Do you know what kind of bird Big Bird is...??? *Please read it ALL... hahaha Big Birds precise species is unknown, and over the years, there have been varying explanations for his unusual size and appearance: During a 1976 appearance on Hollywood Squares, host Peter Marshall asked, What kind of a bird are you, by the way? Big Birds responds: Im a lark. [2] When Big Bird is missing in the 1978 special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch reassures Maria, jokingly reminding her that Big Bird is part homing pigeon. In a 1981 episode of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, King Friday XIII asked Big Bird if hes related to the cassowary. Big Bird replied actually, Im a golden condor. [3] In the 1987 special A Muppet Family Christmas, Ma Bear refers to Big Bird as the giant canary; The Swedish Chef, seeing him as an upgrade from the Christmas Turkey, calls him gobbla gobbla humungo. The 1998 book Sesame Street Unpaved says that Big Birds scientific name is Bigus canarius. [4] In the 2004 direct-to-video special A Celebration of Me, Grover, Big Bird says, I wish I could fly like Super Grover. But my Grandpa was an emu bird. They cant fly. But they can run! Every fall, Grandpa ran south for the winter. Also Big Bird always says he cant fly, but because hes only 6 could be a reason why he cant fly. Oscar the Grouch sometimes refers to Big Bird as a turkey -- an insult rather than a reflection of Big Birds species. However, this does help Big Bird hitch a ride on a turkey truck in the 1985 film Follow That Bird; he talks his way onto the truck by claiming that my friend Oscar always says that Im a big turkey! In a 2009 interview with TV Guide, Big Bird said that Oscar is a little grouchy. He calls me a turkey. Im not a turkey; Im a lark. [5] In the Sesame Street Live production Everyone Makes Music, after Big Bird sings Rockin Robin, Baby Bear remarks that Big Bird is one rockin robin, and Big Bird remarks, Actually Im a canary. In a 2009 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live when host Jimmy Kimmel asks him if he has ever googled Big Bird replies: Uh, no but I have an Uncle turkey who gobbles. ... AND - there we have it... NOW, we know EXACTLY what kind of bird Big Bird is! SMH... hahaha
