Put a Bird On It! is one of Portlandia's most iconic sketches that satirizes Portland's hipster-craft culture and the trend of adding bird designs to ordinary items to make them seem artistic. The sketch features enthusiastic artisan gurus Bryce Shivers (Fred Armisen) and Lisa Eversman (Carrie Brownstein) visiting a Portland boutique where they transform everyday items like teapots, totes, and bags into art simply by affixing bird images to them. The sketch takes a chaotic turn when a real pigeon flies into the store, causing the duo to become grossed out despite their obsession with bird imagery.
