Big Bird Description
Big Bird is the "everychild" of Sesame Street. Fine feathered friend to all, he may get overly excited about new discoveries and extremely disappointed when things don’t work out, but this bird is always willing to try again, correct his mistakes, and find a solution to his problems. Big Bird is a viewer’s six-year-old guide to Sesame Street.
Although he's a "happy" and social sort, Big Bird has a troubled soul. One major example is a secret "friend" that only he can see - Snuffleuppagus . It's common for someone suffering from mental illness to appear normal on the outside. However, when that same person is found in a back alley babbling to what they describe to be "a large, woolen, elephant-like thing," there might be realizations of unresolved conflicts from their childhood. I feel the producers of Sesame Street should let this character evolve a bit more. Could it be possible that growing up as an extremely-oversized bird might alienate someone from certain adolescent social circles?
