Nickname Humor... what nicknames do your birds have?

What silly nicknames do you name your critters? Redshift, my cockatiel, is 'Booger Bird' and Charlie, my conure, is 'Buzzsaw ' because of his habit of mowing through paper he's allowed to chew, LOL.

Great thread! It always amuses me how the nicknames I come up with are so much longer than their real names.

My GCC, Jax, is GreenGreen or Mr, Green Jeans.

All the rest I can think of are pretty boring and unimaginative.

Slater is SlaterGatorDaterBater
Dexter is Dexter RolyPoly
Ekko is Ekka-de-bek
Xander is XanderDander
Kodee is Kodee-Ko
Kimera is KiKi

Salty-Boy
Seltzicht
Feather Buster
I sing "Soldier Boy" to him, substituting Salty-Boy - its his next singing tune, I hope.
"Salty-boy, Oh my little Salty-boy!"

When I come in the room and the contact calls start I just say "HELLO CHIRPERS!"

Descriptive and accurate.

I love this thread! I’m sure we can all relate!
Sammy is Samuel when he’s being naughty.
Mia is always “miss Mia”
Rusty is buggy.
Corkey & nikii are squeak and squeakers.

Haha, I do the same thing when they're naughty!
Talli's whole name is Metallica, and I can't believe that the other birds haven't picked that up, I bet I end up saying it 5 times a day at least.

My birds' nicknames may not be funny because I speak to them in English. But I'll try to translate them (some of them I've already written but here are some old and new ones)

Zenek:
- Huligan (hooligan, not used any longer)
- Gałgan (togs)
- Dewastator (devastator)
- Zenobiusz (rather not used any longer)
- Srajdupa (shit-butt?)
*- Zen (only sometimes on PF)

Rozalka:
- małpa (monkey)

Angela:
- niebieska (blue, only sometimes used)

Bourkes (all their flock):
- różowe (pinks)

All flock:
- pierzaste (feathered ones)

Oh no, most nikcknames seem to be negative
These aren't nicknames but for non-Polish speakers other name variations aren't obvious (I use them too. most of them are positive so I don't always use such words 😅 ):
Zenek --> Zenuś
Rozalka --> Rozalcia
Jaś --> Jasio, Jasiek
Fela --> Felcia

Griffen has got the nickname Circus Boy by my brother due to his personality.

I call Snowy "Snowzer".

 

[saxguy64]

Tucker... Tuck Tuck. He says that, so I go with it.

Baxter... Miss B., Bee, or just Daddy's Girl She also calls herself Pretty Girl, in my voice ❤️

Picasso: Cossie, Green Banana

My cousin called her bird „lil pooper scooper“ because she would clean the poop off her branches

All of these are fantastic! This is officially my favorite thread on here now.

Bongo, my sassy Green Cheek:
‘Danger Floof’ (most common)
‘Munchkin-munchkin!’ (Has to be in a sing-song voice)
‘Bongo-Bubble’
‘Borb Adorb’
‘Le Floof’ (i used to call my first parrot this so often, it’s habit whenever I address any bird now 😅🤣)

…writing this has made me realize how much I just smash a lot of words together when I babble nicknames at her sometimes, oh boy.

Echo, a green Indian Ringneck baby:
‘Angry Avacado’
‘Happy Mango’
‘Happy Pear’
‘Sweet Potatoe’
‘Mando-bird’ (because his head looks like a Mandalorian helmet when he looks directly at us with his beak and we’re a house of starwars nerds)
I say ‘baby boy’ often enough he probably thinks that’s a nickname, too.

His nickname is pretty much tied to whatever posture I see him in. He does the cutest ‘Potato-plop’ when he sits.

• Sky Tyrant
• Cowboy Peephop
• Pear prince
• Shoulder gourd
• Screaming nugget
• Aki-47 (he sounds like an automatic rifle when a hawk flies by the window)
