If you have seen the show Portlandia on IFC, you may be familiar with the skit that proclaims “put a bird on it”! If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here: Put A Bird On It!

Anyhow, a few of us around the office (ok, maybe just me) have been having lots of fun with this idea. I’ve been making birds to pin to the wall of our housewares and accessories buyer’s cubicle for months now. I’m pretty sure she thinks it’s funny. I know I do.

My take on "put a bird on it!"

You can imagine my delight when I received this photo from one of my colleagues on the production floor. This litte guy put himself on “it” of his own free will. Maybe there is something to this bird thing after all. What do you think? Would you buy more lights or shades, if there were birds on them?
