Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / December 2003Help Me Name My New Birds
I have two new Zebra Finches - both male and we are having a hard time deciding on names for them. We have toyed with several popular male name pairs such as Bert and Ernie, Flatt and Scruggs, Rowan and Martin, Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin, Harry and Ron, Starsky and Hutch, Ben and Jerry, etc. but after a couple of seconds of laughter, we cool to the idea. We are new to this group - so I don't know if it is popular to give names to pet birds. They are both very happy, talkative critters (and we got them from Petsmart - a very pleasant buying experience). We'd welcome any suggestions from the group. > I have two new Zebra Finches - both male and we are having a hard time > deciding on names for them.

Mean guy spoketh Let them be "Sid and Nancy" I fostered two female zebra finches -- named them Pippin and Jordan.

Hi, We started with just two zebra finches... Mr. Humphries and Mrs Slocum from the British comedy "Are you being Served?" But we quickly built a larger cage with nice glass sides to see them better, got a couple more pairs, had some deaths:( So now we just enjoy the finches, without names. But if you are going to just have two, then names are fun! We also have 2 parakeets: Alistair and Molly(gotten at different times, unrelates names!) Two rescue doves, Betram and Beatrice, and a new Quaker: Maxwell. have fun!

Observe them for a while, and then choose something reflective of their behavior and personalities.

LOL I only have VHS so won't be getting the DVD. I will get the VHS tape when it comes out though to complete the set. It was the first time in about 10 years I have been to the cinema and it was great. I felt a little queasy though at some of the scenes where they flew over the cliffs and the land dropped away as I suffer from vertigo. But a fantastic film in all. Highly recommended. It was over 3 hours long and I was desperate to go to the loo but wouldn't in case I missed anything, plus my arm was aching like mad and swollen from a dog bite but I *still* enjoyed the film. I want to marry Legolas (drool) >Subject: Re: Help Me Name My New Birds >From: "oldmolly" oldmolly1@ntlworld.com [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >was great.

I told Chuck that if had knows it was going to be such a rollercoaster I would've taken a couple of "happy pills" before going to the movies. lol >But a fantastic film in all.

We went to see it at a small theater in town, the line to buy tickets wasn't as long as the line to go to the loo afterwards (see, I can speak british too... I said 'loo' :P) > I want to marry Legolas (drool) Glass of water for Ms. Molly!

I just want to have mad, passionate monkey sex with him every second weekend. Think we could work out some kind of sharing arrangement? Sorry to hear about your arm. I did a number on myself once after a cat bite. Spent three days in hosptial on intravenous antibiotics. No fun. Tara J.

This is exactly the reason cats and birds shouldn't mix. Regards > >From: thehouse@pooh.corner > I did a number on myself once after [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Regards Okay, I will freely admit that I am new to this whole newsgroup thing, but search as I might, I cannot find the reference to cats in this conversation?? Anyway, since you raised the issue,my husband and I, and various members of my extended family have had various mixes of dogs, cats and birds that cohabitate quite well. We obtained our latest bird from a breeder that does the same, so I think that birds and cats can manage quite well. Obviously if you want your birds to have totally free reign at all times, that is a different story. But some of us feel that the compromise of some cage time is worth having the "extended family" of other types of pets. take care.

It flows from other discussion threads on the same topic, and is in response to my sympathetic comment to old molly, who was nursing a painful dog bite. I use "x-no archive: yes" to keep my posts out of the Google database. That could distort search results. ><(((*> Anyway, since you raised the issue,my husband and I, and various ><(((*> members of my extended family have had various mixes of dogs, cats and [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] ><(((*> that the compromise of some cage time is worth having the "extended ><(((*> family" of other types of pets. Cats are notorious for carrying an unhealthy mix of bacteria in their saliva and under their claws. Cat bites and scratches can become badly infected very quickly, and this will kill a bird in a matter of hours. I went to the hospital a mere six hours after getting bitten, and stayed there for three days. I have cats and a parrot. I am very anal about keeping them in separate rooms *unless* I am there with them. Even then, I don't let my vigilance down for a moment. And that's with the bird in his cage. Tara J.
