I am getting the exact same issue, have been googling, and found eg an older upstream issue (https://github.com/baedert/corebird/issues/599) where I added the current issue.
However, a German-language Debian forum had a link to this: https://www.patreon.com/posts/corebirds-future-18921328 where Timm points at API changes at Twitter -- and that this may mean the possible end of corebird :-/ Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | [email protected]
