The Different Colours of Big Bird in Different Countries!
March 30, 2021We all know the Big Bird from Sesame Street, but did you know that Big Bird appears in different colours depending on the country the show is from?
In Singapore, many of us grew up watching Seasame Street, and the iconic yellow Big Bird. This is the American version of Sesame Street, where the character appears in yellow, but for other versions of the show, Big Bird appears in other colours too!
Different Countries, Different Colours
As you can see in the tweet below, Big Bird actually appears in multiple colours, but they are actually known as his cousins! In fact, there are 8 of them!

I heard my friends on Twitter were asking about my cousins around the world! It’s true, I have a lot of bird cousins in different countries. Here’s a little bit about them:

His cousin in Portugal, that seems to have not been on air for awhile.
This is Poupas from Portugal. I haven’t seen him in a long time. If anyone sees him let him know Big Bird says hi! pic.twitter.com/oRAQDSxzPP

and his Brazilian cousin, who looks a tad big frightening.

In fact, you will find in Big Bird's family tree that he has brothers, a foster family, and more! How interesting is that!
