I like Owen for your male Terri haha it's cute for an RB2. I looked at your older thread - I used to have a Slender Billed Too. She was beautiful and an incredible bird, but exactly like a chimpanzee :52: sadly I rehomed her to someone with an aviary and huge bird dedicated home. She was happy there.

I think Merlin is good :) and like some people said, goes nicely with the other names you have.

Its hard coming up with a male "Pinkbirdy " name :).

It really is! I have a whole list of names that would work for a female, but I've been struggling to come up with any names for a male. Ah, those pesky prescribed gender roles & stereotypes. Who's the jerk who decided pink was just for girls anyway? ;) Thank you so much for the link!

Congrats on your new baby!!! LOVE that last picture- "HAH!???" Lol

I think you'll be amazed at how sweet and soft they are once you get your hands on him [emoji6].

Just curious- what made you guys decide on a galah? For us, when my hubby saw videos on YouTube with all the super cuteness, that sealed the deal lol

Welcome to Club Pink!!! [emoji4]

He looks like trouble in that last photo-- like he's ready to take on the world. LOL

I've wanted a cockatoo for a huge chunk of my life and a galah seems to be the perfect fit. Listening to galah owners' experiences and viewing all of those extremely cute videos and photos is what won both of us over, for sure. They're so silly and adorable! :)

[Goffin Too]. I got my fill of white Toos :eek:

She was an Eastern Slender Bill. She was incredible. Not Velcro like a normal white too, didn't scream either (had a different sort of noise). SUPER active, otherwise not typical for a white too. More like a monkey who couldn't sit still!

I usually use unisex names. I don't even consciously do it, it just happens that way. Everyone at both vets offices thinks Robin and Raven are girls :(. I'm always saying "HE"... Lol

My mom's Rosy Bourke's is a small, pink, completely unintimidating boy named Pinky. Haha. Kind of girly :D he's cute though.

The lead character in the classic novel Brighton Rock was a man named Pinky... although on the other hand, he was a viscious gangster, so maybe not the best namesake for a galah!

Ohhhhh myyyyyy. Would you like to adopt me into your flock so I can cuddle up with that cutie?! I LOVE RB2's! I'm absolutely jealous... I'm just going to live vicariously through all of you lucky folk who get one. Please keep updating with lots and lots of photos! I really like the name Merlin, but part of me kinda thinks he's totally going to suit Rocket when he comes home. I think you'll know right away when that little adorable fluff of feathers comes home!

That's what I'm thinking too. Something tells me he's going to be quite a handful-- a big pink ball of energy and trouble. I'm sure his personality will show me which name suits him best. I'll post a ton of photos, I promise. :)

Wow what a sweet boy! I like Rocket for a name....I suppose a pink boy needs a tough name? These are my favorite parrots aside from Caiques. Congratulations!
