Bertha (Sesame Street)

Bertha is a patron of Hooper's Store who appears on Sesame Street in Episode 1207. She looks very much like Bert, but with long, black, stringy hair.

She makes Bert's acquaintance when the two of them order the same plain, flat, soda waters just moments from one another. They make quick friends and soon discover they share many of the same interests: marching band music, oatmeal, and collecting paper clips and bottle caps.

They even keep the same pets: Bertha has a pet pigeon named Francine who she introduces to Bert's pet pigeon Gus.
