It's about time birds take Twitter back. That's exactly what Ir, an independent Latvian magazine, did by giving small titmice birds the ability to tweet to their beaks' content.
The magazine started the Hungry Birds Twitter account to help increase their social media presence. To get the birds tweeting, they attached unsalted larve to a cheap keyboard. The keyboard sends updates to the @ir_zilite Twitter account each time a bird feeds from the keys. (They've since started an English version for those birds that don't understand Latvian -- @hungry_birds.) The result is not only amusing, but effective.
In six weeks, the birds wrote more than 2,500 tweets. The brand increased to more than 9,000 followers and became the most influential Twitter account in Latvia.
