Do you have nicknames for your bird?

[Kokihi]

My boyfriend and I have several nicknames for Tori including "pooper" which he gets called often when he poops outside his cage, "Fluffly" when he fluffs up and glares at me for whatever unforgivable sin I have committed, "Beakie" when he's being...well...beakie. "Peeper" When he does his machine gun chirp.

I've only had Suki a week and she already has a few nicknames. Little missy when she's being mischievous, and my hubby likes calling her phoenix

My dad calls Merlin "Merl" *shudder*. Personally hate the nickname, but love that my dad loves Merlin

"Cycle path"
"Silly basket"
Just generally things like 'menace' 'trouble' etc

Um there's some profanity related nicknames.
"Shh... for brains" is a frequently used one. Merlin's not the brightest, so...

We rarely actually swear around him though, good practice for when we get something that is more likely to talk, don't want them picking up naughties!

Of course there's all the other things like "baby boy" "precious" etc. Lots of 'mummy loves Merlin when hes cuddly' names

I made a list last night on another thread, lol!

Rowdy is generally just Rowdy, but I also call her boo boo, little one and machine gun pooper

Pete is Petey

Merlin is Merloony and Loony Girl

And of course they are good girl/good boy and things like that. Honey, sweetheart, little dear. I tell Petey he is a big, strong amazon boy.

After this last training session Tori gets another nickname... "ADHD bird!" also "clumsy" because he tripped himself trying to jump up to my boyfriend. XD I wish I had the video camera running. it was precious!

also, lol @ "Sh... for brains." XD Sometimes I feel like calling Tori that too, but he tends to pick up words pretty quickly. ^_^;;

Well Mickey used to be Pretty boy, but the DNA doesn't lie, and he is now Princess Penelope Pretty Pants......lol, also pretty girly girl....

I choose to use "Stinker" quite a bit. If they one day repeat it, it will be so much better than a curse word that I could use in its place.

Peppers started calling herself Pepperoni, so now we sometimes call her that.

hi MickeysMom! The first time I saw a female U2 was at a pet store and her eyes were a reddish brown color, so different from Amigos, (his are very dark almost black), and she was also quite a bit smaller. Are Mickey's eyes a reddish brown color?

My nickname's for Amigo are Boo and Booger. Butt head comes up often,also.

 

[mcw009]

I often shorten it to "Ica" (from Icarus). I refuse to call my bird "Icky"!

Then there's "Bubble," which evolved from "Bub." Also "big guy" or "big bird" (He's big compared to the budgies!). "Snuggle muffin" when he wants scritches, or "grump muffin" if he... doesn't. "Grumble face" when he makes his happy lil rumbles.

let's see... Loki is often referred to as "Angry Bird", "Sh.. head" (Thanks Hubs!), Pooper (I swear his next word is going to be "poop" as we say it every time we see him poop, whether he's on his cage or not), Menace and Baby Boy.

Sugar hasn't come home yet, so I try not to use nicknames just yet. She isn't even acknowledging her new name yet

Actually she has dark eyes, so we assumed male....but nope...She's a girl...lol Vet thinks she may be young and they will lighten

I call Kayak "Yak Yak" "Pretty Girl" "Master Pooper" "Angry Bird" (she screams when she doesn't get her way)
Carlisle gets called "Carbuncle" (lol...) "CarRyle" "Angry F------ Bird" (he is a very loud, angry bird)
Franklin is just Franklin or "OH WTF YOU DIRTY BIRD!" he's a messy bird
Spooky is "Spooks" "Mister Spooky" "Spooky Buuurd" (He says Good boy 'Pooky Buuuuuuuuurd! when he wants your attention) "Little Man" "Budgie Buddy"
Meister is just Meister.... she's scared of humans and is more content if we don't look at her much less talk to her :'(

LOL, so glad we're not the only one who picked up "Angry Bird"!! Loki takes to his bell and screams and rings it at the same time (He's not terribly loud though) and we usually go "Annnnngry bird!" He doesn't stay angry very long though.

Poor Meister

I dont have a bird but i wonder if when I do get one if the REAL NAME will really matter.

I have a cat named maggie and I rarely call her that, I call her Pooka, Berry, Pookaberry, Maggie poo, The mags, and anything else I think of XD
