Bob Abdou sent this information to us. He posted this question on Facebook:
To my fellow ventriloquist/puppeteer peers in the UK…..does anyone have any idea why there is a bird puppet while the Beatles are playing Blackpool Night Out 1965?
Someone came to the rescue and answered Bob’s question:
This little fella is Tivvy, he was a stop frame puppet in the TV ads for “TV Times” magazine. There were models, dolls and books about him the mid 1960’s.
Thanks for this bit of trivia.
