Depending on the breed of the parrot that will live in your house, the nickname for the bird is also selected. The traditions here are extremely simple, and usually the names of parrots grow along with their sizes. If the nickname Kesha is very appropriate for a budgie, then the majestic red-tailed macaw with this name will cause only amazement. Nevertheless, the names of the parrots should be selected according to several rules, and the first one says that you should not make the bird namesake of any of your relatives or friends. Firstly, you can offend someone who turned out to be your parrot namesake through your efforts, and secondly, the bird will be perplexed to respond to the name when you do not contact it.
The names of male parrots can be selected from a rich arsenal of foreign names, the main thing is that in the combination of sounds there are hissing and growling sounds. This is especially true for those cases when you hope that the bird learns to speak its own name. The linguistic abilities of these glorious birds are large enough to learn almost any name, even if it consists of sounds that are not very convenient for pronunciation. However, don’t choose too long names; it’s just harder for birds to remember them. Two or three syllables will be quite enough, and pronouncing a short name for the bird will be easier.
The names of the parrots of the females are selected according to the same principle as the nicknames for males, unless they clearly express their gender. If you doubt the field of the acquired bird, then it is quite possible to pick up a neutral nickname. That is, in this case, the names of the parrots are selected deliberately asexual, for example, Chilly - it is difficult to say what kind of creature that bears such a name. The birds themselves are absolutely not going to complex about the nickname, and even if you call the female parrot Fedor Ivanovich, she is unlikely to be offended.
There is another unspoken rule that all owners of poultry or animals try to follow: it is not customary to call pets by the name of his deceased predecessor. The nicknames of animals or the names of parrots are diverse enough to choose a completely new name for the pet that is not associated with the previous bird. It is believed that fate is inherited with the name, but even this is not the main thing. The function of pets is to bring joy to their owners, bright positive emotions. If you loved the predecessor of this new bird, you are unlikely to calmly react to the fact that you pronounce this name again. If there are children in the house, then it will also be difficult for them - the children generally suffer the loss of pets at all. Do not heat up the atmosphere in the house if you just do not have the imagination to choose a nickname for a feathered companion.
I would especially like to note the names of parrots intended for breeding and breeding. In this case, the name should be taken doubly seriously. Documents, exhibitions, the family tree of the chicks, all this plays a role, and the larger and more expensive the bird, the more difficult it is to breed in captivity, the more important the name. If budgerigars breed without any special problems, and all pet stores are literally crammed with colorful birds, then such serious birds as Amazons, Jaco or Macaw are much more difficult to breed. Connoisseurs of the breed have all the specimens of rare birds by ear, and a sonorous name will increase the recognition of your bird among connoisseurs.
Often, the bird’s name that was originally chosen is reinforced by a peculiar surname; it is an epithet that joins the name in the process of character formation. For example, Kesha Grunt - such a combination fully reflects the nature of the feathered, and a cute home nickname for a parrot will only increase the pleasure of talking with a pet.
