According to this Twitter Message yesterday it was noticed that many of the Twitter accounts had their avatars changed or removed. Most of the twitter accounts had their avatar changed to the Twitter’s Bird icon which was quiet weird .

BTW , their last status update at 5:30pm explains everything , but not the problem . No one is sure about the problem except twitter . Hopefully everything will be fixed soon . As i said this happens to only most of the twitter accounts not all. I did not face this problem. My avatar did not change which is a good news for me .

We’re working on a bug whereby the default avatar is showing up for users who have previously uploaded their own image. We hope to resolve this soon.

Update (5:30p): We’ve identified the root cause of this problem and expect the issue to be resolved within the next several hours.
