Parrot Rescue visit tomorrow!

[Aves]

After I talk to the rep at the rescue this afternoon, I’ll let everyone know my idea for a name

If you need any ideas for names I have tons of ideas.

 

[Kassiani]

Awww, thank you @Aves! I have one in mind already that I think will work because it sounds like his current name!

 

[NightOwls]

I would be tempted to name...Kentucky.

 

[scrape]

Yay! I'm so happy for you @Kassiani!

 

[Kassiani]

I would be tempted to name...Kentucky.

OK, forgive the daft old woman, but why Kentucky?

 

[MommyBird]

Oh, and I’ll let you know on the name. As far as I know, he’s had the same one for more than 20 years, but it’s a name I don’t particularly like. I’m hoping to change it to something that maybe sounds the same? We’ll see

I'd never changed a bird's name until I adopted my little Jenday a bit over a year ago. He'd been called "Squawker" for 24 years. I just was really offended by that and sort of mad at the rescue where he was for 12 of those years because who would adopt a bird called "squawker" ? well, me I guess because it was actually a connection at first sight even though I was hoping to find another BCC after Will died.
First thing I did was start calling him "Walker" and he never missed a beat. I actually think he likes it better. He sure responds to it!

 

[Kassiani]

He’s mine to work with and get to know and eventually bring home if all goes well during our visits over the next few weeks!!!

I hope he approves of me Holy goodness...I need to order a cage!!

 

[NightOwls]

I am easily amused - naked parrots look like chicken -> KFC -> Kentucky.

Plus it is not too common of a name.

Walker, Texas Ranger????

 

[sunnysmom]

That's wonderful news! Congrats.

 

[Sparkles99]

You need to stock up on toys!

 

[Kassiani]

Yes I do!!!!

 

[MommyBird]

Walker, Texas Ranger????

yeah, that's how I introduce him sometimes. But really it was just a good name that sounded like his old one.
Do you believe that show is still on daytime TV!? I get all of 10 channels and that is on one of them daily, although the only channels I think are watchable are PBS (2 stations), Create, and NHK.

Don't get me started on the things that he scares (the jokes....)

 

[Elysian]

Eek! I am excited for you!
The bad pet shop guy tried to talk to me into a Cherry Head baby he had, but I thought if I'm going to go conure I will wait for the more personal breeder who has Blue Crowns.

Although I'm having trouble really comparing Blue Crowns and Cherry Heads, except by color.. is the Cherry Head bigger??

I'm so jealous I have ANOTHER new bird cage .. (now I have three) but still only the two birds lmao.
Gotta wait for the puppy to be potty trained though so I can hole up in my bird room and ignore him once in awhile.

You'll get there! Don't get talked into a bird you really aren't excited about. There are going to be plenty of Blue Crowns out there for you to love I'm afraid I don't know the size difference between Cherry Headed and Blue Crowned .

It won't be long before that sweet pup is all grown up!

 

[Kassiani]

OK, so name...

The little bird's name is Rocky. Nothing personal against those that love the movies (I really like them, too), but I really don't like that name for this sweet little man!

To give credit where credit is due, I have to thank @faislaq for the idea of this name. You see, this little guy is originally from North Carolina, and, well, he has a red head. The Andy Griffith show was set in the fictional town of Mayberry, North Carolina. So, a red headed boy from North Carolina must be Opi!

I just picked a red-headed name out if the air. I never knew all that about the show, or about this fella for that matter! How perfect!


Do you think your future grey will be named Grayson? If so, I'm batting 1000!
