Tips for Naming Your Pet Bird

Before settling on a name for your pet bird, consider a few factors, like physical characteristics and personality. You don't have to name your pet bird right away, and it can actually help to wait until you get to know it better before deciding. Choose a name that is easy to understand—you don't want to pick a long name or one that's hard to pronounce which makes it difficult for the bird to learn or for any children in your house to say. Also, make sure that whatever name you choose is one you'll feel comfortable telling your vet, friends, and family.
