This seems to be because Betty the slave bird has to tweet a four letter word to be eligible for the Guinness Book of World Records.
This is absolutely vintage Betty – loads of letters, numbers, spaces and symbolsReally exploring those punctuation keys hereKeeping it succinct, and getting straight to the pointAnd then her first word. Bum. At least not the kind of tweeting that involves 140 characters and the interweb. So far, it’s been fairly incomprehensible, but Betty the chicken wrote “bum8” the other day which got everyone really excited. This tweet may have been a cry of refusal to her human overlords.

It’s a promotion from Perth chicken shop Chicken Treat, who are actually hoping to teach Betty to tweet a real word.

None of the blame can be put on Chicken Treat, surely – a recent video uploaded by the chain shows the rigorous training they put Betty through to prepare herself to tweet.
