Community spotlight: Real bird names and their stories
I would like to share my story with you as a bird owner. I live with my husband at home. There was no one else except me and my husband. When he went to the office for work. I was completely exhausted. So, my husband thought he would bring some birds home. My husband came to pick out a bird from a bird shop. He picked up a green parrot, having beautiful feathers and he was small in size, very talkative, and a great copycat. So, finally someone was there to entertain me. After he settled at our home, we decided to select a name for him. So, we started observing his personality. My bird had a charming and playful personality So, we made a list of different names like lulu, tiki, Pippa, bingo. It was difficult to decide one of the names from it. So, I decided to call out these names. At first I called him lulu but he was not interested because he didn’t respond to me and to my orders after that I called him tiki, he was also not responding me I was little surprised and got tensed but my husband calmed me down. After that I called him Pippa but he was not responding. Then I decided to give him some time so he could try to respond to his name I also trained him, After a week, I randomly called him Bingo, sit down and he sat down I was surprised and told my husband. We were very excited now because at first he doesn’t responded us but this time he showed love towards us and his name bingo.
Conclusion: The joy of Naming your feathered friend
For strengthening your bond with your bird and to show them their importance in your life then giving them is very important.
Don’t rush into choosing a name for your bird. Observe your bird personality and then give them a specific name. If the selected name does not give you any response, then don’t worry about that wait for a few days your pet will give a response to you. It does not matter which name you select for your bird. The important thing is to give them love and respect.
