With a break from the political wars, a spring chance of inspiration flies by a Bernie Sanders rally in Portland, Oregon. Literally. On Friday during a campaign rally, a small bird landed on Sanders’ podium in the middle of his speech. Both Sanders and the crowd were aware of the bird’s presence in the stadium beforehand, and when it perched on the podium, a look of amazement came across the Senator’s face and the crowd roared with joy. The little birdie took flight with Sanders’ announcing that was “a dove” and it must symbolize world peace and an end to wars. This event brought on a wave of bird memes on Twitter as the young Sanders supporters posted variations of the senator posing as Disney princesses, the “bird whisperer,” and even portraying an X-men like ability to be an avian that communicates with animals among others. Twitter has officially fully endorsed Sanders and set the hashtag that night as #BirdieSanders. Supporters of Sanders say the bird foreshadowed the Senator's wins in the Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii primaries that following weekend. Many believe that the other candidates should give up, and that mother nature herself has spoken for the winner of the race. With supporters in Portland seeming to be deeply moved by the little bird's message, the Sanders campaign took it under their wing to endorse a fan made rendition of the campaign logo.
