Gonzo's attraction to chickens

Gonzo's amorous desires are most often centered on chickens. This poultry passion first surfaced in episode 204 of The Muppet Show, when he held auditions for dancing chickens. Dave Goelz ad-libbed the line, "Don't call us, we'll call you... nice legs, though!" After this, the writers decided that Gonzo should have an attraction to chickens.

Episode 318 introduced Gonzo's regular chicken girlfriend, Camilla (although even Gonzo doesn't know which chicken is Camilla sometimes; they all look alike).

In Muppet Babies, like his grown-up counterpart, Baby Gonzo also has an obsession with chickens.

Although Camilla is the only chicken with a regular name and personality, there have been instances where Gonzo has refered to other chickens by name. In The Muppet Christmas Carol Gonzo introduces a live chicken to Rizzo named Louise. Gonzo also did a dancing chicken act with a live chicken named Lolita. The Tuxedo Gonzo Action Figure by Palisades Toys includes a pack-in figure of a chicken named Bernice. In the audio commentary for "Bohemian Rhapsody", Gonzo mentions that the other two chickens in the video besides Camilla are named Ethel and Stephanie.
