Names for budgies
Many people are happy to have budgies as pets. And this is no coincidence, because these birds are very funny and quite often even learn to talk, which becomes an additional reason for the pride of the owners.
The birds especially often pronounce their name, so you should be as responsible as possible about which nickname to choose for your little friend.
What should be the starting point when choosing?
When choosing a name, many owners rack their brains for a long time. Indeed, one should not rush to this. The best option is to wait for a while. This will provide an opportunity to observe the feathered friend, study his preferences, and see his habits.
The name needs to be chosen light and beautiful, which is also quite simple to pronounce. In addition, you need to focus on the sex of the bird. However, there are still basic rules according to which this difficult stage can be shortened. First, you should discuss this topic with all family members. Everyone should like the nickname. In addition, if it is decided to name the pet by a human name, it should not be similar to the names of those who live with the bird or often come to visit.
The next point is ease of pronunciation. Long names are best avoided, it will be very difficult for a parrot, and sometimes impossible to learn them. It should also be borne in mind that the owners often refer to the pet in a diminutive form, so the nickname must be decent. And, of course, you should choose a name, which, when pronouncing, will not cause problems for the bird itself.
Some people believe that there is nothing wrong with renaming budgies, if initially the nickname was not chosen very well. This opinion is wrong the name must be given once and until the end of life. Even if an adult is purchased or taken from another home, the family should not change its nickname - this can be very stressful for the pet. As a last resort, you can think about the most consonant options.
Summing up the observations, you should pay attention to the color of the bird and its character. Is the parrot jumping around the cage, trying to fly and being very active? You can call it Shustrik, Zipper, Cucaracha. And it sounds fun enough, and as much as possible reflects the behavior of the new pet.
Feather color will also suggest many interesting options. Do feathers of a green hue prevail? The name can be: Green, Shrek, Lavrusha, Christmas tree, Gena (by association with a crocodile), Zelenusha - there are a huge number of derivatives. Is your pet yellow? By themselves, such nicknames as Sunny (in English Sunny), Zlata, Gold.
The owners of the blue parrot also have where to apply their imagination. Forget-me-not and Aqua - great nicknames for girls, and for boys something like Indigo or Goluba. White bird can be called Snow or Snowball. The main thing is to turn on your own imagination and discuss this issue with your loved ones.
It is no secret for the budgerigar lovers that gender has a great influence on the bird's behavior and talkativeness. If the girls are calmer, then the boys are generally extremely chatty.
When in doubt about the sex of your pet, you can use a neutral name.
Favorite letters
Parrot lovers know that birds don't particularly like to pronounce certain letters. Birds are good at hearing sibilant and sibilant consonants. This applies to letters such as "h", "u", "g", "w" and so on. But the list of unloved includes "l", "m", "n", as well as some vowels.
Parrots do not have problems with the pronunciation of "a", "o", "i", "e", but "u", "i", "e", "y" can cause difficulties. They love birds and such consonants as "p", "k", "p", "d". It is better to refuse from the soft sign, especially which is in the middle of the nickname, and choose a simpler option for a small pet.
