Thread: I got a BIRD!!!

  1. #1

    I got a BIRD!!!

    Yesterday, we stopped by the Pet Store where we got Prince. I looked at the puppies, and then I looked at the rats and lizards. I told my mom we had to look at the birds. We went over there, and there were a couple different kinds. I put my finger down, and this cockatiel just got right on. It sat on my shoulder... finally I put it down, and was going to see if any of the other birds would go on my finger. None of them did. I begged my mom... she said it was up to me. I finally decided yes, and my mom paid for the bird and I paid for the starters kit(cage, bird feed, waterers and feeders) It was more expensive than the bird! I got some pics too. Here they are!

    This one is my favorite:

    We don't know if the bird is a male or female, but you can still give me name suggestions! If you have anything to tell me about having a bird, well, please do!
    Thanks!
    Dogz and the gang

    OMG! What a CUTIE and brave bird to meet a big pup! From the pics, he/she looks very young, so your bird is probably just a few months old. After the first molt, its easier to tell if its a male or female. Right now, the looks are female, but if the bird is young, it could very well be a male. Since you have a normal gray cockatiel, when he/she gets older, if its a male, the face you become a very bright yellow with no gray on the face. If not, its probably a female. If the bird is vocal, (singing a lot) its probably a male. Good luck with your new tiel! One thing I'd like you to be aware of, since it seems your pups and bird already love each other , is that don't allow them to lick the bird or for the bird to touch their saliva in any way. Birds have very little bacteria in their mouths and the bacteria from the mouths of dogs and cats can make them very ill or even kill them. Also, be very careful when the bird's around the dogs, because you just never know. It seems your pup is very sweet with him/her already though. More pics please and I'm sure that with time, you'll come to love life with your new feathered friend!

    What a cutie!!! He does look young, doesn't he? (or she ) Congrats, I've always wanted a tiel!

    Here are some names I found

    AVIS f English
    Pronounced: AY-vis
    Originally derived from the Germanic element av which is of unknown meaning. However during medieval times the name became associated with Latin avis, which means "bird."

    CIRCE f Greek Mythology (Latinized)
    Pronounced: SUR-see
    From the Greek Kirke, which possibly meant "bird". In Greek mythology Circe was a sorceress who changed Odysseus' crew into hogs but was forced by him to change them back.

    KEKOA m Hawaiian
    Means "the brave one" in Hawaiian

    KUNO m German
    Derived from Germanic kuoni meaning "brave"


    AKILAH f Arabic
    Means "intelligent" in Arabic.

    SIRAN f Armenian
    Means "lovely" in Armenian

    OBI m African
    Means "heart" in Igbo.

    I love the name siran Good luck!
    I've been BOO'd!

    I like Scooter and Pepsi the best I think it's better to pick a unisex name anyways -- just in case!

    I really liked those names too! I think I like Scooter a little bit more, do you think that could be a girl name too?
