Two Zebra Finches, Sydney and Matilda; they've got two babies now, haven't
named them yet, though, because we won't know their sexes 'til they grow
some more...
Used to have a rehabbed wild bird named BeeBee, because she was so small
when I found her...
Had a pair of Canada Geese I fed at the pond, named Apollo and Daphne.
My policy is to name an animal the first thing that comes to mind when I
encounter it and ask myself, "What should we call you?" and if there's any
rhyme or reason to it, it beats me....
The finches are the only critters I've ever purposely named, after
thought. Most of my animals sort of name themselves; or God names them...

My first (late) cockatiel's name was Coco. Present birds' names are:
Squeak, cockatiel (the only one I've named); Half-Pint, cockatiel;
Chico, cockatiel; and Jeckyl, white-fronted Amazon.

When I decided to get a cockatiel, I thought they were very nobel looking
birds, and so I thought very hard about what to name him.
My first one was named Lancelot, and the second is Perceval - both Knights
of the legendary King Arthur's round table. If I get a female, she will
be Guinevere, and if I get a larger bird, that one will be King Arthur
himself.

Joseph (for his coat of many colors) and Gooneybird ('nuff said) are the "big

Ghost (he's an ethereal light gray and wispy blue, plus he looks like Conrad

My two Goffin's cockatoos are Egon (formerly named Jojo, but at the time I had
a cockatiel named Joey, so I changed the name; besides, Jojo had been abused
and Egon hasn't) and Skye Dancer, Skye for short. Both males, by the way.
Egon is 8 now, Skye just turned 2.
Orange-winged Amazon, Skipper -- he was already named when I got him at age 19.
He's around 38 now . . .
Nanday conure is Zholee. (My sister named him Jolie; I just changed the
pronunciation a bit. He was named after Al Jolson . . .)
Zebra finches; white male, Jack, normal male, Phil, normal females Lena and
Newly.
English budgie, Jean-Luc. He looks like Patrick Stewart, who played Captain
Jean-Luc Pickard on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Crippled mourning dove, who thinks he's a cockatiel; Sammy.
Current flock of cockatiesl, normals unless otherwise noted; Rowan (pied male),
Christine, MacGyver (split normal male), Jasmine, Rene' (lutino male), Ray
(pied male), Denny (pearlie pied female), Toby (heavy pied female), (next group
offspring of the above flock plus some that have since died -- none of these
were bought) Miracle(single chick), Iolaus (single chick), Shadow (single
chick; didn't realize she was in the nestbox until way late!), Robinton/Robin
(pied male) and Timidity/Timmy (lutino male)(two chicks), Xena, Mulder (pied
male),and Gabrielle (pied male) (three chicks), Rusty (fallow pearlie pied
female), Michael (pied male), and Andrew (pied male) (three chicks).
Currently there are two unnamed babies in the nest box . . . parents are Rowan,
Jasmine, and Iolaus. Before this, all the other babies were hatched by Ray,
MacGyver, Christine and Misling (since deceased) with Miracle taking over her
mother's place. For some reason, my cockatiels do better with multiple parent
birds; unsure if others have found this happening too, but my flock does get
along well . . .

In the aviary:
Cinnamon - a male Spice finch, they are brownish in color and cinnamon
was the first brown spice that came to mind
Jarelle - Cinnamon's mate, a society finch. Originally, she was
thought to be male and we named her Jorel after Superman's father
because the brown spot on her back looks like a super-hero cape. We
modified the spelling when we saw her and Cinnamon doing their thing.
Now she's the proud mother of:
Rainbow Peace (M), SunBeam (?), Moonbean(?), and 5 yet unnamed eggs
(due to hatch in a week or so, I think) - all Spiciety finches, of
course, though they look a lot like their father. It's hard to tell
Cinnamon and RainbowPeace apart, in fact. They were all named because
of the communal nesting practices of the other birds who all joined
together in raising them. We were reminded of our parents' flower child
stories.
Sister Mary Finch - a white headed Munia. She looks like a Monk, and
we wanted to name her Father Ken (my priest throughout college), but the
store owner was sure she was female, so we modified it.
Mira - an orange cheeked waxbill. Named after a cross-stitch design
company (Mirabilia) that specializes in fairies. Mira's song sound
EXACTLY like the twittering of a Disney cartoon bird and reminded me of
the fairies in other Disney flicks.
Bic - also an orange cheeked waxbill and quite enamored of Mira (though
no nest building yet). Bic flicks his little tail from side to side
like a train switch which prompted my mother to start quoting "Flick
your Bic" commercials.
ArToo - a male pintailed Whydah. if you ever heard him sing, you would
know why we called him that. He sounds EXACTLY like R2D2 when he's
excited.
In the living room:
Serra - a female white zebra finch, named after Serra Angels, a Magic
the Gathering card, because she is pure white and looks like a little
angel.
Rockwell - Serra's mate, a male, standard grey zebra finch, named after
the modem manufacturer, because his call when he is happy or excited
sounds like a modem stuck unsuccessfully renegotiating a handshake.
The lovebirds:
Daffodil (aka Dilly) - she is bright yellow except for her peach
forhead and lavendar tail. I like to sing "Lavendar Tail, Dilly Dilly"
which was the main reason for the name (aside from her coloring)
Sage (aka Sagelepsy) - Dilly's brother. He is Army fatigue green with
a blue tail. Sage was the first green plant we could think of that
sounded like a good bird name. The nick name is because his excited
bobbing everytime we walk into a room looks like he's having a little
seizure.
That's all of them. The cats and fish have names too, but I won't go
into all of that here.

all? I'm seriously asking this, because I have a QP and a Meyer's now, and
have been dreaming about getting a male Eclectus, and the only thing that's
really holding me back is the "guilt factor" with making sure I can still
give attention to the other two birds.

I usually DO forget the fish! I just call them "the fish" now and I
don't think we've named the latest group! we used to name all the
plants, but they kept dying. They seem to last longer without names! :)

Its not always easy to hang out with everyone but we do manage. I must admit
the budgies tend not to bother with us at all so the 4 of them are pretty
content with each other (we keep trying though).
They all came to us as rescues and we've worked with all of them so they are
able to be handled and loved. Sometimes we play games that involve three or
four of them at once. (and yes we both work full time as well)

That's very reassuring. I'm in the process of having a bird gym built for
Roscoe and Suzi, but I know it won't be too much longer before I'm going out
to Louisiana to put a deposit on one of Dean and Sherry Simon's babies...
I can't say enough for those two- I've seen some wonderful, well socialized
baby birds in my time, but what they do with their Eclecti is nothing short
of incredible. You'd think these babies were Cockatoos (minus the
screaming) by the way they love to be handled and coddled.
No sales pitch, but I've been fond of the Eclectus since I got into birds.
They're just... different, in all the right ways. :)

We have an 11 year old peach face lovebird named Birdsie Wordsie (B-W). His
first owner was a kindergarden teacher; she hand-fed B-W and thus took him to
school with her every day. His name was arrived at by consensus of the class
(what else would a bunch of 5-year-olds name a bird?). And, the name is very
appropriate -- a silly name for a very silly bird.

I have a blue and gold macaw named Budster. A greenwing macaw named
Brutus. A cockatiel named tweet. A very loud amazon named Manard and
also a very loud patagonian conure named Poopies.

Baby Boy - our wonderful pied cockatiel
Michaelangelo - our normal male cockatiel, who's totally devoted to Baby
Tosha - our normal male, who we used to think was female prior to his
first molt
Yoshi - our beautiful spring green parakeet, Tosha's best friend. My son
named him after the green Nintendo video game character
Sweetie - our female normal cockatiel, who's falling in love with Tosha.
We rescued her from some dangerous boys who were being mean to her, about
a month ago. Two of them had bloodied fingers when we arrived but she's
been so sweet, gentle and loving since we brought her home
And one more normal female, who flew to my 7 yr old daughter a week ago,
who still remains unclaimed and unnamed. Maybe she heard our males
whistling their favorite song, Pop Goes the Weasel?!? She's very wild and
bites hard but seems to be adjusting well and calming down

How about naming her/him "Wild Child"?
