Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a popular bird across martial arts styles;
Col. Hogan on TV, or Frasier and Niles;
I reach high at Home Depot when steered through the aisles;
And a lady in Psycho portrayed by Ms. Miles.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Ro. See comments for answer.

    Love the visual from the first line. Nice technique, so to speak.

    CRANE is correct. Way to go, Ro!

    Line 1: There is a Crane Position in martial arts.

    Line 2: Bob Crane played Col. Hogan on Hogans Heroes; Frasier Crane and Niles Crane are characters from Frasier.

    Line 3: The crane is the machine that gets items from the high shelves.

    Line 4: Vera Miles played Lila Crane in Psycho.

    I was surprised you didn’t work Ichabod in there as well….

    :)

    Yeah, Ichabod didn’t make the final cut. But see today’s Six Degrees.
