It’s hard to find anything more heartwarming than this. During Bernie Sanders’ rally in Portland on Friday, the crowd started laughing about a little bird’s antics. But then when Sanders started talking about the bird, it landed on his podium, seemingly “endorsing” his presidential candidacy. The crowd went absolutely wild.

The bird stuck around for awhile. Sanders later joked that the bird was a really a “dove” asking that they end all war. The crowd cheered and the Internet has been going wild ever since. Fans even created a #BirdieSanders hashtag to commemorate the rare heartwarming moment in the middle of what has been a pretty crazy presidential race.
