5 Great Birds by Media (Guest Post)
Just ask hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger, our feathered friends have a way of popping up where we least expect or want them. Yet, without their eggs, breakfast would be pretty dull. Without their flesh, the late Colonel Harlan Sanders of the great state of Kentucky wouldn’t have had much of a career. Without birds, what would birders watch? And so it is that we pay tribute to four our favorite avian friends of the big and little screen.
Big Bird
We guess his friends at Sesame Street have never found a large bird cage that was quite large enough for him…or is it her? Just what gender is Big Bird anyhow? Seems like a nice enough bird, but just how did he/she get so big in the first place? Is someone hawking steroids at Sesame Street.
Tweety
Another gender non-specific avian superstar. He/she/it’s a little twee for our tastes, but the way he/she/it gets Sylvester the cat all annoyed is quite mirth inducing.
Foghorn Leghorn
Advertisment
At least we’re quite certain of the gender of Tweety’s far more macho companion from the stables of the Warner Brothers cartoon dynasty. Gotta love his Southern gentlemanly ways and bluster, though we know a certain barnyard dog who doesn’t.
Woodstock
This little birdy would have no problem at all escaping from a large bird cage made for Big Bird or Mr. Leghorn, but he’s nevertheless built up quite a reputation as Snoopy’s best animal friend in the world and airplane mechanic in his sorties against his high flying enemy, the Red Baron. If you’re curious where the name came, creator Charles Schulz named him for the famed rock festival or, more accurately, the small bird with the guitar featured on its logo.
Woody Woodpecker
Walter Lantz’s creation is too famous not to list, but we still find him annoying. Just too much cackling. We prefer Heckle and Jeckle, but that would mess up the numbering.
