Now the plot thickens and not with chickens. The old bird (mentioned above) has deceased or has been euthanized. Well, actually he has been replaced. So, the question above was a trick question. Sorry. The next paragraph and link explains everything.
From the official Twitter Blog:
“From now on, this bird will be the universally recognizable symbol of Twitter. (Twitter is the bird, the bird is Twitter.) There’s no longer a need for text, bubbled typefaces, or a lowercase ‘t’ to represent Twitter.”
“Our new bird grows out of love for ornithology, design within creative constraints, and simple geometry. This bird is crafted purely from three sets of overlapping circles — similar to how your networks, interests and ideas connect and intersect with peers and friends. Whether soaring high above the earth to take in a broad view, or flocking with other birds to achieve a common purpose, a bird in flight is the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility.”
