When the total is reached, a song is played and Big Bird dances. During this stage, Big Bird is seen with his basket and numbers flash on the screen progressively faster as he counts. Periodically, Big Bird will exit the screen to count his eggs. ' Turkey in the Straw', the song that plays during the egg-catching, also increases in tempo. At higher levels, the eggs move faster, the chutes become more convoluted, there are more egg-laying hens, and the chutes may even flash invisible. When an egg is dropped, a number of points are lost. Most eggs count for a single point, but a golden egg will periodically appear that is worth five points.
These eggs travel down variously contorted chutes to land safely in the basket perched on Big Bird's head.
In Big Bird's Egg Catch, the player controls Big Bird as he saves eggs produced by chickens at the top of the screen.
