Turkey or Trendy? #1: Put a Bird on It

The first item on our "Turkey or Trendy?" list is the design trend that got it all started: Put a Bird on It!

You can find birds in fashion:

You can find them on home decor:

Owl Lamp, $39.99 at Target.com.

So, what do you think, is it time for the fashion and interior design trend of "Putting a Bird on It" to fly the nest?

Bird Merch: Put a Bird on It shirt

There are LOTS of Put a Bird on It shirts out there, but our favorite is from Etsy seller AwwNeat.

AwwNeat cleverly puts a bird of a different kind on a unisex T-shirt and sells it for $12.

And it should come as no surprise that AwwNeat is from, where else-- Portland.
