Rua Sésamo

Tita (Cat), Ferrao (Grouch) and Poupas (Orange Bird) from Portugal

Rua Sésamo is the Portuguese co-production of Sesame Street.

It aired only for a short period of time, from 1989 until 1991.

Poupas was a full-body character who was nearly identical to Big Bird, except for his orange feathers and black-and-pink eyelids. Tita was a female cat performed by Filipa Melo. Ferrao was a brown Grouch who lived in crates on Rua Sésamo.

Tita also appeared on the US Sesame Street special Sesame Street Stays Up Late!
