When we first covered the bird loose in the Harvard Law School library, we predicted a social media career wasn’t far behind. It turns out, the bird was already working on its 15 minutes of internet fame with a Twitter account detailing the trials and tribulations of living in the Harvard library.

The account, @langdellbird, has 168 followers but is only following one account. That would be the account for Remy the Cat, the neighborhood feline who wanders Harvard and has his own box at the circulation desk. Obviously that’s one account he needs to keep an eye on.

The account’s bio lays out the bird’s whole raison d’etre: “Level 3 Nuisance Bird in Langdell Library. Currently trapped but only Came in 2 cause chaos and get STUDENTS to FEED ME FOOD.” Generally speaking, the feed tracks the many ups and downs of being a modern, working-class bird in a stuffy Ivy League setting:

But the tenor of the tweets turns when the bird realizes “the man” is out to get him:

"Harbor Law School want bird to leave out of here" Contra., bird staying right where it is — langdell bird (@langdellbird) October 30, 2019

And don’t get him started on this whole effort to turn the screws on his food supply.

Will they ever catch this bird? Sounds like they’ve got some tricks up their sleeves:
