Hi everybody
My name is Tammy and I am a new owner of a precious Indian Ringneck. The new character has not as yet got a name as I have only had him/her for 4 days. I wouldn't mind some name suggestions. He is blue and already seems to be developing a character of his own. I have never owned a parrot before and still feel a bit lost. Very relieved that I have found your website.
I would appreciate some advice on some of the behaviour that he/she is displaying which I am not sure how to interpret. He/she bobs the head up and down quite a lot, even when I am feeding. The bird is about 6 weeks old. He/she also tends to start chirpping when it hears me or sees me.
I really would appreciate some advice and guidance.
many thanks

Welcome to the board, Tammy. I'm happy you found us too. Though, I can't think of any name suggestions at this moment...
I did once have a list of names I liked. But I think I lost it.
I do remember that many of the names I enjoyed were from greek/roman or egyptian history and mythology. But then, I do love history.

Hi Tammy,
Welcome to the board. I was on holiday down your way this summer. I also have a friend with birds who lives near you....of course the name of the suburb escapes me -- it is out by the airport; I want to say Benoni? Anyway, she brought her fids to keep me company at the airport while I was waiting for my flight. What great fun!

Well, blue will always make me think ocean (because I sail), so I would think of oceanic mythology first. Like Orpheus or Halcyon, lol.
But I've seen Icarus used for birds, always a cute name. Oedipus is a name I like for animals as well.
One of the non-myth names I love is Chanticleer.
But it all depends on how you like to personify your little one and the idea you wish to evoke in others when you say the name. ^_^
