I’m going to try not to get in the habit of posting “memes” although I have to confess I have a tremendous archive of weird philosophy “memes.” A few of them won’t hurt you, right?

Actually, that’s a perfectly reasonable objection. Predators having forward-facing eyes is a characteristic of evolutionary history. The correlation only exists for species that have developed under selective pressures favoring binocular vision.
As a muppet, Big Bird is not an evolved organism, but a designed one. The placement of the eyes therefore say absolutely nothing about eating habits, but only about the mentality of the designers.

Big Bird is also made of felt and rides a unicycle, suggesting he is a muppet.
Cherry-picking! ;-)

maybe its a velociped making him possibly a velociraptor.

So you’re saying that Jim Henson was a predator?
