-As [[Muppet]]eer [[Caroll Spinney]] has aged, the show has gradually started to train new performers to play Big Bird. These apprentices include both [[Rick Lyon]] in the opening theme song of the show's 33rd season on, and [[Matt Vogel]] in the show's [[Journey to Ernie]] segment.

-Caroll Spinney was sick during the taping of a few first season episodes, so [[Daniel Seagren]] performed Big Bird in those episodes.{{Fact|date=March 2008}} He also performed Big Bird when he appeared on ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]'' in 1969. According to ''The Story of Jim Henson'' by Stephanie St. Pierre, the costume was built for [[Jim Henson]] to perform, but when Jim Henson tried it on, [[Kermit Love]], who had built the costume, did not think that Jim Henson was walking like a bird is supposed to walk, and Jim decided not to perform Big Bird. [[Frank Oz]] was offered the part, but since he hated performing full-body characters, he turned down the job.<ref>Stephanie St. Pierre. ''The Story of Jim Henson, Creator of the Muppets''.

-The Big Bird performer is completely enclosed within the costume, and extends his right hand over his head to operate the head and neck of the puppet. The Muppeteer's left hand serves as the Bird's left hand, while the right hand is stuffed and hangs loosely from a fishing line that runs through a loop under the neck and attaches to the wrist of the left hand. The right hand thus does the opposite of the left hand: as the left hand goes down, the right hand is pulled up by the fishing line. For some of the Journey to Ernie segments, a second puppeteer (usually Jim Martin) controls Big Bird's right hand. He is concealed by dressing in a body suit the same color as their [[chroma key]] background (something that obviously can not be done on the main ''Sesame Street'' set).

-The costume is partially assembled by company American Plume & Fancy Feather, using the tail feathers from [[Turkey (bird)|turkey]]s; as the feathers are rarely clean, company owner Anthony Trento calls the Big Bird costume his "toughest customer".  [[Sesame Workshop]] is said to reject roughly 90 percent of all the feathers selected for use on the costume.<ref>Anthony Trento, [http://money.cnn.com/2008/04/03/smbusiness/birds_feathers.fsb/index.htm?postversion=2008040415 "The man who feathers Big Bird"], [[CNNMoney.com]], [[April 4]], [[2008]].
