Big Bird's family?

[Pino]

I saw follow that bird and ther they used a cartoon for Big birds family... Did they ever used real muppets for his family in sesame street?
And if so, are there picture from it?

 

[Cheebo]

the cartoon family was his imagination. If he had a real family there would be no use for Follow That Bird.

He does have a Granny Bird...he's mentioned her several times!

In the song "Tall Enough" he mentions a mom, dad, and sister...and in one of the Sesame Street Library volumes there is a comic which shows Big visiting several of his cousins

So, although TECHNICALLY we've never seen any on the show, I like to think he does have family

I vaguely recall a Granny Bird muppet with a babushka
on. I may be wrong.

In 1576, Big Bird mentions several relatives, including his Uncle Slim, a cowbird from Montana (who we see at the end of the episode)

I meant in episode #1576, from 1981.

Awwww... the old Sesame Muppet Family condundrum again, eh?

I don't really count the book versions of characters, since they are not the official Muppets used on the show..

In A Baby Sister for Herry, All of Herry's relitives look like Herry..

but the real puppets do not http://www.angelfire.com/super2/sesameak/SesameH/HerrysMom.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/super2/sesameak/SesameH/HerrysDad.jpg
