TIL that little flappy bird thing that seems to be everywhere is called Pam
I'm not clicking because like, it's the Harold scum, I'm not a boomer. But I've been wondering what the go is behind it
No idea, I haven’t seen one (at least that I took notice of) BUT, does that man have a dog or a goat with him? I mean dog makes sense, but it really looks like a goat.
Apparently the bird also has an instagram account. Yes its a goat. Don't even ask

I see it a lot around the city and inner west, usually along rail corridors. But apparently it's on freeway signs and such too
There's like 3 dozen along the fencing in front of the west melb alstom depot on the way into southern cross, from about here to southern cross
Cool. I love Pam. The little birds make me happy as I go into work on the train and I was looking at the long chain near southern cross on the weekend
I don't really mind the ones that are painted on blank surfaces like on the backside of the freeway signs and near socro, but I do mind the ones painted directly on the trains. There's a few posts on his insta where he's tagged up an entire train with massive birds covering the windows, which forces trains to be pulled out of service and cleaned. He's even done a few directly onto the drivers cab windscreens, which forces the train to be taken out of service wherever it's noticed
Yeah agreed 💯
