Choosing a name for your new parrot can sometimes be quite hard and stressful. So here are a few helpful hints that I always use to figure out a name for my newest addition.
-A name that reflects your interests or hobbies: like if you like mysteries you could name it Agatha. Or if you liked a specific clothing line you could name it something like Abercrombie. If you like magic tricks and illusions you could name it Abracadabra.
-A name that reflects the birds colors: so for instance your bird is green, yellow, or blue. There are quite a few possible names like Kiwi (green), Sky (Blue), or Honey (yellow).
-A name to reflect your nationality: if you're Spanish you could name it something like Amigos (Friend) or Bonita (Beautiful). Or if you're French something like Perroquet (Parrot).
-A Name that simply attracts to you: You have to like your birds name! So try looking at some that just simply interest you. Some of my personal favorites include:
-Mimi
-Jo Jo
-Sally
-Sunny
-Bella
-ZiZi
-Sammy
-Nina
-Lulu
-Star
You can try searching pet names on the internet to start yourself off with some fresh new ideas.
I also like to try a shorter easy name in case I am planning on teaching the bird how to say its own name, in a case like this I wouldn't name a parakeet Worcestershira which is much to long, but something like Alexandria could work since I could call her Alex for short, these are all the things you must consider while thinking up a name for your new pet.
I always start with a list of my favorite names and narrow them done one by one until I finally come to my perfect birds name!

this really helped me choose my birds name! i named my new yellow parakeet lulu. thanks a bunch!
ReplyDeleteIm planning on getting a Sun Conure (I like their cuddly nature and beauty). I think that Malibu would be my best choice for this bird because the colors of the Sun Conure are bright and refreshing, and Malibu is a bright refreshing name. Dont you think so? :]
ReplyDeleteThat name is a perfect fit for a sun conure. And really original too! I absolutely love it! I owned a sun conure as a child and I can assure you they are great birds too. The best of luck to you and Malibu!
