Participation in the Muppet Wiki Forums requires a full understanding of the Rules and Etiquette.
With Matt Vogel being the full-time Big Bird for several years now, I think it's safe to consider the 2004 puppet (which the Big Bird Through the Years article still lists as the current puppet) retired, since it hasn't been used since Caroll Spinney retired from physically performing his characters in 2015.
I'd also propose moving Vogel's Big Bird puppet to the main list, especially since the variant with googly pupils used in the early 1970s is also on that list. If anything, Vogel's puppet has been in use far more often than that version, IMO. Trevor807 09:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
