I actually don’t recall watching much of Sesame Street growing up but I of course knew all about those puppets whose goal was to make sure you learned your numbers and your ABC’s. And even if you have never seen an episode of Sesame Street in your life you know all about that big yellow bird.
But now a Twitter user named tomwalkerisgood has just pointed out something about Big Bird that might change things forever. Check out his tweet below.
As his name is not “Biggest Bird”, we are to understand that Sesame Street is home to at least one, perhaps more, truly immense unseen birds

That’s right, boys and girls, there are probably giant birds flying around that neighborhood, plucking people off the ground. And that thought alone has freaked Twitter out. Have a look at some of the responses below.
Tom. Thanks to you i will never sleep again

Y’all his name is legit just “Big Bird” and he’s written as a 6 and 1/2 year old. He’s not the “biggest” yet cuz he’s still growin. https://t.co/dgwBfyu3Cv

Sesame Street canonically takes place within the largest bird of all- Kolob the Destroyer.

Unless “Big” is a proper noun a la the sex in the city character, Mr. Big, in which case Big Bird is the last of his kind & terribly alone

Big Bird is still a child so im pretty sure there are much larger adult Birds living in or around Sesame Street (if they arent extinct..)

This tweet lifted me after a hard day at work (& now can’t stop postulating about immensity and reason for non-disclosure of said giant birds) pic.twitter.com/Kytht5qwD0

Consider this: what if the Cookie Monster is still only in its infant stage?

So make sure to tell your kid that there are huge birds roaming around Sesame Street, quietly hunting their next meal.
