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

[ChrisH26]

I call my conure Charlie, Pooper, Poopy, Heep, Dinoboy (because birds are dinosaurs) my budgie Benny as Benny-boy, and lastly, I refer to all of my birds collectively as Burgess. Because it kinda sounds like "Birdies."

Phoenix has two nicknames. The main one is PeeWee, his not used as much one is Rainbow Raptor.

 

[texsize]

Luna & Merlin are “the twins “
Bella is squeaky bird .
The Cockatiels are all “babies “
Bingo, can’t think of anything that we use as a nickname for him.

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.

Paco went to Paco Belle to Pacololo (Hawaiian weed cuz she's crazy " li dat ") she's a 44 year old yellow nape Amazon.

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

I sing "Paco's pretty a la " I'm so pretty/west side story) she joins in at and I pity any bird that doesn't feel that way!

Munchkin is often called "the Princess" by us and visitors, also Missy and Pooper, ends up being Princess Missy Munchkin.
My old Canary who lived for nearly 20 years was Gandalf aka Alfie and our beautiful Galah baby was originally Gladys (was only 4-5 weeks out of nest ) when his mum was run over but he (eyes hadn't coloured) became Chook Chook aka bugger bird.

They get nicknames having to do with their behavior, like Mr. PinchyBeak or Crunchybeak.

I feel like I'm the queen of horribly unhinged nicknames for my birds.
Tina: Teeba, Teenie
Siouxsie: Soozie Soo, Soup, Chicken Noodle Soupie, Soupie. (This nickname has gotten so bad we just call her Soup)
Betty: Crimebag. Bigfoot Betty
Squid: Squidward, Squidge, Squidgimus
Bonita(RIP): Bonbon, Nita, Benny, Bean burrito, Beaniebaby, the list literally is a mile long.
Jello: Jello Bello, Jello Biafra, Mr. Man
Honorable mention is my dog Henry Rollins. We can him Hamster, Ham-man, but he literally will respond to his 'wizard name': Hamma-wamma-bo-bamma-slamma-shamma!

Somehow, Stinkybeak is a popular name. Even though the birds don’t stink; “-beak” seems to be a popular parrot prefix or suffix, kind of like “-man” or “-ski” or “-berg”.

Hence, Nastybeak, sweetiebeak, snugglebeak, Beakmonster, Beakmeister etc…. Although when unfortunate poop incidents happen the bird gets called “butt bird”. Thank God these birds don’t pick up speech like Lucy did.

And phrases like “don’t give me that beak!” “Watch your beak,” “this beak’s for you”, “beak-tastic!”

If the mammal owners don’t get it, they’re just being narrow-minded. Birds are better in so many ways.

 

[Squiggles:D]

Squiggles is:
-bat bird
-squigs
-squiggies
- squiggles the clown
- squigqewiggewiggeewoowoo

 

[Rozalka]

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

I forgot about one Zenek's nickname - Gargamel It's very rare used but sometimes my mom does it.

 

[zERo]

Tony is TonyBuuurd or Chuffy or Chuffy puffy
Thomas is Lil Conure or Baby
Sheer Khan is Sheery or Sheer Sheer
Ryuk is Ry-Ry
Romeo is Lil Bird
Striga is The Strig or Blue boy
Grim is Grim girl or Lil Devil
Billy is Billy buuurd or Billy boy
And finally Hedwig is well just Hedwig mostly, maybe green girl sometimes.

And now with Willow’s new poop-cleaning (via beak) habit he’s been nicknamed mr gross-beak or dirty bird. Yuck!
