IndianRingNeck.com

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

Hi and welcome to the site

lets see i have some name ideas

Oscar
trevor
Cooper

not a alot of girl names i can think of but abby or lacy

Hi there

Thanks I quite like Cooper it seems unisex. I was also thinking of Jaja.

Welcome Tammy We want to see pics of this pretty baby!!

The bobbing is normal for a baby, thats his way of begging and also they must bob while their being fed.

As his personality comes showing then you will find the perfect name.

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!

Thanks Melika and Catschair

I appreciate the overwhelming support and frienship I have experienced so far, it is titally amazing.

Melika, I also love history and mythology.

Catchair, I trust you had a super holiday here withreally good weather.

Hello Tammy and welcome to the flock! I've always loved the names Olly and Phoenix for boys. Should of called my birds that, but oh well.
Hope you settle in here and find us useful.

Hi Lauren

I have been made to feel very welcome and the members have helped me very much. Many thanks for the support and assistance. Your babies are beautiful.

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. ^_^

Hi Tammy, my irn is blue also... and I named her/him Skye. I am practically new here too... my Skye is 5-6months old and such a dear.

Other Possible names that are unisex

Peanut
Danube (for the river)

Names relating to Blue
Cobalt
Navy
Indigo
Ocean
Smurf (blue cartoon character)

Hope I have been of some help...

Welcome to the family. My blue was named Kai because this means Ocean in another language and the Ocean Is blue, it is also one of my favorite places.

Azure = Skyblue
Linnea = small blue flower
