Big Bird

Since Sesame Street began, the world's most famous 8 foot 2 inch big yellow bird, Big Bird, has entertained millions of pre-school children and their parents with his wide-eyed wondering at the world.

Big Bird around the world

While many Sesame Street adaptations use characters similar to Big Bird (such as the green parrot Abelardo on Plaza Sesamo), some even use the exact same character. On Zhima Jie in China, Da Niao lives in a nest at the park. Sesame Workshop refers to him as a cousin of the American character. The producers of Sesame Street however usually demand the bird to be renamed and given another color. For instance, in Dutch he is called Pino and is light blue rather than yellow. In Germany he´s called Bibo.
