MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is the Twitter logo a bird?

Every time I open Twitter I wonder why the logo is that little bird. It even has a name too!

The bird’s name in the logo is “Larry”. Which is named after the famous basketball player… Larry Bird who played for the Boston Celtics.  The reason behind it is that co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone, grew up in Massachusetts and was a huge Boston Celtics fan. As someone who’s from Massachusetts and also a Celtics fan I can appreciate this story. This makes me like Twitter even more now.
