I'm curious to hear what your bird's nicknames are...are they a play on their names or shorter like a usual nickname?
I have noticed that with my human kids, I shortened their names..with my furry and feathered family members, most of the time their nicknames are longer than the original.
My kids:
Brittany - Britty
Joshua- Josh

Birds and dogs?

Church-Churchaburch
Memphis-Memphy Doodles

Slater-Slater Gator
Phoenix-Phoedledeedee
Jaxon-GreenGreen
Ekko-EkkoDeBekko
Masuka-SukaLuka
Luna-Luna Tuna
Stevie-Stevie the wonder bird
Spike-Spikeler Bikeler
Rex-Sexy Rex

All of them have nicknames like this, and am wondering if I am the only one who makes their nickname longer than their actual name?

Mille gets Milliebird, Mill Mill, Millie B, Miss Mill/Miss Millie
Bundii gets Bundiibird, Bund, Bundii B, Miss B, Screechy McScreechy pants,

I think that is it at this stage.

Our Amazon Julio's name plays to many possible nicknames and is found in a song or two.

A larger number of Double-Yellow Head Amazons having Mexican (Spanish) rooted names. This results in the first part of Julio's name having a "who' sound to it! Hence, his nickname is: Who Bird.

For whatever reason, he commonly responses with a Canada Goose 'Honk' when his nickname is use.

Remi - Eclectus (Hatched August 2017)
Hmm lets see. What else do I call Remi?

* Little red chicken (Thanks to the rollings stones song, see below!) - also used when singing butchered lyrics of the song
* Flame chicken
* Rem-rem-rem-rem-rem-rem-remi red rooster (From a Red Rooster jingle)
* Remington
* Feather banshee

And this is just after a month! lol

Bumble - Pacific (or Celestial) Parrotlet hatched 02/19/17
Bumble naturally lends itself to Bumblebee. I also call her Stinker and Bumbleiscious.

Our dog that just passed was Godzilla. He was Zilly, Boo, Zillaboo, Zilly-banilla. PopTart is Pops, Poppy, Poppers, Potsticker, Pasta, pickle, and pickle-noodle (he’s long, skinny, and floppy like a cooked spaghetti noodle). So most of our nicknames are longer for our pets.

My daughter, Susannah, on the other hand, goes by Sus with her friends and Zannie or Zan with family.

I am loving everyone's nicknames! I wonder if the birds have nicknames for us as well?
