What do you call ....

[lemonypickett]

Your bird ..... if it is not by its proper name. I was laughing about this a few days ago, and was wondering if I was the only fool out here :blush:

Eddie is.....

-Edward when he is bad,
- Bee Bee
- Beeber
and.... the newest one, and most rediculous .... - Beans !

Where is this coming from? :carrot:

What nicknames do you have for your fids?

[cp.lovebird]

Lots of silly ones!

Bee Bees
Boo boos
Birdaroos
Squeaker (for Squeaky)
Birdalers (kind of like burgalar)
Birds! (when they are noisy)
Birdies
Beebs

There are probably more but I can't remember them yet - I am still drinking my first coffee! :thud:

(keep in mind I've had over 14 years to think these up! :roflmao: )

Fenway is Fen, Green monster, mr. Green-man, handsome, pretty boy, and oddly enough I sometimes call him peas and carrots...>o
(His colors have always made me think of those!!! ):shrug:

Wrigley is Mr Wriggles, Yellow fellow, mellow yellow, handsome, Wrigley-TK(in honor of his previous name) and banana-bird.

Mostly I just stand by their cage and goo-goo talk to them and basically make any noise and/or cooing sound I can think of to get a reaction. :blush:

My puppy is usally the only one who responds....:rofl: :rofl:

[chromasnake]

Are we limited to terms of endearment? That seems, with me, to be mostly "Sweet pea" used with whatever lovebird I am praising or reassuring at the moment. Apple is generally "my Apple".

Anything else would have to be censored, since it is usually said (sotto voce, so Apple doesn't start saying these things) through gritted teeth while Tourmaline's beak is grinding into various parts of me! :bag:

[cp.lovebird]

I forgot the famous "Good Boy!"

My husband and in-laws always tease me about this one. :roll:

[NickyBeth]

I call Cherry quite a few things..

Chair-Chairs
Chairry
Pretty Bird (and she/he chirps back the same 3 "syllables" in response, but only when you are looking at the cage)
Pie-Pie

[carrier]

OH my goodness! I can't belive the ones I forgot!

I am usually calling Fenway "Naughty boy" and he probably thinks his name is No-No, because that is always being said to him as he taunts the puppy...In fact, I think this emoticon says exactly what he seems to be relaying to Gracie from an area just out of her reach in his cage.... :carrot:

And the one that is commonly used for both of them:

loud-mouth birdies :rolleyes:

[Gill]

When i wake them up or come back from work, or leave them i say "hello/goodbye little bubba's/bubbies" and if theyre peeping like mad i say "babys" to calm them a bit. Sometimes i call the pickles or chickobees! But mostly Bubbas! God knows where it came from! Sticky gets called Sticky beak and bobble gets called Bob Bobs! :D

[Kristina]

Fenway is Fen, Green monster

LOL! My Fenway has those nicknames too!

We also call him:
Fenny Benny
Brat Bird (he LOVES when I say "Bratty Brat Brat Bird")
Tweets or The Tweets
Cornish Hen (when he's bad, my husband tells him that he would make a great cornish hen :omg: )

[Z28Taxman]

Ditto answers to Yella fella, and flapster.

[Toneea]

I've got heaps now that Angus is Abby.
Mainly Abba-dabba-doo, Ab-blab, Flappy and lately, Sharka. :D
The parents are The Ferals, The Sky Sharks or (if they decide to be nice) just Babies. To my partner, they are 'The Other Ones' - they have no interest in him so hes not a huge fan.

[michael]

For Goofy its; Goof, Booger...we used to call our daughter BOOGER but finally decided to drop that when she reached the age of 21 (wife Laura calls Goofy Boogerbird), Lil-peepers or Peepers, Sweety pie :hug:, Boopers, and Knucklehead when he's full of mischief. We all do our very best to call him Goofy most the time, but then there are those precious moments.
