I have watched many songbirds in the yard and have to agree, I was quite surprised how comfortable this one was with Bernie. I happened to be attending the rally and saw this bird had been flying up near the jumbotron from near the start of the speech. It landed on the stage near a stone-faced security guard, then hopped over to the floor area, slightly behind and to Bernie's right. Some of the people standing in front of Bernie began distracting Bernie by pointing, and he stopped mid-sentence when he saw the bird. It then flew and landed right in front of Bernie, practically at arm's length. It was amazing, and wonderful, and hugely symbolic (IMHO) given the rapidly declining state of both our planet and our politics. And Bernie's speech: his best yet.
