The Log Bird appeared in the Sesame Street "Monsterpiece Theater" presentation of "Twin Beaks." The Log Bird is the resident expert in the town of Twin Beaks, who gathers information by consulting with his Log. The Bird is very protective of his log, and turns angrily on Agent Cookie when he feels his lumber has been insulted.

The character is a parody of the Log Lady (played by Catherine E. Coulson) on Twin Peaks.
