It may be the most awesome first tweet in the history of Twitter.
Big Bird, the tall yellow fowl of Sesame Street fame, has had a Twitter account since October 2012, but he had never tweeted.
That all changed Friday when he sent this tweet:
Tweet?
By about 5:30 p.m. Friday, the "Tweet'' had been retweeted more than 4,000 times and favorited more than 2,700 times.
He followed that initial tweet with one saying, "Oh! Now I get it. Big Bird here, live on Twitter!''
