Now I just need a name....

She is yellow...and she is a girl....hmmm....

I was thinking about Molly...but that is a little close to Polly...and the whole, Polly wants a cracker thing...

Any suggestions?

What about "Tweety".

I had canaries for years, and usually watched them for a few days before naming them. Birds each have distinct personalities, and often something about their behavior provides a great name, or reminds you of someone to name them after.

How about Lucy. If she is tame and friendly, she will most likely be very entertaining and comical at times. Lucy reminds me of lunny.

I love budgies. I've had several over the years. My favorite was a male named Fred. He was the smartest one I'd ever had and was an expert escape artist which, in the end, proved to be his undoing.

One day he managed to escape from his cage and flew right into the ceiling fan that was never running when he was allowed out.

For a lady budgie I think I would go with something like Sadie or, as she's yellow, Sunny.

Sorry to hear about your Budgie, Mason! Sunny is great name!

Yeah..I let mine out yesterday for a few, and she flew up and down the hall...and went right to the fan.....

Right now she won't budge in her cage....she will go onto my finger, and let me put her anywhere in the cage, and then remains glued to the spot....

I guess she still needs a few days to get used to her new home....

We had one named Blue Boy. We loved that bird and had so much fun with him. He was flying free in the house one day when my sister was visiting and she opened the back door (which was a BIG no no) and out he went. He flew up high in a tree next door and we tried to coax him back down but before we had any success a rain storm came and we never saw him again. I hope he found a good home.
