Bird charity locked out of Twitter after woodcock tweets

Jul 11,2022 4:30 am

A bird conservation charity said it had been Locked Out of its Twitter account for Eight Days after posting several tweets about Woodcock .

The Norfolk-based British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) said it lost access to its account during the Big Garden Birdwatch.

" It's all a bit of a mystery, " said the BTO's Tom Stewart .

Twitter has yet to respond to a BBC request for comment, but Elon Musk tweeted to say The Story was " ironic".

The BTO posted on its to inform birdwatchers that its Twitter account had been frozen on 20 January, at a time when BBC Winterwatch was covering the RSPB's annual citizen count of birds.

" We tried to contact Twitter to try to get our account back up and running quickly, but it's all automated and you just get a message back saying 'Thank You for sending The Information - we will review it', " said Mr Stewart.

The Charity , which has its office in Thetford, said it was asked by Twitter to verify its account, but " it was all downhill from there really, as the age we put in didn't tally with Twitter's (very under-publicised) age verification policy" He Said .

" We thought it might have happened because of our repeated use of The Word 'Woodcock ' for, which might have been misinterpreted by Twitter's algorithms, " he added.

Twitter's @TwitterComms account has yet to respond to The Bbc 's request for an explanation, but the Social Media website's owner Elon Musk has posted a tweet.

He wrote: " Most ironic thing I've read in a while. How much wood could a Woodcock . . "

Mr Stewart added: " It was annoying that it happened in that week of all weeks, when there tends to be a swell of activity among our 115,000 followers for Winterwatch and the weekend's, which we support and highlights that people can monitor birds all year round in Our Own . "

BBC Winterwatch presenter Chris Packham tweeted to ask Mr Musk to sort things out after his co-presenter Michaela Strachan had also lost her account.

He called the BTO " well respected scientists and educators working to support critical conservation projects".

The @_BTO account was restored on Saturday evening.

Mr Stewart said: " Obviously we're relieved to be able to tweet again.

" But we're conscious of the irony of a bird charity being Locked Out of Twitter. "
