Especially since he can't fly, and therefore doesn't need them to see where he's going in the air.

As a young child I was apparently terrified of Big Bird.

It all makes sense now.

I think most countries with their own sesame street have slightly different characters. We don't have big bird, we have the superior Pino.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

big bird is the least used character in international versions. possibly because the height makes it hard to operate but that's speculation on my part.

Garibaldo from Brazil is the most… questionable one for those that haven’t seen it. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Garibaldo

Hahaha also blue but waaaay more scary!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

A little meth-ed up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

So blue bigbird

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That’s what we thought until it turned out that Elmo was the real predator all along.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

In retrospect, we should have noticed sooner. He was constantly asking kids to tickle him, after all.

And no one knows what happened to Mr Snuffleupagus (sp?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

He's clearly in some sort of quantum flux. They keep waffling if he is real or just Big Bird's imaginary friend.

Do any of the muppets not have forward facing eyes? Kermit I think?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Not sure about the eyes but miss piggy is definitely a predator

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Most birds are predators.

That word mean different thing in the wild than in a room full of kids.

This post wasn't alarming until I read your comment. Now I have concerns about Sesame Street

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Big Bird is the legendary Thunderbird.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Humans have forward facing eyes and we were prey as well as predators.

Now I'm thinking about what would be big enough to hunt big bird

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Mr. Snuffleupagus.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Bigger bird

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Humans have the need to kill everything bigger than us that doesn't show the proper amount of respect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean ability

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Speak for yourself

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

They're flocking this way.

"That's not a year, that's his kill count."
