"Put a bird on it"

I was talking to the owner of a refreshment stand on San Juan Island recently. He asked where I was from.
"Portland," I answered.
Nice guy. We chatted for a bit. Then he saw my crow pendant. He pointed and chuckled.
"Put a bird on it," he said, quoting that godawful show Portlandia.
Yes, I hate that show. And yes, I hate when people visit and squeal just like Portlandia!! and take a picture of whatever classic Portland thing caught their eye.
But...
I am a hypocrite.
But...
I didn't take these in Portland. I took them at the Anacortes Ferry Port.
Except for the crow. I took that picture on the island.

It seems that birds will put themselves on anything human-made without any help from a tv show or the city of Portland.


They will even put their baby birds on whatever it might be.

They'll put their poop on it, too.

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge, held daily in the Black and White Community. Try it out. You don't have to put a bird on it to enter.
