Wow dude. You have such an AWSOME JOB (i said it again). You portray my favorite muppet! Oh, and one more question, how do u operate the mouths on your costume and all the others( Elmo, Zoe, Telly, etc.)?

To operate the mouths

To operate the mouths this is called a mech its a handle that you sqeeze. There are two different kinds. Big Bird has two mechs inside of him one that looks like this http://timothylogue.com/mech1Bird.jpg.This is a long pole that controls his head movement ( it can move up, down, right and left ) and also the mouth and at the end of it as you can see there is a mech. The other mech that Big Bird has is the same as every other muppet and that is the hand mech and that looks like this http://timothylogue.com/mech1Telly.jpg this is in the left or right hand of the character ( depends if the person is right or left handed )



Anymore questions feel free to ask!
