Ballparks are great places for birds to hang out. Pigeons, seagulls, and other small birds can often be seen feasting on spilled popcorn. However, sometimes fans are lucky enough to catch sight of a larger-than-life bird, the Famous San Diego Chicken. The Chicken travels the nation attending sports events. He entertains the crowds at baseball, basketball, hockey, and football games. The human inside the chicken costume is Ted Giannoulas. He's been a chicken" since 1974. At that time he was a student working at a college radio station, hoping to break into the world of professional radio.
