Portland Bird Flip To The Rest Of You

 

 

The Portland bird is one thing, the Portland bird flip a whole ‘nother thing.

 

If it’s not this, it’s that for Portland. Close to the mountains, close to the beach, and if the pace of new building is any indicator, close to the new neighbors.

 

Like any city over a certain population with more than dual one-way roads through the center, Portland has problems.

 

The Portland bird flip is a solution to problems. Nature, or better yet, NATURE, is the bird Portland flips best.

 

 

No one in the city is far from a goose stepping Egret. Seeing one of these is a game changer. Something happens in the human brain watching them operate.

 

A Portland bird is a patient bird. As you can see it gets along well with others. Instead of using their orange beak to peck everything in sight, like the ducks, it stalks its own prey.

 

Okay, this isn’t a blue heron, but it has the same moves.

You think it has a strong neck when it goes tripod after it’s food? I’m thinking pile drive into the muck. And it doesn’t care.

 

The Portland bird works best when people flocking to the city take the same attitude. Moving here is life changing, life enhancing. It’s what freedom feels like.

 

But don’t be afraid to get dirty. You’ll find what you came looking for, but it comes with extras.

 

City people like to explain how they’ve got their place wired tight. They know the bridges, the traffic, the best food carts, and where to take out of town visitors like a boss.

 

More than one city dweller avoids talking about getting stuck in the city because they stayed too long, got married, and how they couldn’t leave if they wanted to.

 

If you’re going to quit a city, do it while you’re young so you can start over some place else with some wind in your sails. Cruise Portland and you’ll see some wear and tear on people from elsewhere, not there.

 

Don’t let that be you. Dive in and see what you come up with.

 

 

A Portland bird doesn’t bring dirt from the last place it landed.

 

A new gig means a clean beak.

 

If that’s asking too much, here’s an idea:
