Boomerang lasted for about 5 minutes after I posted that, but my dad still insists on calling him that.

Flamepony, they *think* he is a boy because of his bright cheek patches, but they also said that about my uncle's tiel who at 18 started laying eggs!

Still no idea what to name 'it'. I like Buttons, though. Have to try it out on him! Hopefully I won't be calling him Birdie for the rest of his life!

CONGRATS!!! he sounds really pretty! Lucy is a boy but when the people named him they thought he was a girl. so i have a boy bird with a girly name....oh well.

good luck on naming "it" i have a few names...
Happy(could be boy or girl name)
pretty bird
marloe
willow
fiona
joe
popcorn

I think I'm going to name him Tas (or Taz, however I decide to spell it ) Because in Australia where cockatiels are from there is an animal called the Tasmanian Devil (sp?) and my little birdie has shown that he has a little devilish side.

I like the name Butter for a yellow 'tiel. Congrats on your new fid!

[chrissycat21]

So many cute names! I think I'm going to get him right now and try them out on him.....

Thanks!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats! can't wait for pics!

[chrissycat21]

Changed his name once again...

His name (and I'm sticking with tihs one!) Button! His orange cheek patches look like buttons, and he seems to like that name!

Aw, Button is cute. Good choice, I once had a friend with a cat named Buttons. When are we going to see pics of this guy?

Soon, I hope! Whenever my camera starts working again.

[flamepony12]

good choice!! there are also ways to tell if they are boys or girls:

*males have a more blueish tint to their beaks, females have more of a pinkish one
*females are usually a little less agressive then males, and girls make somewhat less noise
*males, most of the time, have yellow heads, instead of just a yellow cap.

Glad he's got a sticking name! Cant wait for the pix!
