For the most part, Big Bird has always been puppeteered and voiced by the same guy, (used to be Caroll Spinney, but now it's Matt Vogel), and they would use their right hand to control Big Bird's mouth, and Big Bird's left arm had a piece of string to raise or lower his right arm as well to make up for the lack of movement in that arm.
On the other hand, Barney always had two different people playing him at the same time, one for voices and one for the costume. The guy in the suit would be able to control both of Barney's arms, and would bite down on a metal rod inside the head to keep it in place, while someone else would control the mouth through an RC unit.
