Big Bird stunts

Unlike most Sesame Street Muppets, Big Bird is capable of interacting with his surrounding environment in situations that would prove physically challenging for other non-human characters. These feats are sometimes physically challenging, potentially dangerous, or simply unique in nature compared to the usual circumstances most scripts find him in.
==Roller skates==
Big Bird's most frequent unusual feat is his ability to roller skate. So common is this activity, that when Big Bird ran for President in Episode 0797, he ended his campaign when he learned that his responsibilities would keep him from rollerskating. Snuffy listed rollerskating in Episode 0816 as one of the things his friend was best at, and Big Bird ran a lemonade stand in Episode 1300 to help pay for a new pair of skates.
The activity runs in the family as observed by Granny Bird's disco dancing in Episode 1932, and his cousin Abelardo Montoya who skates on occasion, including in Episodio 741.
In merchandise, Big Bird has been accessorized with roller skates for a 2000 Fisher-Price toy and 2020's Lego Ideas Sesame Street set.

==Unicycle==
Perhaps more unusual, but less frequent, is Big Bird's ability to ride a unicycle. (Honorary mention: Caroll Spinney cameos as a unicyclist in Episode 0755).
