The Muppet Show episode 520.
A set of Muppet bagpipes were to have been eaten by Angus MacGregor in a segment of Muppet Sports on episode 415 of The Muppet Show, until it was discovered that the bagpipes, "one of the deadliest creatures known to man," were still alive. The birdlike bagpipes also later appeared in episode 520, where they were performed by Jerry Nelson.
