Notes[]

  • The Nutty Bird and Sour Bird commercials were released without copyright notices.
  • Although their personalities are very far apart, the Nutty Bird has a very close resemblance to the later Jim Henson creation, Big Bird, who would debut 3 years later
  • RC Cola remains under trademark, though the bird characters do not.
