Mrs. Nestor's Mother
Momma, also known as Mrs. Nestor's Mother, is a purple bird and the mother of Nestor and Lester. She is the owner of the Stash "N" Hoard. She is well known for firing people and employees. This causes her many problems and anger issues. She is voiced by Jayne Eastwood.
Appearance[]
Momma is a short, elderly purple bird. She wears glasses like her son. She wears a purple blouse, black shoes, and a grey wig.[1][2]
Personality[]
Momma is very controlling and aggressive, often yelling, attacking, or firing people for the slightest transgressions. She is also shown to be sadistic, often reveling in other people's misfortunes. Momma is physically very strong, being able to tackle and overpower people much larger than her. In "Store Wars", she claims that she had her tear ducts removed and thus is unable to cry, but in "Momma Lisa Smile" she cries after breaking up with her boyfriend Garth.

Family[]
Momma is the mother of Nestor and Lester. She claims that Lester is her #1 son and is shown to greatly prefer him over Nestor. She frequently beats, berates, and belittles Nestor, but becomes lonely without him when he moves out of her house in "Empty Nestor Syndrome", which results in her using Scaredy as a replacement son to cope, and implying she does indeed care about Nestor despite the majority of their interactions suggesting the opposite. Momma also has a mother who appears in "Mrs. Nestor's Mother's Momma" and "Abracagrandma". Momma worries about her mother's safety and gets angry whenever she suspects someone has put Grandmama in danger. It's implied that Grandmama has never told her daughter that she loves her, as Momma acts shocked when Scaredy tells her he loves her while impersonating Grandmama.
Momma: "I'm just checking up!"
Scaredy (pretending to be Grandmama): "Okay, good, we're checked. I love you!"
Momma: *gasp* "You never said that be-"
