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 :-/

According to a discussion on corebird's github, the following patch helps
(although does not completely prevent the issue):

diff --git a/src/CbUserStream.c b/src/CbUserStream.c
