It turns out Sesame Street's Big Bird has loads of cousins from all over the world

We had no idea!

Anyone who's ever heard of children's television will be familiar with Sesame Street and of course the 8 foot 2 family favourite 'Big Bird'.

But did you know that multiple versions of the children's show exist around the world and that each has their own version of Big Bird?

TikTok user @ohhellosunny had pretty much the same reaction as us when she found out:

Big Bird has done a Twitter threat on all of his bird cousins, get ready for an emotional overload:

I heard my friends on Twitter were asking about my cousins around the world! It’s true, I have a lot of bird cousins in different countries. Here’s a little bit about them:
