Why He Rocks?[]
- He takes good care of his nest that he lives in.
- He is known for the famous song, "ABC-DEF-GHI" (Where he mistakes the alphabet as a long word), and even sang Surfin Bird once.
- His favorite snack is birdseed milkshakes, which he gets at Hooper's Store.
- He is the best friend of Snuffy the Snuffleupagus, and cares about him.
- Despite his size, he is a lovable, and sweet gentle bird to everyone who interacts with him.
- Is curious about the world around him, and became much smarter throughout the series because of his curiosity.
- Cares alot about his friends, especially Cookie Monster, and Elmo.
- Got his own movie called Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird as the first film of the two Sesame Street movies with the second one called The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland.
- Is still just as likeable as he was in his original movie going to rescue Elmo getting transported through Oscar's secret tunnel to Grouchland U.S.A. alongside his friends on Sesame Street.
- He's likely the nicest of all the members on Sesame Street, or at least one of them.
- Even though he's friendly, and are often accidents. He has remarkable physical strength because of his size being able to easily break things, such as Gabi's bed, as pretty much one of the strongest Sesame Street characters.
- Has many funny moments at certain times in the show, such as pretending there was a monster in Gabi's bed after he got scared thinking there was one on her bed.
Bad Qualities[]
- While he's depicted as a friendly laid-back bird almost all of the time in the show. There were a few cases where he went off character, and had angry moments towards others. Although it's not too bad of a quality, since he always apologizes afterwards to who's feelings he may have hurt. Another sad moment was the adults explain to Big Bird that Mr. Hooper has died.
