I believe that the exact number of feathers varies. According to Muppets' costumer, Michelle Hickey, the feathers are replaced every two weeks, or after Big Bird appears at an event. The feathers are hand glued onto a ribbon, which is hand stitched onto the costume. I doubt they actually count the feathers, especially since feathers are usually bought and sold by weight.
