Many people are happy to make budgies as budgies. And this is no coincidence, because these birds are very funny and often even learn to talk, which becomes an additional reason for the pride of the owners.
Especially often the birds pronounce their name, so you should be as responsible as possible about which nickname to choose for a little friend.
What to choose from?
When choosing a name, many owners puzzle for a long time. Indeed, one should not rush into this. The best option is to wait a while. This will make it possible to observe a feathered friend, study his preferences, see his habits.
The name must be selected light and beautiful, which is also quite simple to pronounce. In addition, you need to focus on the floor of the bird. However, the basic rules according to which this difficult stage can be shortened do exist. To begin with, you should discuss this topic with all family members. Everyone should like the nickname. In addition, if it is decided to call the pet a human name, it should not be like the names of those who live with the bird or often come to visit.
The next point is ease of pronunciation. Long names are best avoided; a parrot will be very difficult, and sometimes impossible to learn. You also need to consider that the owners often turn to the pet in a diminutive form, so the nickname should be decent. Well, of course, you should choose a name, which, when pronounced, will not cause problems for the bird itself.
Some people believe that there is nothing wrong with renaming budgies if the nickname was originally chosen not too well. This opinion is erroneous a name should be given once and for the rest of his life. Even if an adult is acquired or taken from another house, the family should not change her nickname - this can be very stressful for the pet. In extreme cases, you can consider the most consonant options.
Summarizing the observations, you should pay attention to the color of the bird and its nature. Does a parrot jump around the cage, try to fly and behave very actively? Can call him Shustrik, Zipper, Cucaracha. And it sounds fun enough, and maximally reflects the behavior of the new pet.
The color of the feathers will also tell you many interesting options. Feathers of a green shade prevail? Name may be: Green, Shrek, Lavrush, Christmas tree, Gene (in association with a crocodile), Zelenush - derivatives of a huge amount. Is your pet yellow? Nicknames such as Sunny (in English Sunny), Zlata, Gold.
The owners of the blue parrot also have where to apply imagination. Forget-me-not and Aqua - great nicknames for girls, and something like Indigo or Pigeon. White bird can be called Snezha or Snezhik. The main thing is to include your own imagination and discuss this issue with your loved ones.
For lovers of budgerigars it is no secret that sex has a great influence on the behavior and talkativeness of birds. If the girls are calmer, then the boys are mostly exceptionally chatty.
When there are doubts about the gender of the pet, you can use the neutral version of the name.
Favorite letters

With the pronunciation of "a", "o", "and", "e" parrots do not have problems, but "u", "I", "e", "y" - can cause difficulties. Feathered and consonants like “p”, “k”, “p”, “d”. It is better to refuse the soft sign, especially which is in the middle of the nickname, and choose an option that is simpler for a small pet.
