04/17/2019 An important event is choosing a name for the bird. From this moment the acquaintance with the pet begins, so there is no need to rush, but think everything over carefully. The name for a parrot should be such that it is easy and pleasant for perception by humans and birds.

How to choose a name: general tips

Naming a parrot is not so easy. The name helps build a relationship with your pet. It often happens that the nickname chosen in absentia in reality does not suit the bird. For example, I wanted to bring Ulyana into the house, but it turned out that it was Monica.

Tips to help you make the right choice:

• It is undesirable to name your pet after relatives and friends. They may be offended when they find out.
• The nickname for parrots should not overlap with those that other pets already have (Tail - Barbos). The feathered one will be confused; he does not always distinguish the subtleties of pronunciation. The names for the finches sitting in the next cage and the wavy birds should be completely different.
• For a parrot to easily get used to its nickname, it needs to be pronounced as often as possible, with emotion and clearly.
• Traditionally formed paired names will solve the problem when there are a couple of birds in the house: Othello and Desdemona, Onegin and Tatyana.

Names for parrots that indicate character are not the best solution, since the bird, upon closer examination, may turn out to be completely different. For example, Grumpy will be an easy-going and unobtrusive bird. If the parrot has difficulty accepting human speech, the nickname should be as short and sonorous as possible, for example, Rem, Domain.

When it is impossible to accurately determine the gender, it is better to choose universal names: Pronto, Chucha, Grammy. The parrot may not perceive complex double names and will not pronounce them in the future. And people will begin to shorten this name.

Important advice: when thinking about what to name a bird, you need to take into account how the nickname sounds in an endearing version.

Simple or sonorous

Every owner wants to choose an original nickname for his pet, which would not be found in anyone else. It is not recommended to choose complex, difficult to pronounce names. Nicknames like Richard the King or Marie Louise are not very suitable for a pet parrot, since children and the bird itself are unlikely to be able to repeat this.

The owner most likely will not want to use the hackneyed nicknames Kesha, Popka for lovebirds. Traditionally, a parrot's name includes sounds that it is able to repeat. These are mainly sibilants and “R”. It should also contain vowel sounds that the bird likes to chant. Consonants such as “m”, “n”, “k” are difficult for a parrot to repeat, so it is not advisable to use them.

In this case, you need to find out what their other admirers call parrots, including lovebirds. The boy can be called Arkasha, Archie, Grisha. Girl - Asya, Glasha, Sheri.

Nicknames for male parrots

It’s easy to choose the names of boy parrots if you say them out loud and at the same time look at the pet’s reaction:

• Apricotik, Albert, Ara, Aron, Arkady, Afonya.

• Elvis, Eric, Ashley.
• Yudik, Yuzhin, Yuliy, Yunga.
• Yanik, Yarilo, Yarun, Yashka.

When thinking about what name to give a parrot, you need to take into account its size. For a cockatoo, Squishy looks disrespectful. Richard, Damir, Titan are suitable for a large male.

Bird names. The agony of choice

A cheerful and playful name will amuse not only the owners of the lovebird, but also the guests who come to the house.
Good names for females would be the following options: “Busya”, “Zara”, “Desi”, “Chika”, “Suzy”, “Christy”, “Raya”, “Shura”, “Chara”, and possibly “Clarissa”. For boy parrots, the following are suitable: “Chuk”, “Rik”, “Sir”, “Kars”, “Roma”, “Gosha”, “Gesha”, and also “Carlos”.

Original nicknames for lovebirds may echo the southern flavor of their habitats. Or they can be simple and homemade options. A simple nickname will help in training your pet. And it will be the first word that he can utter.

When you manage to get a lovebird to talk using its nickname, other exercises will become better absorbed in the bird's brain. The nickname is very important, both for communication with the parrot and for its self-determination.

Sometimes it is quite difficult to determine the sex of a maturing chick. Even experienced biologists make mistakes in this matter. To solve the problem, you can choose a neutral nickname suitable for any sex of the lovebird. Examples are the following options: “Jerry”, “Sasha”, “Bijou”, “Girsa”, “Pani”, “Tarri”, and other nicknames that have a double meaning.

Love for a pet does not begin with a name, but the name carries a certain meaning. And the nickname that the owners like will delight them for many years. To choose a nickname, entire family councils are assembled. It is a pity that the parrots themselves cannot speak out on this matter.

There are really beautiful names for girls. Females learn to speak more slowly. If you choose a sonorous, easy word, the process will go faster.

What do you call a pair of birds?

Names for a boy and a girl living together should be perceived differently based on the set of sounds. If you do not take this into account, it will be difficult for birds to distinguish their nickname.

There are popular duet names:

• Othello and Desdemona;
• Cruz and Eden;
• Ken and Barbie.
• Marquis and Milady;
• Bonnie and Clyde;
• Orpheus and Eurydice;
• Tatiana and Onegin;
• Sultan and Roksolana;

Based on this principle, it is not at all necessary to choose a nickname. You can simply take a list of names for parrots and choose ones that sound different but go well together:

• Tommy and Gretta;
• Fedya and Monya;
• Venya and Lyalya;
• Doric and Zhizha.

If you want to give the female the nickname Georgette, the male must be at least Dormidont. There can be a lot of variations. Nicknames must be said out loud to understand how they sound next to each other. The combination of Kuzi and Milady, Caesar and Glasha is unsuccessful for Corella parrots.

Nicknames invented by children

Kids love to name their pet as the hero of a popular cartoon, fairy tale, or comic book.

Nowadays you can find a parrot with the following nicknames:

• Krosh;
• Nyusha;
• Batman;
• Kopatych;
• Barbie;
• Cindy;
• Luntik;
• Shrek.

There is nothing wrong with this, the main thing is that the lovebird’s nickname is liked by all household members and is easy to pronounce for the bird.

Nicknames for different breeds

The vocal apparatus of different breeds does not work the same. Names for budgerigars are chosen taking into account the fact that birds cope with hissing consonants and vowels “i”, “a”, “u”, “e”. Pronunciation of the sounds “z”, “s” and “ts” is difficult for them. The consonants “l”, “m” and “n” are taboo for many. Wavy girls will like Masha, Yesha, Tisha, Shelly, Shusha. Arkasha, Boshik, Zhorik are suitable for guys with waves.

The names for lovebirds are chosen to be cheerful and light: Bonnie, Maggie, Santik, Lyolik. Cockatiels respond well to training when they find emotional contact with their owner. Norma, Milady, Chara Rosita are suitable for female cockatiels. The name for a boy cockatiel can be Caesar, Marquis, Odin, Rudik.

Large, intelligent parrots are capable of learning complex combinations, so you can choose a beautiful and unusual nickname: Madagascar, Aphrodite, Panteleimon, Cleopatra.

Choosing a beautiful name for a lovebird

Read in this article
There is a beautiful myth about lovebirds. According to legend, these birds have great empathy. And if one dies, then the second will certainly die from unbearable longing for a partner. This legend has not received direct scientific confirmation. But interest in these birds does not fade away even today.

Lovebirds are native to Madagascar. Their halo also extends to Africa and the islands closest to it. Like all tropical birds, this type of parrot has beautiful bright plumage. They live in pairs, both in freedom and in captivity. Lovebirds have long been kept in cages as pets. They are able to reproduce at home, “sing” well and are very attached to the one who feeds them from the moment of birth.

Birds that are pleasant in all respects can live alone in a cage. But they do not get along well in large groups and often start fights and conflicts. If you have become the happy owner of this species, then a reasonable question arises: “what to call lovebirds?” Let's look at these nuances in more detail.

Creative names

If you name your pet by association with characters from films or books, you will get an interesting nickname:

• Batman.
• Holmes.
• Poirot.
• Stirlitz.
• Silver.
• Cleopatra.
• Dobrynya.
• Casanova.
• Koschey.
• Roksolana.
• Cinderella.

Cool names speak about the owner’s sense of humor:

• Fox.
• Shrimp.
• Porsche.
• Jester.
• Ferrari.
• Shashlik.
• Sauce.
• Cake.
• Kettle.
• Socket.
• Dowel.
• Robinson.
• Millionaire.

A parrot's nickname turns out to be extravagant if it is taken from the names of famous musical groups and singers: Boniem, Na-Na, Jackson, Smokey.

For creative people

Often people associated with one or another creative profession name a bird after their favorite actor or singer: Celentano, Björk, Jackson, Naomi, Madonna, Nicholas, Tom, Phil. This is also possible, the main thing is that the word is simple and easy to pronounce for humans and birds. You should not give double and complex names like Mary Poppins, John-Carlos, and so on. Over time, the bird will learn to pronounce a long word, but then it will not respond to the shortened version, and in everyday life the short form will most likely be used.
