When Sesame Street’s Big Bird visited the Nixon White House as a guest of First Lady Patricia Nixon, the Secret Service’s radio frequency got mixed up with Big Bird’s microphone frequency—so the Secret Service was picking up Big Bird’s lines in their earpieces.
I googled and looked at many pictures of him. Mostly his eyes are wide open, and we don't see his eyelids I noticed. I wondered that too when I saw this picture, but I guess so.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me; so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.

Did Big Bird always have pink eyelids?

Too me he is just a big fluffy homo. I love your trivia. I learn so much from it.
