T-Shirt Tuesday: Pop Art Bird
This week's highlighted bird-themed shirt is a spoof of Robert Indiana's famous LOVE design: Pop Art Bird.
Indiana made the design in 1964 for the Museum of Modern Art for their Christmas cards. In 1973 the image was used for U.S. postage stamps. Unfortunately for Indiana, he never copyrighted the work and it has been copied and spoofed countless times. Here's our bird-related take on the iconic design.
Pop Art Bird is shown here on a women's hoodie.

T-Shirt Tuesday: 3 for Pishers
Do you use pishing when out birding to get birds to come in closer? The idea is that curious birds hear you saying "pssh pssh pssh" or some other strange noise (kissing one's hand is another method of pishing) and come in closer to see what's going on.
Today's highlighted shirts are all based on the practice of pishing. Since a lot of non-birders will have no idea what it means to pish, these could prove to be great conversation starters!
