I officially put a deposit down on a 6 week old baby male Eclectus!!! :green2: I have wanted one for years, I can't wait :) I still need to think of a name, so any suggestions would be appreciated! I feel like he has a specific name, just haven't been able to figure it out yet :)

If Zephyr hadn't been a Zephyr he'd have been a Reed. Do you have any guidelines for a name so we can give you better suggestions? :)

Something cute! Preferably not a human name, and if it's food related, nothing that he's going to be eating (hey blueberry, eat a blueberry! might be confusing :09:)

I like pickle, but don't want to recommend it too much so it's still available for me. ;)

Viridis? :09:

It's so hard deciding on a name, that most of mine always end up being something to do with their colour.
