The Birdketeers, a counterpart to the Grouchketeers, was formed by Big Bird when Oscar the Grouch refused to let him into his club. The group is led by Big Bird and includes various kids and, on occasion, Mr. Snuffleupagus, amongst others. Miles joined the Birdketeers in a 1986 episode, and Monty once sang "Being a Birdketeer" as a tribute to the happiest day of his life. Big Bird made Willard Scott a Birdketeer, with his own outfit, during an appearance on Today (as seen in Time and Again).
