Jack Gibson-Burrell was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly scaling and spray-painting Melbourne's Bolte Bridge with a giant cartoon bird, sparking an hours-long police stand-off and traffic chaos.
Almost nine hours after the stand-off began, Gibson-Burrell surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody just before midday.
The 22-year-old from East Geelong appeared in an after-hours court session on Tuesday evening, dressed in a white forensic jumpsuit and yawning through a magistrate's remarks.
His lawyer Micky Milardovic did not apply for bail, with the court told Gibson-Burrell was already subject to bail conditions at the time of the latest alleged offences.
Asked if there were any considerations for his client's remand, Mr Milardovic replied "not really".
"I think he might be a little bit hungry, that's about all, Your Honour," Mr Milardovic said.
On Tuesday, police charged Gibson-Burrell with 13 offences including burglary, criminal damage, conduct endangering life and conduct endangering serious injury.
He was also charged with graffiti-related offences, contravening conditions of bail and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail.
In May, Gibson-Burrell faced court charged with hundreds of similar offences including vandalism of public structures.
During that earlier hearing, he was banned under his bail conditions from going out at night and possessing graffiti or abseiling equipment.
The conditions included payment of a $30,000 surety to the court, which may be forfeited if he breaches them.
The latest alleged stunt had caused "considerable cost to the public", police said.
Police had been negotiating with Gibson-Burrell since they were called to the bridge at 2am over reports someone had scaled one of the 140-metre-high pillars.
Just after 11am, Gibson-Burrell, dressed head to toe in black, climbed down the pillar and calmly surrendered to police on the embankment at the bottom of the bridge.
Hours earlier, he had climbed up the pillar before abseiling down and painting a Pam the Bird tag, which has been graffitied across Melbourne for years, often on hard-to-reach places and heritage-listed buildings.
Exactly how he got to the top of the bridge is unknown, but some reports have suggested an entry door at the lower level was open and a black bag was covering a nearby CCTV camera.
A recently created Instagram page, @pambirdofficial, shared video stories appearing to be from Gibson-Burrell at the top of the pillar, with the hashtag #notcomingdown.
In one video, a caption says: "Lower the taxes and drone me some f***en food! Let's go boys and girls!"
Gibson-Burrell did not specify which taxes he meant but also demanded a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk.
At one point during the stand-off, Gibson-Burrell abseiled down the pillar and taunted police and media below with a wave before returning to the top.
Gibson-Burrell has previously been charged with 209 offences over the Pam the Bird graffiti, including reckless conduct endangering life or serious injury, criminal damage, theft and aggravated burglary.
He is accused of causing about $700,000 in damages, including to heritage-listed Victorian landmarks where he allegedly sprayed the tag.
This includes allegations he trespassed into Melbourne's Flinders Street Station in July 2024 and abseiled up its famous clock tower to paint the bird on it.
Gibson-Burrell will next appear in court on September 29 for a committal mention.
