The Bird-Man of Aberdeen is a community-created cosmetic item item for the Demoman. It is a green and yellow macaw that stands on the Demoman's left shoulder and wobbles with the player's movements.
This item has three styles, named "Essential", "Distinguished" and "Imbued". The "Distinguished" style colors the bird white, resembling a cockatoo, while the "Imbued" style, changes the belly feathers to a dull green. When painted, "Distinguished" paints 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 players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.
The Bird-Man of Aberdeen was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
