i had one. poor thing took a few baths with me, i cut his hair, threw up on him twice. so he smelled really bad!!!!! my grandpa threw him away, but my mom went and got him out of the trash!

That's so funny! I broke mine by sticking my fingers in it's mouth while it was talking and recreating a fighting scene i saw on t.v. using Teddy Ruxbin. Teddy won that fight. I too gave BB a haircut and threw up on it when I was 6. RIP Talking Big Bird;)

I used to have this toy when i was a kid. I miss it. It was one of my favorites! It was left with some other toys when my mom and me and my sisters moved. I know I would still have it today, at my age of 23, if mom didn't leave it behind.

everytime big bird started talkin in my ear. i swear i smacked him so hard, the batteries fell right out his head. he used to keep me up wheni was tryin to get some sleep! big bird is whack. i broke mine by crackin its wings off with a chainsaw. roflcopter.

Once I stole this toy out of my two year old brother's crib. I pulled the string like my dad pulled the lawnmower, and then it broke. I soon lost interest in the not talking big bird and watched He Man instead. My brother came down stairs surprised to his new best friend on the coffee table, and then he pulled the string. "I....love..." and then he cried over the slurred sounds of his former best friend. "Oh yeah. It broke. Sorry about that." I told him. "Be quiet, I'm watching He Man."

I still have mine. You lifted up one of his wings & stuck the cassette tape in the slot. My mom would get mad at me for lugging him around by the neck.

I had this as a child. I hated it...it scared the living h e double hockey sticks outta me. He sat high on my bookshelf and when his batteries would get old, he would talk on his own with a really slow, deep voice...I had my ma get rid of him.

I still have mine and i use it for my son everynight to go to bed. his eyes and mouth still work!!

My Gosh I had this guy! He was my best friend! Sadly my dear friends head fell off and we had to trash him! (I'm still trying to get over it LOL) I've been looking for one for my son!

I actually remember going with my granpa and picking this out when my brother was born. (I was 4, and they wanted me to feel special too, I guess... lol) but he talked, sang, the whole 9. I lost him years and years ago, but always remembered him. Last year we went to a flea market in Nacogdoches, and I saw one sitting on a table marked for $5. I made such a deal over it, my husband rolling his eyes the whole time, that the guy GAVE him to me. It was hilarious! There I was at 26 years old literally jumping up and down screaming, 'That's MY BIG BIRD!' and yanking poor hubby over to the table!

I actually think I still have mine up in the attic with the rest of my childhood toys.

I absolutely loved this toy! I am trying to find one with no luck so far. I remember it being my favorite as a kid but no idea what ever happened to it. I want to get one for my son!

I begged my mom for three years at Christmas for a talking big bird. She couldn't afford it, but she didn't tell me that. She just said "maybe next year." Then one year when I was older and didn't like Sesame Street anymore, I didn't ask her for it, but she could finally afford it, so she got it for me. I pretended to love it, and played with it a few times, just so she wouldn't feel bad. Then when the garage sale came around, I said "No, we can't put Big Bird in the garage sale Mom!" just so she would think I liked it. I finally "was able to give it up" a few years later.

OMG....MY BIG BIRD..I loved my talking big bird he would eat breakfast with me and I took that heavy thing every where with me. I had him for years and then he eventually stop talking and ended up in a toy box in the backyard...and with an older brother big bird dissappeared never to be seen again =(

I have the 3 of them in perfect shape, if any of you are interested please email me tonka155@hotmail.com. I still have the boxes they were in too! Thanks.

I had purchased Talking Big Bird for my children back in the 80's. They are all grown up now. I have a 10 month old Grandson that would love this toy buy unfortunatly when I took it out of storage I noticed the cassett tape and story book is gone. If anyone knows where I can purchase these items please contact me via email. Thank you

Dear all, I was one of the engineers built this talking big bird back in the 80s. I also handled the production of Teddy Rupix, Grubby, Oscar and Cookie Monster. I missed these wonderful toys too.

I had a talking big bird and we just to abuse the crap out if him we accused him of being nasty): the last straw was when i put a prince tape in his back and he was singing then ruined my tape!!

my sister got one of these when she was 7 , when she wasi nthe hposital. i think it just fell apart and was thrown out.

I just found one at the dump! I am 28 and I have always wanted one!!!

I loved the song " ON THE FARM" lol...i wish i had one for my kids.... nice memories..
