The Bird-Man of Aberdeen is a community-created miscellaneous item item for the Demoman. It is a large green Template:W that sits on the Demoman's shoulder and wobbles around under movement.
The Bird-Man of Aberdeen has three unique styles. The second style, "Distinguished", colors the bird white, resembling a Template:W, while "Imbued", the third style, changes the belly feathers to a dull green. When painted, "Distinguished" bleeds the entire bird the same color, aside from the tail- and head-feathers, and "Imbued" colors the belly feathers duller than that of the rest of the bird's feathers.
When a player equipped with the Bird-Man of Aberdeen, in Pyroland, kills an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows the bird getting the assist, with its custom name if it has one, similar to Teddy Roosebelt and Balloonicorn.
The Bird-Man of Aberdeen was contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Some spare eyes v_2.3".

Update history
June 27, 2012 Patch (Pyromania Update)
- The Bird-Man of Aberdeen was added to the game.
- [Undocumented] The Bird-Man of Aberdeen was added to the drop system.
- Added Pyromania cosmetic items to the Mann Co. Store
Bugs
- This item's level does not show up in the backpack or loadout. This is because the item type is assigned to a text string that does not exist.
Trivia
- The item's name is a reference to Robert Stroud, a federal prisoner whose work with birds during imprisonment earned him the nickname "Birdman of Alcatraz", despite not being allowed to keep pets during his incarceration at Alcatraz itself.
- The name also refers to the fact Aberdeen has the largest urban population of herring gulls in the world.
