@Lady Jane suggested that I ask @PoukieBear, @Budgiebonkers or @Ripshod for some help with sex ID.

So, hopefully one of you lovely people will be able to let me know for sure what sexes these guys are so I can give them names to suit them.
I’m actually more concerned about breeding and egg laying to be honest than names that suit sex....I love hearing of female birds named Kevin, it always gives me a giggle Lol.
Congratulations! Give them a little time. Their personalities will help you chose names.
We named our two new babies Faith and Hope, before we picked them up. Faith has an attitude! She? is adorable, but sassy. Hope is cuddly and sweet. And yes, we can tell them apart, just by personality. Good luck with your one babies!

How about Munro and Scout? Burt's bike was a 1920 Scout.

Or you could name him after other favorite Hopkins characters. :)

I like that. A great movie and story that deserves it.

:coffeescreen: Well maybe not those particular characters. :hehe:

That reminds me, my dad's elderly neighbor used to have a yorkie named "Killer". :lolsign:

Lol....yes.
:hehe::hehe: His full name at the vet is Burt Munro with my surname following.

The vet thought it was the best name she had heard for a bird for a long time as so many of them get the same sorts of names and my bird had a very unique name....she had to tell the staff they had never seen a good movie if they hadn’t seen that one and weren’t familiar with the name lol.

I just love that movie and Anthony Hopkins is one of my favourite actors.

It actually started out as a joke but stuck pretty quick. We originally were calling him Munro but Burt suited him more so that is what he ended up being called. Maybe one day he will be the fastest macaw :rofl:

I now have two budgies who will eventually go out into one half of the aviary once I’ve finished cleaning and setting it up and I’m hoping in the meantime to earn the complete trust of these two gorgeous babies I impulsively brought home.
View attachment 303545

I was told they were parent raised and not handled (other than to be boxed up for me to bring home), they will already sit on my hand as long as I don’t move and if I have this grass stuff that grows in our yard then they are all over me.
I’m not sure what the grass is so any help would be appreciated...same as name suggestions :) View attachment 303546

I will post some better pics of the babies soon in the hopes someone can confirm what sex they are as I’m having a hard time deciding.

Splish and splash are good names if you want them to match or more humanized names could be Jake and Jackson or even Braydon and braxten

Sorry for my lack of responses.
I have hardly been home over the past few days and when I have been it’s been for a short time to spend with Burt and do other pet duties and get some rest before my next medical or dental appointment. It’s been a mad week here (again) so I’ve not posted a lot.

Thank you all for the suggestions of names, I will wait a little longer to see the personalities come out a bit more then see what ends up sticking as names for these little guys.

I am still fascinated by how absolutely tiny they are! Lol.
