Reader Comment: "Clinton, I always have to smile when someone writes about or talks about a "Crazy Bird." (See post for 10-4) I wore out my first Crazy Bird and purchased a second one from you many, many years ago. I only use it in schools, cub scout programs, fairs and other "family" type shows ... but it's always been a hit. For cub scouts I actually take the puppet apart to show them how it's made out of a tin can head and plastic milk jug body. Then we tal
k about how they can go about making their own puppets out of household items. In my 30 plus years of being a vent, the Crazy Bird was one of my best purchases." Dale

Tin can head & milk jug body. I think I KNOW that person! HA! I always wanted to get one of these great looking puppets myself. Oh well. Thanks for sharing. W.S.
ReplyDeleteAw, I had a Crazy Bird, too. It was a great puppet. I remember being surprised and impressed about what it was made out of and how many animations were on it. Loved the flapping wings. Moving appendages really makes a character come to life. Shoot, I wish I'd hung onto it.
