Names please
 
Okay everyone we need your help. We bought a cockateil yesterday. He is very friendly, he likes having the back of his head scratched. However, Mrs ZX and I can not decide on a Name. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... :)


ZX..... :cool:

How about Leekie coz it will have a tendency to be a bit........

And if it does continually wake you up, it could end up in the soup which would obviously be cock-a-leekie.

What a sad play on words - I know! :D

I knew someone who knew someone (get my drift?!) and they had a dog called DEEFA so I reckon beefer should be in the running.

(Second to Leekie of course!!!)

Binbird (no relation to beefer!)
