I think that we are very fortunate to have Bernie running to represent real people.

Unlike the eagle that attacked Trump, this little birdie just wanted to say hello and hang out for a bit with Bernie. Oh my, that will be a terrific side-by-side meme.

Bernie is the only Democratic candidate who consistently reminds anyone who will listen that climate change is real and we are indeed in danger if we do not take swift measures to reduce our carbon footprint. Maybe that little birdie just wanted to thank Bernie for caring and fighting for the planet.

Living creatures (other than humans) really do have keen sense.

They can sense good and bad intention.

This was so cool.

And Bernie's reaction was so pure, so happy, so sincere.

That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -



Great moment and great video.

Thanks for sharing this!

Funny to have a silly song attached to something so beautiful and meaningful. Life is full of paradoxes. Fight for, and care about the serious things in life but might as well have some fun doing it.

''This little bird is an omen." Bird jumps on lectern. "I think there may be some symbolism here. I know it doesn't look like, but that bird is really a dove asking us for world peace. No more war!"

We are witness to one of the great moments in US political history.
