Meet the man inside Big Bird

[@maddluv123]

Rest easy, Carroll Spinney. :'( Thank you for bringing Big Bird and Oscar to all of us and making our childhood memorable.

[@Deuteromis]

The story about the kid always makes me cry.

[@isaiahwilliams2642]

Unfortunately Carroll couldn't quite reach the 50 year mark, but he made it 50 seasons and that's still impressive enough.

[@randomusergd8816]

“He died with a smile on his face” Live life to fullest. Never be afraid

[@ladybugg3601]

Rest in peace Big Bird you will never be forgot!!!😓❤

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

So sad that the little boy died of cancer. He was very sick! That’s why big bird was my childhood character and will still be today

[@_thebusphotograher_cali]

Nojiko Tangerine Lady: This is why I like big bird! He really cared about the little boy who had cancer. :(! Poor kid! He passed away! At least big Bird was there to make him smile

Mr Spinney is a God Send. I always think about Sesame Street and a reference to how I should act in life. Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch. What a spectrum!!!!🇺🇲

[@alfredbrown281]

[@ralphseifer492]

[@rtlthemusician5598]

[@spencermccarthy5157]

Something about Big Bird I can never take my mind off of is why does Big Bird have pink rings around his legs all the way down to his ankles.

[@ladybugg3601]

That's funny that he said this is the famous bird in America what about chicken???

[@kelvinlim5807]

We have a new big bird now so he will be missed

[@slapshot68]

She sometimes dates Oscar wen he’s in a bad mood

[@malcolmmonster7987]

I wish Caroll Spinney Would say hey stop teasing me that hurts my feelings stop teasing us to that hurts my feelings when ever he gets bullyied at school best thing to do is to get an adult or teacher principle to stop a bully to call his parents tell them pickup get him home woop him never get him back to school ever again

[@apenguinnamedabraham]

So have they taken him out yet?????

[@erjannjirehfernandez7918]

[@malcolmcarter884]

I wish they would cool down the big bird costume easy to hold on the big bird's head

[@malcolmmonster7987]

[@malcolmmonster7987]

Caroll spinney had retired

[@BabyLambCreations]

+Malcolm Monster79 No, he hasn't. He still does the voices of Big Bird and Oscar.

[@easfancalifornia1787]

He still voices big bird. But it would be sad if he dies one day. If Caroll dies the show is over.

[@malcolmmonster7987]

I Wish someone anyone anybody anyone would spend some quality time spending the day with Caroll Spinney and the little boy so they won't be alone anymore when families grive when somebody dies give their hearts a little time find some friends new friends so they would say hello ask their names come and spend some quality time spending the day with Caroll Spinney and the little boy so they won't be alone anymore not be so solo making new friends not be so shy learning growing working studying lessons reading playing with other kids they won't be too far look after them guided them taking great care of them talk listen connected disscusion understand each other

[@malcolmmonster7987]

I Wish Caroll Spinney Would start learning growing working studying lessons reading playing with other kids rather playing with his dolls he would do that sometimes he would stop playing with his dolls for a while longer or a little bit longer he would stop playing with his dolls for now on he would say hey quite teasing me with my big ears that hurts my feelings he needs to ignored these stupid kids just walk away like you never ever saw them again sometimes father's get bad temperd he needs to learn more about stop bullying speak up he needs to get an adult or teacher principle to stopped these bullies call their parents picking them up bring them home to teach them a lesson please don't tease anymore mary kate and ashley olsen would spend some quality time day together with Caroll Spinney and the little boy so they won't be alone anymore windzike the flower of Oz would give Caroll Spinney the little boy the power of courage and wisdom spirit phropecy agent responsible rules and regulations all of it and bring back their strength and durability Caroll Spinney Would make Big bird 7 years old make him go 5 in a half years old call someone would make big bird go visit a speech in school by the kids who are learning growing working studying lessons reading playing if big bird could go and he can do that too.

[@malcolmmonster7987]

I Wish They Would make big bird smart and clever and sensibility and not so brainless within a brain energized stright alright okay fine perfect movements look too keen feathers less haphazard the toes become not so cute make him feel perfect giving him eye contract was increased even more make him ask questions at 4 times

[@mikerodriguez5169]
