My tab display the twitter bird icon despite twitter not being open

For some reason my safari tabs appear with the bird icon. I could open a fresh tab and search anything and the twitter birth appears. What is happening? It's really annoying and inconvenient.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.4

John Galt’s suggestion worked for me! I’ve had the same issue for a couple of years (years... inorite?) and got used to it. But when Twitter became X, I became more obsessed with wondering whyyyyy is there a twitter bird on every google search tab, including google maps? I typically run searches from the address bar, fwiw, but I could go straight to maps and always see that blue bird. I just cleared the last hour from my history, and now all tabs are using the appropriate google favicon. I still don’t understand it, but I’m glad for the easy solution. Attached is a screenshot of what I used to see. Thank you, John Galt!
