Names for budgies boys and girls

Every pet parrot should have its own name. However, it is not always easy to come up with a nickname that suits him. After all, you want the name to be sonorous, unusual and at the same time emphasize the characteristics of the bird.

So, if your parrot is a talking one, then you should choose a “speaking” name for it, which reflects the character of the bird, indicates a bright appearance and funny habits.

You should not choose a nickname for your future feathered pet before purchasing or immediately upon arriving home. You need to get to know your new friend better in order to then give him the name that suits the bird most. After all, a nickname is given for life, and renaming is not recommended. Even if you purchased a parrot from another owner, you should keep the old name, since changing a name is a lot of stress for a parrot.

What else can you call a wavy?

Budgerigars are often named after famous political figures: Zhirik, Putya, Yanych, Lenin, Stalin. If your parrot has a steely character and sometimes terrorizes you with his morning screams, then this nickname is quite suitable for him.

For girls, Margaret is suitable, in honor of the great Margaret Thatcher, Cleopatra, Jeanne, remembering the courageous Joan of Arc, Lisa, in honor of Queen Elizabeth.

Budgerigars and simply cool names are suitable for boys: Chacha, Bob, Cookie, Chappie, Pinky.

Finally, I would like to note that when teaching your feathered friend his nickname, remember about censorship. Parakeets very often decide to speak at the worst possible moment, and a swear word can be uttered at the best time. Therefore, choose your nickname wisely and remember that it will last for a long time.

We wish you a good choice!

Bird size matters

It is customary to give pretentious nicknames to large breeds of parrots: Arnold, Edward, Marquis, Viking. If it is difficult for a bird to pronounce such a complex word, then it can be replaced with a simple, short one, which is given to small breeds of parrots: Gosha, Kesha, Tisha, Tima, Kai. They are generally applicable and suitable for any type of bird.

Regardless of what the owner names his pet, the bird will respond primarily to love and care. The one who cares for and feeds her will respond. The choice of a nickname for a pet should be discussed at a family council and an option should be found that will suit all family members, and, most importantly, the parrot itself.

Female names for cockatiels

For a Corella girl, it is better to choose some cute and non-aggressive name.

Homely and cozy: Zhuzha, Tisha, Dusya, Klyopa, Marquise, Alisha, Berta, Vaksa, Gratsia, Daphne;

What can you call a girl parrot?

The most important factor that cannot be ignored when choosing a nickname is whether it is planned to teach him how to pronounce certain words. Choosing a name for a girl parrot that consists of difficult-to-pronounce syllables is a sure way to the fact that the bird will never learn to speak. When choosing, you need to take into account such nuances as:

Simplicity and accessibility of the nickname. It should be understandable to all family members - for example, so that children also have the opportunity to learn it with the bird.
Uniqueness. It should not sound the same as the names of household members.
Voicedness and the presence of vowels or hissing letters. Gosha, Petya, Pasha are good options for a pet of any breed.

Recommendations for choosing a name for a winged resident

Of course, you may not even think about what to name your parrot if it is not of fundamental importance to you. We offer interesting options, but it is, of course, up to you to decide. If you find it difficult to decide, then our advice can help you with your choice.

There are several principles by which names for a parrot are chosen.

Convenience. Wavy himself should be able to pronounce his name easily.
The nickname should please you and the pet itself.

When choosing a nickname for your wavy, consider the following points:

The gender of the parrot, because it is known that boys have better ability to remember and, accordingly, reproduce. Girls, on the contrary, are more silent. Therefore, it is better for boys to choose a simpler name, but for a girl it can be a little more complicated. But if you doubt the gender of your bird, then you can give him a neutral name.
Character. Budgerigar chicks begin to show their temperament from the very first days in their new home. But if you are not sure, then you can wait a little with the name and come up with a suitable nickname over time.
The size of the bird and its plumage color. For example, large boys can be called Arnold, Maxi, Jupiter, and small birds Kid, Pencil, Zipper.
We do not recommend that you use the names of relatives, as they may not correctly perceive such a “gesture of respect.”
Long names may seem very beautiful and unusual to you. But your wavy dog may not perceive it well, will not want to pronounce it and will not respond to its nickname.

Rule #1

According to research, it is much easier for parrots to pronounce their name, which is built on hissing sounds and the letters “ch”, “k”.

Nicknames containing the letter “r” are also liked by almost all parrots.

Rule #2

Considering that “talkers” recite their names, you also need to pay attention to the vowel sounds that are included in their names. For example, the simple name Ksyusha - a parrot will pronounce it something like this: “Ksyu-yu-yu-yu-yusha”

For example, the simple name Ksyusha - a parrot will pronounce it something like this: “Ksyu-yu-yu-yu-yusha.”

Rule #3

Of course, you can teach your “talking” pet such sounds, but this will take at least several years.

Do you really want your budgie to unlearn its timing after such a long period of time?

Rule #4

Fans of original names, like Merry Poppins, need to think about the fact that a double combination of words can cause parrots some difficulties not only in pronunciation, but also in perception. It’s easy to name, but not so easy to learn.

Many ornithologists argue that most birds, which have already become accustomed to their double names, are not able to respond to any part of the nickname that sounds separately.

Rule #5

When giving a parrot a female or male name, you need to make sure of its gender. However, this is very difficult to do, especially since there are types of budgerigars that have virtually no signs of gender.

Of course, you can go to a specialized veterinary clinic, where qualified veterinarians will conduct research to determine the sex of the bird using DNA.

However, not every owner of a feathered friend is ready to shell out a fabulous amount of money for such examinations. But you can choose a simpler way - call it another nickname.

Rule #6

Such similarity will cause doubts in the parrot, it will get confused and, in the end, will remember its name incorrectly.

Rule #7

It is worth noting that choosing a name for a parrot is only half the battle. The second component is the successful memorization of the name by the bird itself.

You need to talk to the parrot constantly, trying to pronounce its nickname smoothly, in a gentle and calm voice.

Only such training can guarantee a quick and high-quality result, because a name pronounced in this way cannot cause a feeling of fear and danger in the pet.

Rule #8

Repetition is the mother of learning. This saying is also good for teaching a parrot its name. Try not to miss the opportunity and pronounce your pet's nickname in different expressions and sentences.

If you follow these recommendations, your parrot will quickly get used to its name. Having taken a liking to it, the pet will begin to chatter all its free time, that is, always.

How to choose a name for a parrot

If you buy a bird at an early age and without a name, then you should use your imagination and take into account some points. Remember that on average small parrots live 8-15 years, and larger parrots live up to 50 years. Therefore, you need to choose a sonorous name that will not annoy you.

What to look for when choosing a name:

Gender of the parrot
Parrot size
Ability to speak
Parrot species
Features of behavior
External signs, plumage color
Reaction.

It is important to choose a name according to the gender of the individual. Agree, a boy named Asya sounds pretty stupid

But in some species of parrots, sexual dimorphism is weakly expressed. By the age of 1 year, sexual differences begin to appear more clearly, and then it becomes clear whether it is a male or a female.

But keeping a parrot without a name for a whole year is quite problematic, especially if you communicate and pay attention to it every day

In this case, it is worth choosing a universal, neutral name that will suit both a boy and a girl. For example, Bonya, Zhenya. You can also later replace it with a consonant name, or add letters. For example, replace Nick with Nikas.

If there are children in the family, you should take the choice of name more seriously. Children will play with the parrot and repeat its name often. If it is awkward or not sonorous, it can begin to irritate. Also, in a family with children, you need to choose a simple name that the children can pronounce. If the parrot's name is difficult to pronounce, children will begin to distort the sounds, and this is how the parrot will remember the name.

If you come up with a name for the parrot, agree on it with all family members. Perhaps someone may not like it and they will give their own nickname to the parrot.

When choosing a name, choose simple words with 2-3 syllables. A parrot may not be able to understand a longer name or may not be able to pronounce it.

As soon as you bring the parrot into the house, let it get used to the new environment and get comfortable. Then you need to establish contact and tame the bird in your hands

Observe its behavior, consider the color of the plumage, pay attention to the parrot’s reaction. Depending on its behavior and characteristics, you can choose a name for the parrot

For example, a large and important cockatoo with a majestic look and posture is more suitable for the names Zeus, Hephes or Caesar. And the names Kiryusha, Romka, Almazik are more suitable for active parrots with a playful character

Looking for a suitable name

Finding an original name is not difficult. Use your imagination. Maybe you are interested in something? Then look for a name in an area you are familiar with.

Astronomy: Hydra, Orion, Cepheus, Octantus, Sirius, Neptune, Jupiter, Chiron, Pholus, Nessus, Oort.

Music: Avlos, Viola, Ashiko, Bambir, Bayan, Bongo, Hooter, Mole, Lali, Pungi, Horn, Stick, Tar, Tres, Hang, Zither, Shen.

Mythology: Aurora, Argus, Boreas, Zephyr, Morpheus, Nectar, Neptune, Paris, Pegasus, Perun, Phoebus, Flora.

Geography: Accra, Amman, Peru, Chile, Bali, Komi, Cairo, Cyprus, Crete, Vienna, Chad, Chile, Lima, Lome, Burma, Bhutan, Baku, Bangui.

Choosing names for boys parrots

There are also tips for choosing names for boy parrots:

Thus, there are a lot of parrot nicknames for both boys and girls. The main thing is to follow the recommendations, take into account the breed of the pet and its ability to speak

. And of course, the nickname should please all the people who will live with the parrot.

What to name a boy's parrot? This matter has its own subtleties that need to be taken into account. Many of us want to call the boy's budgerigar beautiful names.

The nickname should be one that you personally like, and the bird will be able to pronounce it freely.

It is necessary to call your feathered friends with short, sonorous names, in which the hard letter R is often used.

Such a nickname can not only become a beautiful nickname for a feathered friend, but will also allow him to speak faster and learn to pronounce his name. The most suitable: Patrick, Gavrik, Lavrik, Rafik, Renat, Ray, Radik, etc.

They begin to talk earlier than girls, and males are very capable of learning.

When choosing a nickname, preference should be given to clear and short ones. This will allow the bird to quickly remember its nickname and pronounce it regularly. You can call the boy's parrot Gosh, Gog, Kesha, Zhora, Gora, Tosha, these nicknames are very soft to pronounce and are easy to reproduce. Fans of original nicknames can offer the following options: Kiryusha, Kerry, Heinrich, Ludwig, Marquis, Oscar, Philip, etc. The bird itself will like such nicknames, since they are very proud, affectionate and beautiful.

When choosing a nickname, be sure to monitor the reaction of the bird.

To do this, write down in advance on a piece of paper the nicknames that you like best. Go to the cage with your feathered friend and take him out.

Place it on your hand or table, and then slowly begin to say each nickname from a piece of paper. At the same time, you should observe the reaction of the boy's budgie. You must pronounce nicknames very clearly, trying to pronounce every letter. Try to do this experiment several times, while observing your pet's reaction. Perhaps the budgie boy simply didn’t understand what you were saying the first time, so try to do this several times.

The name that he likes more than others will cause a response in him. He will start flapping his wings, turning his head and looking at you. Remember this option, because it will be the most suitable nickname for your feathered friend.

Favorite letters and sounds

When choosing a name for a budgerigar, keep in mind that not all sounds can be easily pronounced by the bird.

Particular favorites for parrots are:

consonant letters “p”, “ch”, “sh”, “d”, “g”, “f”, “zh”, “k”, “sch”, “p”;
vowels “i”, “a”, “e”, “e”.

If you don't care whether your pet talks or not, you can choose a name for him that contains your less favorite ones:

consonant letters “m”, “ts”, “l”, “n”, “s”, “z”;
vowels “o”, “ya”, “yu”, “u”, “e”.

Important! Choose names for budgies that do not contain a soft sign, especially in the middle of the name. It will be very difficult to pronounce such a nickname.

What to name a boy budgie. What to name a boy budgie

You bought a budgie and are wondering what to name your new pet. First you need to find out what gender he is. If the bird is older than 3 months, then this is very easy to do, since young parrots gradually change the color of their beak. In an adult bird its color is already more saturated. In females, the beak color is grayish-white or brown, while in males it is bright blue.

Instructions

The older your pet is, the smarter and more vulnerable it is, the more difficult it is to tolerate separation and get used to a new place. When choosing a nickname, start from the fact that it is easier for parrots to pronounce whistling, hissing, growling sounds. Choose a short name that will appeal to all family members. Nick, Fritz, Bruce, Dick, Boy, Hera, Gigi, Kuzya, Kesha, Mitya, Tima, Fedya, Yasha, Gosha - these are simpler names, suitable for a parrot of any size and color.

Tishka, Kopusha, Motley, Shurshun, Shalun - your pets will like these funny nicknames because they themselves will be able to pronounce them. Remember that choosing a name is not an easy matter. You will have to constantly use this name, and the bird will respond to it

Please note that parrots easily reproduce words with hissing sounds, as well as the letters “k”, “r”, “a”, “u”. You can choose a nickname after your favorite movie character, for example, Robinson, Tarzan, Captain, Caesar, Martin, Figaro

The name of the bird can emphasize some of its features. Nicknames such as Arnold, Sylvester, Felix, Ronaldo, Aragorn, Aristarchus, Jackson, Napoleon, Nikusha, Ricardo, Rubik, Fidel, Churchill, Eugene are suitable for medium and large parrots, but it will be difficult for the bird to reproduce such a name. It is suitable for a male who is able to speak faster than a female.

Alex, Borya, Kuzya, Chick, Yusha, Chucha, Ollie, Motya, Coco, Zheka, Hedgehog, Bonya, Ara - these short nicknames will appeal not only to you and the children, but to the parrot, he will quickly get used to such a nickname. Remember that you should not call the bird a nickname; everyone should have their own.

Helpful advice

Whatever name you choose, remember that you should start training with your bird only after it already trusts you, that is, it begins to sit on your finger. Practice with her for 30 minutes, every day, if possible at the same time. A bird can speak within a couple of days or after a few weeks. Some parrots are so capable that they can learn up to 1000 words.

Geographical, historical, botanical names

When choosing names for lovebirds, you should rely on the names of geographical places and favorite flowers, historical heroes. These nicknames sound good:

America;
Lotus;
Maple;
Pamir;
North;
Dune;
Rose;
Pharaoh;
Hercules;
Cleo.

These nicknames are short and succinct; they are easy to pronounce for both children and birds. They will be used in everyday life without abbreviations, in the form in which they are given. It will not be difficult for a bird to learn them in a short time.

Nicknames for talking parrots

Finding a beautiful name for talking parrots is a little more difficult. This is explained by the peculiarities of the speech of these birds. So, they do not pronounce the letters “l”, “m” and “n”.

Rules for choosing a name for talking breeds:

The word must contain hissing and whistling sounds. You can use the letters “r”, “w”, “s”, “z”, “zh”.
If a word has many vowels, the bird will recite it.
The name must consist of one word. The bird will not remember double options.
If you replace the nickname that the parrot is used to with a diminutive version, the bird will not respond to it.
You should not call the bird the same as family members. Subsequently, the parrot will not understand that they are addressing him specifically.

Basically, talking parrots remember their names quite quickly, and over time they begin to pronounce their nickname on their own. The main thing is to create comfortable conditions for him. If the bird likes the place in which it lives, the process of learning and adaptation will go faster. Do you know how to teach a parrot to talk?

Simple nicknames for talking parrot boys:

iPhone;
Gosha;
Yasha;
Grisha;
Pierre;
Alex;
Max;
Vasya;
Charlie;
Fidel;
Pushkin;
Houston.

If a bird is slow to learn pronunciation or imitates sounds in its own way, you should not get upset and force it to speak the way you want. Moreover, it is absolutely forbidden to hit her.

What sounds are suitable for a name?

The most important requirement for a name for a parrot is ease of pronunciation. The bird first remembers this word and highlights it by ear. The next step is the ability to respond. When the pet masters it, it can begin to reproduce the name on its own.

Having set the task of teaching a parrot to pronounce its nickname, the owner must be patient. The pet will not speak immediately. Moreover, the easier it is for him to pronounce the word, the faster this will happen. It should be taken into account which sounds birds cope with without difficulty, and which ones can become a stumbling block on the way to reproducing human speech

Important: cockatiels and other capable birds can imitate any sounds. They do not find it difficult to reproduce words. Even fancy nicknames are suitable for them.

Features of choice

When choosing a name for your winged pet, you should take into account the fact that over time the bird may start talking. This means that it should be easy to pronounce. When choosing a nickname for a male parrot, it is recommended to listen to a number of recommendations.

The nickname should not be long, but parrots easily perceive clear and clear sounds. Birds especially love words with the letter “R”. The most popular short names that include growling sounds are Garik, Marik, Patrick.
Names that have the sounds “K” and “Ch” are suitable. Parrots easily remember and pronounce them. This category includes the names Casper, Chizhik, Charlie.
Some breeds, for example, macaws, prefer to pronounce words with long vowels, so the options Korzhik, Kesha, Kerry, Henry are suitable for them.
There are varieties of birds that find it difficult to pronounce the whistling sounds “C”, “Z”, “S”, and the letters “L”, “M”, “N” also cause difficulties, so if possible, try to avoid names with these sounds.

Parrots usually remember their names quite quickly. If an adult bird is purchased from another owner, it is not recommended to rename it - the parrot will have difficulty accepting the new nickname. To help your pet remember its name better, you need to repeat this word every day many times in a calm voice. As soon as the parrot appears in the house, in the first days it does not feel safe, so you should talk to it kindly. Feeling the warmth in the voice of the new owner, the male will become bolder and gradually begin to engage in conversation, repeating his name.

As a rule, a pet may be dissatisfied with a nickname if it is too long and has sounds that are difficult to pronounce. In this case, the bird will shorten its name or pronounce it in a different way. For example, instead of the complex name Aureliano, you might end up with something like Ariano.

Simple communication

The nickname is the basis of your communication with your lovebird. You will use it everywhere: when talking, while playing or training. The shorter the nickname, the easier it is to pronounce.

If you plan to teach your parrot to speak, then the name will be its first word. Lovebirds have a hard time with human speech. It’s good if the name contains those sounds that are easier for the bird to pronounce:

The consonants “k”, “g”, “d”, “f” are also suitable. The parrot will quickly remember a nickname consisting of a maximum of six letters. Pronounce your lovebird's name clearly, slowly, with emotion, and gradually he will begin to respond to it. If you are not going to teach the bird words, then its nickname can contain any sounds.

In any case, you need to pronounce the lovebird’s name in a calm and gentle voice. This way the pet will get used to it faster. The parrot perceives sharp and loud intonation as a threat.

Choosing a nickname for a feathered pet

A new pet has appeared in your family, and you just can’t decide on a name. Of course, this is not an easy task, because parrots live not a year or two, but more than 10 years. You must approach the choice of nickname with all responsibility so that a true friend appears in your life. The name of the parrot must also be given taking into account its vocal characteristics, so that it will soon learn to pronounce its nickname. Various names for boy parrots and names for girl parrots can be found further in the table.

General recommendations

Often, owners of birds choose nicknames for them without thinking about those around them. Think carefully about what to name your parrot. You should not choose an obscene or abusive name for a friend, so that he does not suddenly shout out his nickname, for example, in front of children. It’s better to give cool names that, on the contrary, can cheer you and your guests up. A non-speaking parrot can be called anything you like, but a speaking one should be given a special name. Long nicknames are difficult for parrots to pronounce; you will have to work with your pet to teach him to pronounce his name correctly and beautifully.

The hissing sounds, “ch”, “k”, “sh” are best mastered by parrots. Birds also like the growling sound “r”; they easily learn to pronounce nicknames containing this sound.

Much attention should be paid to vowel sounds. Parrots pronounce words melodiously, that is, they draw out the vowels “Go-o-osha”

Parrots have difficulty pronouncing sonorant consonants: “n”, “l”, “m”. Some species have difficulty pronouncing sounds such as “s”, “z” and “ts”. Of course, after long and hard training, the parrot will be able to pronounce them. But don’t you want your pet to be screaming its name after the first lessons?

Sometimes parrots are given double names, for example, Mickey Mouse, Merry Poppins, Sherlock Holmes. When giving such a nickname to a bird, be prepared that the bird will only respond to its full name. It is unlikely that you will be able to accustom your parrot to its abbreviated nickname. Choose a name that is convenient for both your pronunciation and your pet’s pronunciation.

A parrot can be called:

by the name of your favorite movie character: Terminator, Shrek, Stirlitz, Rocky, Zhiglov, Ricci, Rassomakha;
by the name of a literary character: Azazzelo, Holmes, Watson, Gulliver, Lannister, Lolita;
by name or surname of famous people: Sentra, Putin, Kalashnikov, Pugacheva, Kobzon, Tyson, Twain, Pushkin, Murphy, Kutuzov, Rokossovsky.

Take a closer look at your parrot, maybe some features are noticeable in its appearance or behavior... So name it based on its features: Zipper, Whirlwind, Storm, Tenderness...

Most often, it is very difficult to determine the sex of parrots; not even every experienced ornithologist will be able to identify a male or female at first glance. Therefore, you can choose a neutral name for the bird, so to speak, unisex. Often they buy a couple of parrots at once, so the question arises of what to name a boy’s parrot, and what to name a girl’s parrot.

A successful choice of a nickname for a bird does not guarantee that it will be instantly learned. You need to exercise your pet for at least a few minutes every day. The nickname must be pronounced affectionately, gently, in a loving voice. Over time, the bird will get used to its name and will try to repeat it. Don’t scold your pet if he doesn’t succeed, because everything needs to be learned. After the parrot has mastered the name, it will begin to learn other simple words and then form phrases. Females are more suggestible in terms of learning.

Humor can be different

To cheer up those around you, you can choose a funny name for your lovebird. All kinds of Skodas, Scamps, Donuts or Grumps can make you smile. Especially if the bird confirms its nickname by its character or habits. But in humor there are boundaries that are best not to be crossed.

Calling a parrot an obscene or abusive name will not make the world a more fun place. Rather, on the contrary, you will ruin the opinion of others about you. Think about yourself, as well as your family and friends - not all of them will appreciate your creativity. A lovebird doesn't care what you call it, but respect for your pet is the first step towards mutual understanding.
