Mind Of Gera

Everyone loves Twitter’s little blue bird, unless of course they’re ornithophobic, which would pretty much make the Twittersphere hell on earth. But finding the right bird icon for your site can be a challenge, especially if your budget is bird seed.We’ve had lots of fun pulling together a gallery of 10 fab, freebie Twitter bird-themed icons, so click through to view, and be sure to check the terms of use for each set before you download. Although all are available for free, some are only for non-commercial use. 1. Matt Hamm's Blue Bird Simple, yet somehow very charming indeed. We're big fans of this little bird from UK creative Matt Hamm. 2. Spoon Graphics' Hand-Drawn Twitter Birds These quirky birds offer some child-like charm and would make a fun addition to kid-themed sites. 3. Marek Sotak's Fluffy Twitter Icon Marek brings the texture with this blue bird illustration that will add some feathery fun to your web page. 4. Graphic Leftovers' Twitter Eggs Taking the bird theme into egg territory, these shiny ovoids are a fresh slant on Twitter iconography. 5. Zwitscha Twitter Icon We really like this set as it's so different from many of the "overly sweet" birdies out there, offering a true alternative for anyone who doesn't do cute. 6. Graphic Leftovers' Twordle Birds The second entrant from Graphic Leftovers (these guys are good!), we think these word-based avians would be fabulous icons for verbose bloggers. 7. HaloMomo's Helvettwitca Anything made from Helvetica can't be bad, right? These clever design brings some typeface simplicity to the Twitter bird design arena. 8. Dirceu Veiga's Square Icons The unusual, square shape of these icons make them particularly eye-catching. 9. Iconhive's Black Twitter Icons Go to the dark side with this set of black Twitter icons, perfect for, er, Goths? 10. Marek Sotak's Human Twitter Icon We've saved our fave for last with this quirky take on the Twitter icon -- a person wearing a blue bird costume. "Is this what we are nowadays?" asks Marek.
