Watch Big Bird stress the importance of friendship in exclusive clip from Apple TV+'s Dear...

Big Bird is really thankful for friends during life's difficult moments.

In an exclusive clip from Apple TV+'s new series Dear..., above, the beloved Sesame Street character talks about how he relied on friends when his nest got destroyed in a hurricane. His friends helped build Big Bird a new home.

"Every time I'm sitting in my nest, I think about how lucky I am to have such great friends," he says in the sweet clip. "And when my friends are feeling sad or lonely or scared, I remind them that they can come see me and I can comfort them and I can help them not be afraid, because that's what friends are for."

The moment will feature in the "Big Bird" episode of the 10-part docuseries, which is executive produced by Emmy Award and Peabody Award winner R.J. Cutler. Inspired by Apple's groundbreaking "Dear Apple" spots, Dear… takes a unique approach to biographies of the most iconic figures in society today by using letters written by those whose lives have been changed through their work.
