Spinney's career inside the Big Bird costume was portrayed in the 2015 documentary I Am Big Bird, which covered some of his darker moments, including suicidal thoughts after his first wife left him and took their kids, and the jealousy he felt when the character Elmo became more popular than Big Bird.
The beloved Big Bird is a fluffy pear-shaped mass of yellow-dyed turkey feathers set atop spindly legs and stands at more than 2.4 meters tall. His original portrayal was of a goof but Spinney developed him into a character whom children could relate to and adored as they learnt about letters and numbers.
Spinney also gave life to Big Bird's antithesis, Oscar the Grouch, the furry green creature who offered his curmudgeonly views on the goings-on on Sesame Street.

Very sad day 😥 I can still remember the episode when Mr Hooper died. Only having the ABC growing up, Sesame Street was a big part of life. RIP Big Bird
Big Bird flew into the heaven.
