Pinto the Parakeet
Photos and Information

We got Pinto in December 1998 to keep our first parakeet, Nazo, company. In the photo, Pinto is the blue parakeet on the right. In no time at all, Pinto grew to be larger than Nazo and as you can read in Pinto's 1999 Adventures, Pinto sort of took over the flock of two.

In late 1999 we got a third parakeet, Santo, and Pinto is still the ruler. This has lasted until the current date. Pinto is in charge. She sees Nazo as the bird to keep an eye on. She wants to be whereever Nazo is and take over :)

Originally Pinto was afraid of baths, and afraid of real food. However, after following Nazo's lead, Pinto is now equally as fond of baths as Nazo is and equally as bold in leaping in!
