The girl parrot will be a great gift for girls and girls of all ages. Such a pet will allow the young mistress to learn how to take care of and take care of her neighbors, instill in her a sense of responsibility for someone's life, and make her more sociable and positive.
When a pet just appears in the house, many questions arise, one of which is related to how to name the bird. This will be discussed below.
Name selection rules
First of all, you should familiarize yourself with some rules for choosing a name. Please note that birds, like other pets, have different personalities, habits and abilities.
- The name must be individual. Do not let it repeat or be in tune with the names of other family members and pet names. This will make it easier for the bird to understand that it is being addressed to her.
- The name should correspond to the habits and character of the bird.
- Create an emotional connection with the bird so that it recognizes you.
- As a nickname, you can use the names of characters from cartoons and films.
- You need to choose a name taking into account the parrot's conversational abilities. They depend on the breed.
- Those birds that are sociable can be given more complex names, and less talkative ones - short ones.
- It is believed that males are more sociable than females.
- It is difficult to determine gender among Correls, so it is better to choose universal names.
- Correls are also able to reproduce everyday noise, so names with hissing sounds are suitable for easy memorization.
- Of the vowels, the letters "i" and "a" are easier for parrots.
- It is advisable that the name corresponds to the breed of bird that you have chosen.
- Lovebirds are often given in pairs, so it's best to choose paired names right away.
- Parrots Jaco are very smart, but they are recommended to give a nickname in 2-3 syllables.
- Some parrots are very finicky.When giving the parrot a nickname, observe his reaction and give him a choice of 3-4 names.
- For a parrot with a low level of human speech ability, you need to give clear short names.
- Take your time to give a nickname.
Often, bird owners find themselves in a situation where pets do not respond. This can happen for several reasons:
- not enough time has passed, and the feathered friend has not yet had time to get used to the nickname;
- you have not established emotional contact with the bird, and it does not trust you;
- she doesn't like the nickname;
- the name contains difficult to pronounce sounds;
- the parrot was already accustomed to some other name;
- the owner does not pronounce the name clearly enough;
- the nickname is very long to remember;
- aggressive emotions when referring to a parrot.
To understand each specific situation, you need to take into account several rules. If not enough time has passed, then it is recommended not to rush the bird and more often refer to it by name.
It is very important to pronounce the nickname clearly and slowly, then the bird will be able to copy the sounds and remember it faster. Talk to your pets more often.
If enough time has passed, and the parrot still ignores you, watch the bird's reaction when you address it. If the necessary emotional contact has not arisen between you, then the parrot will behave very wary, turn sideways or back to you, go to the far corner of the cage. Try to be friendlier to the bird so that it can trust you. Don't terrorize her with your attention.
The same recommendations can be given in the case of aggressive behavior with a pet. Birds are guided by the emotions in the voice and human behavior in order to decide whether they can be trusted or not. Pay attention to how the bird feels in your presence. In many parrots, a sign of stress is the pulling of their plumage.
Your bird may not respond to a nickname if it has already been accustomed to some other. In this case, she will react to some combinations of sounds that her past nickname contained. It is worth choosing a name taking into account these sounds.
Well, the most common thing is that the nickname was chosen incorrectly. Not all parrots can memorize long, complex names. Small birds usually find it difficult. For these parrots, it is better to choose simple and short names.
The bird should like its name. Give her a choice of 3-4 names. She will react to the name that she liked: turn her head, twitch her tail.

Jaco's parrots are very smart. There is a story about how a parrot named Arachi "played" with a pet dog, making the sounds of a doorbell. As a result, the dog ran to the front door every time. Celebrities are also not indifferent to parrots, for example, the parrot star Hilary Swank's name is Susie.
An interesting option for a pet's name will be food preferences. For example, if you like pistachio ice cream, then the parrot can be called Pistachio. Although calling the bird Sausage, for example, would be a bad idea.
In the 20th century, it was very popular to call our parrots by two-syllable names: Zhizhi, Chichi, and so on.
