Goralka08 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ohhh she is very beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks. I think her coloring is really nice but best of all she is very sweet. Hand fed for 5 months with lots of extra attention. Someone else had a deposit down on her and never came to pick her up. On the 25th I have to drive 4 hrs one way to pick her up. But I think she is worth it. I am open to suggestions for girl names. I had Whisper for about 2 weeks before I chose her name. I do not have multiple bird syndrome.:silly: 2 is all I have the time and finances for. They are already calling me the bird lady at work. I live alone and don't have much social life. I am happy just puttering around the house with my birds to keep me company.

LisaM Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Girl names - ~ Starbuck ~ Athena (Goddess of Wisdom) ~ Loki (Norse God of mischief and trickery...but still works for a girl IMHO) ~ Phoebe (Goddess of Wild Things) ~ Princess ~ Greta ~ Abby ~ Lilly ~ Maggie ~ Lucy ~ Jade ~ Kiwi ~ Carmen ~ Roxie That's my brainstorm for now. I'll come back after another cup of coffee if I have any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 What do you think about the name "Tinker Bell"? My grand daughter and I watched the movie this weekend and all that green and yellow kind of reminds me of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Tinker Bell is sweet. And "Tink" is a cute nickname. Your granddaughter would probably think it a great idea also! Plus, you could hardly get upset with something named TinkerBell (like if she starts shredding the new curtains, lands in the middle of the french apple pie you made just for special guests, etc.). I think the name said in an angry voice would actually sound pretty funny and would probably diffuse the anger quite quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I like the name TinkerBell too and you are right the colors are reminescent of the little fairy, sounds nice as it rolls off the tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyric Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Congratulations on your new baby girl. I had a blue front named Annie, I called her Anna Banana as a nickname, she was a real sweetheart. I like the name Tinkerbell too- that's really cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks guys. I am going to pick her up this Sunday. Looks like it is going to be closer to 5 hr drive one way. Oh well. I chose to make the trip for this bird because I wanted a sweet female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Well 4 hours or 5 hours doesn't matter as I suspect you would go much farther for the likes of her and I would too, she looks to be the sweetest thing. I can't wait to hear all about her and see some more pictures.B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Well day after tomorrow. I am so excited. I have been trying to get Whisper accustomed to a little less shoulder time and more playstand time so I will be able to spend time with both of them. Funny thing is now that I am leaving Whisper on her playstand longer she is talking more. She is practicing new words. Last night is sounded like something from a scary movie. Aaaaar youuuuuu a goooood girrrrrl? It was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Most will be more vocal when on the playstand versus being on your shoulder so that is good and yes you have to spread yourself a little thinner now that you have another bird on the way.

Char Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Little sister is home and settling right in. Whisper has not seen her yet since we got home late last night. Well it became apparent very quickly that the name will not be TinkerBell. Her name is "Mischief".:lol: Can you guess why? She is going to be an entirely different kind of bird than Whisper. Whisper is so good and quiet and sweet. This baby has a gleam in her eye that says "how much can I get away with?" :lol: I think the 3 of us are going to have a lot of fun together.<br><br>Post edited by: Char, at: 2009/01/26 16:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Char - :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That was my little darling Katie when I brought her home. She had that same look and immediate assertiveness that led to her "feisty redhead" reputation. That said, she's a wonderful bird and it's amazing to see how the various personalities come through. Also, I think the Amazons are more willing to start exploring new things than the Greys are so she may settle after she feels more familiar with her new surroundings. "Fasten your seatbelts...it's gonna be a wild ride!" And like Judy said, I think there are a lot of birds who will vocalize when not directly with their human pets. Probably more like "contact" calls in the wild where they're just keeping in touch. Mine don't say a word or make a peep when on my arm/shoulder/leg. If they're on their playstands it's an entirely different story. Have fun...keep us updated on how she's settling in and how Whisper & Tinkerbell/Mischief react to eachother. I hope they get along well but even if they don't you'll have a wonderful time. I think they "appreciate" the company of another bird, even if it's from a distance. Can't wait to hear more...and pics pics pics of course! :-) Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
