Of course, the bird is a figurine, not a real animal because the assistant announcer voices the clucking chicken voice, that's the info of the Match game 76-77 bird.
And the bird is clucking like a chicken...HA HA HA!!! I was only 3 in 76 but I remember who big the Bicentennial was...but I don't remember the bird thing.
It just occurred to me that some of the younger folks might not get the "Bicentennial Moment" thing, so here goes. Throughout 1976, CBS aired a series of PSA-style ads, called "Bicentennial Moments," intended to teach a little American history. Each was opened with an eagle flying across/through the screen. They were pretty much universally hated, though; this was Match Game's parting shot, effectively giving the bird the bird.

The Bird was named after Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, the guys who produced the show
