Pilfer

Pilfer is a parrot.
Timon the meerkat collected shiny stones, only for Pilfer to steal them. However, when a cape dog attacked Timon, Pilfer returned and used the stones to chase the predator off. Grateful to Pilfer for having saved his life, Timon became the parrot's friend. He questioned Pilfer on where more shiny stones were, and the parrot gave him directions to where he might find more.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Pilfer lived in the jungle, where they once encountered a great horde of large shiny stones.
===Assisting Timon===
Captivated by Timon's shiny stones, Pilfer stole the treasure from the meerkat, who shook his fist angrily at the parrot. No sooner had Timon done this when a cape dog appeared. Before the carnivore could devour Timon, Pilfer dropped one of the shiny stones on the predator's head, and the cape dog ran away. No longer angry at the parrot, Timon began to exchange old savanna stories with Pilfer, who soon became like an old friend.
While talking, Pilfer revealed to Timon that there were more shiny stones elsewhere. Wanting to impress Pumbaa and Simba, Timon agreed to follow the parrot's directions to the shiny stones. When he reached the location, however, he was informed by an aardvark named Arnold that parrots had long ago extracted all the shiny stones from their original location.
==Physical appearance==
Pilfer has dark eyes, wide wings, and long talons. They have a broad beak, with a large upper mandible and a small lower mandible. While their chest is scruffier than the rest of their body, their back is smooth and unbroken by ruffles. Their main body is red, while the backs of their wings are blue. Their chest is slightly darker in color, and their face is a creamy tan.
==Personality and traits==
Despite their playful nature, Pilfer is helpful and thrifty. They do not hesitate to take objects that fascinate them, though they are more concerned about the safety of others than their own ventures, as seen when they used their precious treasure to keep a cape dog from hurting Timon.
