What Is Big Bird?

Ever wondered just what kind of bird Big Bird, of Sesame Street fame, happens to be?

Unfortunately, the answer's not so clear-cut:
It is believed that Big Bird is probably a giant canary. However, in an episode of Sesame Street Big Bird was asked if he was related to the cassowary, he replied, "I'm more of a condor." On a 1976 episode of Hollywood Squares, he said he was a lark. In the film, Don't Eat the Pictures, Osiris calls Big Bird an ibis.
