incident.
According to the Audubon Society,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the podium crasher<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is a female House Finch. That girl has guts!
Sanders was in Portland<span style="color: Red;">*</span>to campaign before Saturday's Washington caucus<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and the Oregon primary May 17. A crowd of more than 11,000 attended the rally to hear him speak.
