Green Lenny as of June 19, 2006.

The Lenny is a bird-like Neopet similar to the stork, ostrich, flamingo, a peafowl (when painted Faerie), or a condor (when coloured Mutant), that was released some time before January 2000.

One of the original Neopets released on the site, the Lenny is a highly intelligent and curious bird and perhaps Neopia's most intelligent species alongside Aishas, as made apparent by such Lennies as the Conundrum Lenny and Finneus. They can master many forms of magic and use their cunning to outwit any opponent. Lennies can fly, but their wings can only carry them short distances, and usually only to a hover. Despite the fact they have been around since the creation of Neopets, they are the second least popular Neopet not Limited Edition in front of Gnorbu and have a smaller growth ratio in comparison to even newer Neopets.
