The way he's holding out his index finger, he's expecting something to land on it, but instead the bird chose to land on the lectern. Then Sanders acts surprised, puts up his hands in faux amazement. He really makes a show of it, which is suspect.

When it landed on his podium it landed at the clear water bottle, pecking at it. After pecking at the bottle and realizing it could not get to the water, it flew away. Look at the video:




That is one desperate bird. And the finch was too.

He has been suing to stop a wind farm because he thinks windmills are ugly and will mar the view of his Aberdeen golf course.

Larry Wilmore made a funny about it, wondering it that is what happened to Glenn Frey!
