In Episode 4712 of Sesame Street, the main storyline revolves around Big Bird overcoming his stage fright to sing on a television show called "The Squawk." The episode starts with Elmo and Abby introducing the theme of songs by singing about it. After a snack at Hooper's Store, Big Bird, Elmo, and Abby hear a strange noise coming from the yard. They find Chris, who is excited to see a crew setting up for one of his favorite TV shows, "The Squawk." The host, Skip Squawk, informs Chris that only birds are allowed to sing on the show and invites Big Bird to perform instead. Big Bird hurries to his nest to practice, but Elmo and Abby notice he seems nervous.
Elmo and Abby find Big Bird pacing around his nest, worried about appearing on live TV in front of millions of people. They assure him there's nothing to worry about since he sings all the time. Big Bird recalls a song his Granny Bird used to sing to him (based on "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"), which would be perfect for the show. Snuffy overhears and shares his own fears about performing, making Big Bird even more nervous. Elmo and Abby help calm him down, but Big Bird ultimately decides to drop out of the show.
As preparations for "The Squawk" continue, Big Bird confesses to Skip that he's very nervous about performing. Skip tells him he can still attend the show and allows him to come onstage if he wants to. Big Bird likes the idea and gets ready. The show begins with a performance of "Old MacDonald" by a chicken. Next, Chris, dressed as a bird, sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." Watching from the audience, Big Bird sees how much fun singing onstage can be and doesn't feel as nervous. When Skip asks for any last-minute singers, Big Bird gathers the courage to volunteer. He sings his special song, encouraging everyone to join in. Everyone cheers, and Skip is moved.
Big Bird admits that having his friends around helped him feel better and invites everyone for snacks at Hooper's. Meanwhile, Chris calls his mom to make sure she saw his TV debut. In addition to the main storyline, Abby Cadabby leads the gang in a song to introduce the letter of the day, S.
