Need some good name suggestions for my cockatiel !!!

[Darth_Kitten]

Please help! :) Think she's a girl. :)

[Liberal Veteran]

1. I've alway been partial to liberal_veteran.....

Or you could name her Snowcrown.

[amazona]

2. "pepper" was a popular one a few years back

Another good one is "Angel," if it isn't too corny for you. "You know she is an angel because she has wings."

[Rhiannon12866]

19. Or Gabriel, after the angel...

My other cat, that I inherited along with Rhiannon, was named Angela... :shrug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. I've always been partial to

Tahlulah!

[flamingyouth]

8. I second that idea!

[kixot]

4. How about "Cracker"?

"Honky" ain't too bad, either.

[madrchsod]

5. you`ve got a cockatiel

so what about that kitty with that gun?..i got a female and named her sugar cause she`s sweet. she gets out everyday and flies around then lands on my shoulder a watches me type. they`re really nice little birds

[amazona]

6. darth kitten if that photo is your bird he is a male

Here is some information from Bird Talk magazine:

http://www.animalnetwork.com/birdtalk/profiles/profileview.asp?RecordNo=314

The bright orange cheek patches are the mark of the male.

On edit: If you have not owned a bird before, perhaps you are not aware that birds do not have external genitalia and no parrot (cockatiels are parrots) have a penis.

9. LOL

Thanks for the link, Amazona!! :hi: ;)

11. i understand the way to tell

is from the tail feathers, length of certain ones, coloration, etc.
Our male has the bright orange spot, and a neighbor said that was the mark of a female, found out that is incorrect id'ing.
When we got our female, 'his' name was 'chuckie', but now it's Pearl. She has bright orange spots too.

check with the local pet store and vet, etc to gender i.d. them.

7. My Cockatiel lived to be 27 years old and her name was Tilly

What color is she?

I use to call her Tilly Marie.

[corarose]

10. Name him Sue in memory of Johnny Cash

We found out that our bird was a male right before (she) died. We called him a her for 26 years and we even gave him a girls name.

[Darth_Kitten]

22. A bird named Sue...

:evilgrin:

[MisterP]

12. Percy, Sinclair, Sean

13. glad you finally found a cock you can call your own!!!

your days will be much more exciting, knowing there's a nice cock waiting for you at home... :evilgrin:

[Darth_Kitten]

21. perv......

;) :evilgrin:

[MuseRider]

14. I had a parakeet

named Galadriel (I think that is how you spell it) anyway it fit, she was mostly white.

[ForrestGump]

15. Rocky. Rocky the Cocky. 'Rockette,' if female.

Absolutely. Yo.

EDIT: added more traditionally feminine option.

[Darth_Kitten]

20. actually, Rocky can be a cute girl's name...

:)

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys!

[nuxvomica]

16. An exotic bird should have an exotic name: Tondelayo

Which is a girl's name. Hedy Lamarr's character in the movie White Cargo.

on edit: If it's a boy bird, "Oolorin". That's "Gandalf" in Elvish.

[birdman]

17. birdwoman ?

Just a thought.

[bbernardini]

18. Lumpy!

My wife refuses to let me use it for any future pets (or children), so I offer it to you.

[Kat45]

26. I had a parakeet named Lumpy!

Unfortunately, he died from a kidney tunor last year.

[Rhiannon12866]

28. I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets can be such great company.

I've thought I'd enjoy having a bird, but my cat might get the wrong idea. For the time being, I watch the pretty little visitors outside at the bird feeder. So does my cat.:-)

[alfredo]

23. Mine is called Tango because of how she dances on her perch.

Cocketeils are sweet birds. They don't talk much, but are loving pets.

[AnnabelLee]

24. Congrats on the new addition to your family!!!

I know you'll take supergood care of her! I like NSMA's suggestion of Talulah, that's a cute name. You might just want to watch her for a few days & see if her personality suggests a name to you. Good luck with your birdie!:D

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

25. Maggie

duh! :D

[Kat45]

27. I'd suggest getting ideas for names, but not picking one until

after you get her. Sometimes it's good to wait to see the bird's behavior and see if that suggests a name to you.

[Robb]

29. Seems obvious to me:

Molotov.

Molotov the Cockatiel.

:evilgrin:

[TrogL]

30. &^%&&^% noisy bird!!

or "shaaddddup"

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Do we have a winner, yet?

Also, you must learn how to do pix! I can't wait to see this marvelous bird!:hi:

[scarlet_owl]

32. I had one named

Shut the Hell up. One day while I was at school, his cage mate died. I came home and found that STHU had eaten the other bird's feet off. After that, he was known as "Hannibal". I don't think this post is very helpful. I just felt like telling a story.
