Title

  • Birds For Human Safety Consortium.

Summary

  • "Four birds brought together by fate to protect people by delivering important safety messages. Bird Ben Franklin - the actual Ben Franklin turned into a bird after an experiment gone wrong and gifted a hat by Abraham Lincoln. Stacy! - Excited to be here. Looking sharp. Thinking sharp. Ready to lead. Reggye the Wise - named for a high performing CPSC Office of Communications intern. Queen. Ruler of all they see. Handsome Ron. European immigrant. Proud naturalized American citizen. Magical hat changes color and form depending on the season. Very handsome. This make up of the Birds For Human Safety Consortium was the result of CPSC recieving 200 Likes on Twitter of a picture of the bird who would become Handsome Ron. CPSC Social Media Specialist Joseph Galbo promised CPSC's followers that if the picture received 200 likes, CPSC would reunite the Birds For Human Safety Consortium and they would all wear cute hats. The post received 200 likes. The rest is history.". Description from creator, Joseph Galbo
