Name that budgie! (hell)

[emmaleebee]

Her coloring makes me think of lemon/lime sherbet so my first suggestion would be "Sherbet" or "Sherbie", but does that have too much of a hissing sound? you could take off the s and just call her "Herbbie"--I think that's cute (even though it's a she). Another suggestion is "Limon" (lemon and lime combined).

I also like Ceridwen's suggestion of "Loki". I am assuming that is pronounced "low-kee" ?

Good luck and have fun!

And thanks Ceridwen... I think she's beautiful too, but I may be biased.

There's Psittacosis, but thats not a huge risk unless you're respiratory system is already compromised to an extent.
I had a Galah called Chuckles at one point...I was teaching her to laugh like Felix the Cat, but unfortunately she had a stroke and died.
I also had a blue budgie at my dad's place, which I called Brick. Partially because he couldn't fly and partially because - coupled with that disability - he was as dumb as one. He used to climb up the curtains and furniture, get on the kitchen bench or a table, and then run as fast as his little budgie legs would carry him until he got to the edge and fell off. Not too bright, that budgie.

Oooh, I love galahs! Well, I love cockatoos in general. So loving I'd never trust myself with one, though... I'd hate myself if s/he started plucking because of something I did.

Aaand I ended up on deciding that Pandora suits her best Now that she's calmed down more, I got some better pictures, too!

Oops.. I thought editing my first entry would show that I added stuff on the forum page--guess not. At any rate, new pictures at the top!

She is sweet, I love budgies........at one time a girl-friend of mine and I decided to put up an aviary in her parent's back garden (wit her Mum's permission, of course) - it was very large, and we had about thirty odd in there. Whe she ditched me, she kept the birds........

I adore the markings on her chest. They just look awesome to me
"Ooo, a window!"

Hey guys! Yesterday I got a budgie (also called a parakeet in the US), and I'm having the worst time naming her. You guys think you could help me out here? (These pictures aren't the best since she's in her cage, but I can't have her out yet since she's still adjusting to her new home)

The only kind of names I'm actively trying to avoid are names with hissing sounds in them... they can scare budgies, since their natural predators hiss.

Maybe "Sky"? Perhaps maybe if she had more blue...

Michel: That's awful I hope she took good care of them... I hate it when pets are seperated from their people.

Cynic: Oops, I forgot to edit the first post to reflect I'd already named her Pandora... I'll go do that now.
