Name Suggestion?

ChocolateChipCookiez · Jan 18, 2019

Hi, I got a approximately 3 week old cockatiel 1 week ago. He/she's a White-Faced Cockatiel :grey:

and I haven't fully decided on a name for him. I'm thinking of Cookie but I'm not quite sure. Any name suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

first of all 3 week old or you've had it for three weeks? Is it on solid food?

Secondly all cockatiels should be named cookie because you chose that as your username....and it works for male or female

Also seriously is your bird weened onto solid food?

No I only had him for 1 week and he isn't weaned yet. My older brother has a weaned cockatiel so he can help me wean him/her.
Aproximately 4 weeks old now.

That is certainly a cute baby. We usually caution people against taking unweaned babies. As this is usually done by lazy breeders who want a quick buck, and not the work.
I haven't raised babies, but I know keeping the baby warm, and that the feeding formula has to be at an exact temp. Babies can easily have their crop burned, or with to cool off temp have yeast and bacteria grow. So a more knowledgeable nember will probably post advice. Do read up on weaning by abundance, and the importance of letting your baby fledge and learn to fly well, before ever clipping wings ( if you decide to clip, many of us don't)

I'm usually good at posting a ton of names, but I really like Cookie

Almost everyone in my country buys unweaned babies and only very few sell weaned babies.

I know the temp the bird's food should be around and I don't have the heart to clip his wings. I want him to be able to fly.

I think we all vote for Cookie. Cute name for a cute baby! And I love that you don’t plan on clipping their wings. Watching out little friends fly is such a joy! Since you have an unweaned baby, I thought this post by SilverSage might be helpful.

Thanks for the link

I've decided to name him Cookie!
Since I can't think of anything else and it's a cute name, Cookie is now his/her name!
