Will The Real Big Bird Please Stand Up?

Big Bird Bedlam! Is there an Imposter in the happy land of puppets?!

This has been bothering me for a long long time. Perhaps someone out there can lend some insight. As some of you may know, I am ½ Dutch ½ American. I was raised on Dutch Sesame Street aka Sesam Straat. All the characters are pretty much the same, Bert, Ernie, Cookie Monster, etc. except for one rather large discrepancy. Big Bird is not yellow and his name does not translate to Big Bird (which incidently would be Groote Vogel). He is a very large BLUE bird bearing no resemblance to the US Big Bird as we know him. I find this to be disruptive and disturbing. What about all of those poor expat children who move to Holland from the US or vice versa? What is this MADNESS?? This must turn a 3 year old’s world upside down. Check out the pics and comment on this Big Bird Imposter for yourself.
