Great to have a character created for Sesame Beginnings make an appearance on Sesame Street itself. Plus it's great to expand Big Bird's family besides his Granny Bird.

Does anybody know who puppeteered Big Bird in this episode? I think Noel MacNeal.

This Has To Be One Of My Favorite Big Bird Episodes The Song Was Cute and The Hula Was Neat

It's interesting to find that BB has a relative from Hawaii when it has been stated that Snuffleupaguses were also from Hawaii. I know this was filmed during the pandemic when Marty and Byrant couldn't both be in the Snuffleupagus costume, but you'd think there'd be some mention of Snuffy in this episode, maybe noting that Hawaiin birds and Snuffleupaguses could have been friends years before Big Bird meant Snuffy. I know I may be overthinking this one but just something I thought of while watching.
