Character from Animaniacs by Steven Spielberg / WB
The short-tempered Goodfeather modeled on Joe Pesci's Tommy DeVito — a pigeon who takes every innocent remark as a personal insult and responds accordingly.
Pesto's defining feature is that he cannot receive a compliment. Squit says something kind; Pesto immediately suspects it's mockery; the ensuing argument follows the same escalation every time. Bobby watches, sometimes intervenes, usually laughs. He swears exclusively in Italian food names — 'TORTELLINI!' when things go wrong — which is both a parody choice and, somehow, more effective than actual swearing. He is genuinely formidable when aligned with a threat: loyal to his crew, capable of the kinds of decisive action that Squit narrates with awe. He just cannot stop being angry at Squit for breathing in an insulting manner. His sister is Sasha, who is Squit's girlfriend. The irony that he has to accept this is not lost on him.
The shortest of the Goodfeathers, which doesn't help his temper. Has heterochromia: pink right eye, light green left eye. Coiled with the energy of someone perpetually on the verge of a confrontation. His expression at rest is already slightly offended.
