The eight greatest non-human Twitter users

6: Rudy the Parrot

URL: @RudyTheParrot
Type: Parrot
Typical tweet: "I love rolling around in bags of granola! Granola... rolling around... is there a downside? Plus, I smell like granola afterward! Win-win."

You could be forgiven for assuming a parrot on Twitter would spend all of its time simply re-tweeting messages. However, Rudy is quite the wit, providing a remarkably insightful commentary on caged life, such as: "Day 2: I remain locked in a metal jail. Neither passionate screaming nor incessant flapping reveal any structural weaknesses. Ideas welcome." Gripping stuff.

5: Nat History Whale

URL: @nathistorywhale
Type: Deceased marine mammal
Typical tweet: "A kid tried to feed me a Cheeto once, but his mom told him: 'Fake whales don't eat.' Fake? I'm more real than her handbag!"

NatHistory Whale is a very vocal model of a blue whale suspended from the ceiling of New York City's American Museum of Natural History. His comical musings on life as an enormous mammal suspended in a vegetative state inside a large museum are not to be missed.
