One of the things that came along with the mainstream status of Twitter is the coolness of the bird as illustration element in web design. Bird is the new black. Everybody understood that any decent website should have at least one tiny little bird, whether is used as a follow me on Twitter button or just as a visual mantra. We made a selection of the best works we came across lately and we invite you to click on them to see the websites and to add some other examples in the comments. Thanks!

- if you want your own bird, follow this great tutorial from NetTuts
- 472 Twitter goodies on Etsy
- 236 bird products on Supermarket HQ
- the best bird font ever is also free on Dafont
- 100 free Twitter icons for your blog on Hong Kiat
- you might need a few Twitter cupcakes
- also for your Twitter inspiration we recommend you the bigges hit ever – Surfin’ Bird by The Trashmen (1963)
