How to Choose a Good Parrot Name?
When you have decided to get a parrot as a pet, you have probably thought about some suggestions for parrot names.
Knowing that a great number of parrots are long living creatures, the name you choose will be the one you and your bird will be listening to for quite some time. Besides the regular male-female division, there are many ways to help you make the right decision.
One way to help choose a good parrot name may be the parrot’s physical features.
Look at the feather colors, head and beak shape, its tail and overall appearance. Search for some unique feature on your bird that may help you select its name.
When choosing a parrot name, it can be your bird’s character and behavior that helps you pick its name. Also the type of parrot will determine if it is a sociable, playful, and cheerful bird, so the name should reflect that.
Look at your pet while they eat and pay attention to their behavior or try to see if there is anything special they do while playing.
All these situations can be inspirational.
The Art of Naming A Pet Parrot
The sound birds produce, mimicking and talking, chirping or whatever else can be useful features when looking for pet bird names. Also, look for the inspiration in celebrity bird names, maybe some of them may be suitable for your bird as well!
All in all, besides representing your bird at its best, the name should be practical.
Here’s what we mean by that!
Do not choose the name which is too long! And never choose a name that sounds like a command, or you may confuse your bird.
The same goes for names similar to your other pets names (if you have more than one pet) or the names and nicknames that are the same as family members.
We already mentioned parrots have a long lifespan, hence choose a name which won’t become an old-fashioned one. These rules are the same as the ones to follow when choosing a name for a dog or a cat.
