The New York Department of Missing Birds were designed for the 1980 Sesame Street Live show A Sesame Street Mystery: The Case of the Missing Rara Avis. This group of incompetent constables is a reference to Mack Sennett's silent film troupe of Keystone Kops.
In the original 1980-1981 touring cast, the constables were performed by Lionel Douglass, Chikae Ishikawa, Amy Lachinsky, Stan Nelson, Thomas Sanford, Lisa Stanley, Buz Suraci, and Judy Swartz.
