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... :)

Re: Names please
 

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

Re: Names please
 

Like it! But what about a nice sensible name like Bob or Marvin?

Nicky

Re: Names please
 

cheep
noisy swine
colin

or what about beefer....as in b for bird? .....ok, I'll shut up :rolleyes:

Re: Names please
 

We have friends here in Oz with a Cockateil and this bird goes away camping and 4wd'ing with them. LOVES IT!!

Its name is Edgar..... :D

Re: Names please
 

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!)

Re: Names please
 

How about "Toohey" - 'cos hes a 'cock-a-toohey' and 'Tooheys' is an Aussie beer?

Or just call him 'Aussie'?

Or I'll just get me coat...... :D

Re: Names please

Re: Names please
 

what about 'plucked'.......cos that's what he'd be in my house if he woke me up at 4am!! The bloody dog's bad enough chucking her toys about at that time! :rolleyes:

Re: Names please

Re: Names please
 

Cock-a-hoop :p

Re: Names please

Re: Names please
 

Well my MILs are called: sock, shirt, tie and Lucy and they have a baby they have yet to name. The other 2 babies they had that now belong to my daughter have been called Baby Lucy and Ben....she chose the names herself, and she also doesn't believe they're cockateils, she says they're Lucy birds Awwww :D
Marie


Forgot to mention she had another 2 that are dead now but they were called George and Mildred :rolleyes:

Re: Names please
 

:o Thanks for that! :D

Re: Names please

Re: Names please
 

Spike .... my kids have decided whatever pet we have next it is going to be called Spike .... don't know why :confused: but I do quite like it thankfully :)

Better than "Snitch" which is what they named the dog :rolleyes: Once in the park my dog ran off to another dog for a sniff and when I was calling him back the woman thought I was calling her "bitch" :o

Re: Names please
 

Cyril as in Cyril Neveu ( the first ever Dakar rally winner in 1979)......Perfect !!

Re: Names please
 

"I'll ring your F...ing neck" seems to roll off the tongue quite well.

Might cause confusion though as you won't know whether the wife is talking to the bird or the dick. :D

Re: Names please
 

I think I know the most likely one she would be talking to!!!! ;)

Re: Names please
 

Hahaha we used to have a Pink and Grey Galah when we were kids and it spoke well.

Also had a dog called Jason that barked alot. Now mum used to open the door and say "be quiet Jason". We used to open the door and say "shut the **** up Jason"


So PG the Galah used to say "WOOF WOOF WOOF Shut the **** up Jason" all the time. Drove my mum mad. :D

Re: Names please
 

how about Jesus-Christ as a first name, WillUShuddup as a surname?

failing that.. Colin or Norman??

Re: Names please
 

im pmsl at the thought of you calling it colin - what a fantastic name!!!!!

lmao!!!

:D :D :D

Re: Names please
 

LOL I agree :D

Well I have two beautiful cockatiels one is called Chester and the other Tilly :) but if I had to choose another name it would be Ed.

Re: Names please
 

We used to have a little red parrot called Damian. The name suited the little devil extremely well!!

Re: Names please
 

Barry is another good name...

Dave is another one I like, but someone suggested that already..

Or how about Elvis... then you can teach him to say 'Thank you very much' and 'Uhh-huh Baby'...

Re: Names please
 

Call him TUPAC, one of my favourite musicians. :D

Think it would kinda suit him.

Re: Names please
 

Keith - OMG where did that come from :o

Re: Names please
 

Call it Tufty coz they have cute spikey tufts ;)

Re: Names please
 

As you moved from scotland how's about "Scotty" :)

Re: Names please
 

We called ours Benson he was great till he learnt how to bark like next doors dog, and my son taught him to whistle colonel bogey

Re: Names please
 

How about NINJA.

Re: Names please
 

We had one as a kid. We called him cookie as that was about the only word he could screech.

He'd had his wings clipped, so his flying ability was restricted to climbing on top of his cage, launching off and gliding in a spiral round the room till he hit the floor.
Anyway one day, he must have misjudged his landing, and ended up in the loo.
Unfortunately for cookie, the loo had that Bloo Loo stuff in it, so by the time he was rescued, he'd gone a funny blue green colour.
Sadly he fell from his perch the next day.
There's a moral about loo seats there.
