Hi there,

can you please say me where you found this image https://www.missiontolearn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/twitter-bird.png

Is it yours? If yes, I would like to know can I use this for my website? I searched already for this image but nothing found else. It would be nice when you can say me who is the creator of this image. Please answer on my email.

Best regards
