Daddy Dodo is the head of the Dodo family, and Big Bird's foster father in Follow That Bird.
Well-meaning if eccentric, neither Daddy nor Mommy Dodo can truly provide Big Bird with the love and affection he needs, and both display a prejudice towards non-birds, such as Mr. Snuffleupagus. Daddy Dodo also exhibits an inability to operate riding lawnmowers, setting one loose in the yard, and a tendency towards exhaustion during the family's morning workout. Like the rest of the family, he's oblivious to the fact that Big Bird hasn't taken well to being called "Big Dodo" and other changes in his life with the Dodos.
He drives a light blue Cadillac with the word "DODO" on the license plate.
