Help Me Name The Baby Lovebirds!
For those that have been following me on Twitter and Plurk, you guys probably know that my bird family has expanded considerably!
KuKuNehNeh and I have 7 lovebirds now in total and they are:
Bluey! 10 months old and mother of 4!
Greenbean! 9 months old and father of 4! (he thinks he is a spider sometimes)
Uno! 10 weeks old and first child of Bluey and Greenbean
Mango! 5 weeks old! Ain't she a beauty?
Bluey was very quick to start a family after Uno and for the 2nd batch of eggs that she laid, 3 were hatched out of the 6.
Bluey's 2nd batch of eggs and chicks
Look at the size difference! The two larger chicks are only 2 days apart from each other with the oldest one at 12 days old at the time of the pic above and the smallest one is at 2 days old. Before the birth of the runt, we had probably accepted that were only 2 chicks from this batch but this little one surprised us all.
The 2 larger baby lovebirds are now 15 and 17 days old and are being handfed. They don’t have names yet! So to save us from the lack of imagination and them from being called Bird #1 and Bird #2, help me think of names to call them!
Bird #1 & Bird #2... look at how sad they are with no names....
Leave me your suggestions in the comments below!
Try not to give names longer than 2 syllables. When I want the lovebirds over, it’s hard to say “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! COME HERE!”
I leave you with more pics of the lovebirds!

Mango loves a warm hand.

@Daphne: I’ll ask Uno for her opinion on this…..

seriously right.. if u name them using numbers.. u solve the problem of ever having to think of names ever again. i mean.. numbers can go as high as u ever possibly could breed the birds.

named my three terrapins Eeny,Miny and Moe(Moe being the smallest and lightest in shell colour)… Was going for the 3 Musketeers but then again,I felt it’ll be strange to call them Musketeer 1,2,3.
I think it’ll be a lot more meaningful to name your lovelies when their unique characteristics surfaces.

@JanetChew: Eeny, Miny & Moe is kinda cute!
