Our fascination with guys named Birdman

A birdman was recently in the news for some crime, and I started thinking to myself, “Zoiks! How many birdmen are there???” Well, there’s this one.

And there’s another one.

Then there’s the box office Birdman.

And moving to the small screen, there’s this Birdman…pronounced Bid-men.

Why there’s a trend of Birdmen in sports, music, movies, and television I can’t begin to guess. But it can’t be coincidence.
