I read that rehomed birds do better if they ARE renamed so I hope that helps you in your decision.
Some do; some don't. It depends on the type of bird, the age, the associations with the former home, and whether or not s/he identifies strongly with the name. Large parrots sometimes do identify strongly with a name, much like a small child would.

My B&G (a DNA female) came to me at age 5 named "Elvis." And she not only knows it--she loves her name and says it all the time. She would not let me change it, as much as I wanted to. If I had insisted on changing her name, it would have created confusion and unhappiness. So, she is still "Elvis" with a slight change to "Elvissa" sometimes just for fun. :)

Whatever the situation with the name, congrats on the B&G, Tiffany! You will love having one. :hug8:

Shes home! She seems to be settling in well, shes been talking and playing with toys. She has a little problem sometimes stepping up but, I think its just because I'm new and everything else is new too.
Its was really hard picking her up from her family. There was some tears shed, I felt like I was taking their baby :sad7:

I will post some pics of her tomorrow when the lighting is better!

p.s We still haven't decided on her name yet
