Ghetto Bird Hotline

Nickname for the L.A.P.D. Air Support Division phone number.

The Web site LAist recently shared with its readers the number to call to discover why an L.A.P.D. helicopter is circling overhead, prompting one commenter to exclaim:

This is awesome you have no idea how many times my girlfriend asks me “why do you think that helicopter is there?” and now we could finally answer that question. I’m sitting around waiting for one to start circling to call the Ghetto Bird Hotline!
