Small Bird

Small Bird is a character created for the Ice Follies touring show featuring (skate-around), full-bodied versions of the Sesame Street Muppets.

Premiering in the 41st edition of the Ice Follies in September 1976, Small Bird appeared in a number with Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert, and Ernie.

Performed by six-year-old Adam Baker of the Ice Follies performing Baker family of seven, Small Bird was reported by some members of the press to be either the "son" of Big Bird or his little little brother, but more accurately a "protege" to Big Bird's "mentor" by others  tagging along with the elder bird who was "teaching him what life was all about".

Small Bird stood forty inches tall and was reportedly created by Jim Henson especially for Ice Follies.

The character appeared in Ice Follies shows until at least 1978, but never featured in any other media.
