857 Questions

What color is Big Bird?

It seems like many beaks are yellow, but that's because they get your attention faster. If you look at songbirds, very few of them will have yellow beaks.

The yellow color in bird beaks is caused by pigments called carotenoids. Carotenoids are chemicals that have nutritive properties and that exist in the pigment that colors plants and animals. As fat-soluble materials, carotenoids are ingested in countless colorful fruits and vegetables. They are important as antioxidants and for their capacity to get converted to essential vitamins.

A pale yellow beak indicates that the bird is not in breeding color, that there may be a dietary deficiency such as with Vitamin E, or if it is a female bird, such as the chicken or duck, it will indicate that the bird is laying eggs and all this color is going to the yolk which will feed the baby bird within the egg.

Did the muppets come from sesame street?

Well ...not exactly.

Jim Henson had been doing puppetry for some time before Sesame Street started; he had had a short sketch comedy show with puppets ("Sam and Friends") on TV, and had done a number of commercials for Wilkins Coffee with a puppet (named "Wilkins") that somewhat resembled Kermit the Frog without the "collar"/neck frill. He had settled on the name "muppets" for his style of puppets and created a company named "Muppets Inc." by 1958, over 10 years before Sesame Street premiered. Wilkins (along with his co-star "Wontkins") and Rowlf the Dog, who appeared on the Jimmy Dean Show, were the most famous Muppets from this era.

In the 1960s, he met some of the founders of Sesame Street and decided to form a partnership with Children's Television Workshop; the basic agreement was that Henson would perform on the show at no fee, but would retain the rights to the Muppets used on the show, and CTW and Henson would split any revenue generated by them.

So, the Muppets existed before Sesame Street, but once Sesame Street premiered, for years the most well-known Muppets were those that appeared on Sesame Street. Most of the Sesame Street Muppets were created specifically for the show (Rowlf did appear on one segment, and "Wilkins" became "Kermit the Frog", with changes to make him more frog-like).

In the 1970s Henson did some sketches for Saturday Night Live featuring completely different (and frankly very weird) characters, and then started The Muppet Show with MOSTLY new characters.
