PinkParrot began as a character on a message board. I have always loved birds, and I believe that the Galah is the most beautiful of all parrot type birds.
Parrots are interesting little beasts and do whatever they want. They have a definate appreciation of the absurd, and are capable of many "human" emotions.
Pinky took on a life of her own, eventually, becoming to me like an actual being, much as Charlie Brown must have seemed real to Charles Schultz, after awhile.
Pinky battles chaos on a daily basis. Because she is an accounting parrot, she finds the nature of life to be very frustrating and upsetting. Nothing stays where you put it...nothing works out the way you have planned.
Pinky grimly plods on trying to bring order to her crazy family and work life, and finds humor along the way. She supports herself and deals with her own life without apology, usually, except when her family trips her up, and tries to stop her joyful response to everyday challenges. Oh well. Dat's life in the bird cage.
