Hi, I am an avid reader of the forums, and it never fails to bring a smile to my face when I read the names each of you call your budgies.

 

What I am wondering, is for those that have big aviaries etc, with many many budgies....do you name all of them, or just special ones?

 

I can't even imagine an aviary with 50 or so birds, each with a name, my memory would let me down badly!!

 

So do they all get names?

I name the special ones Too hard to name budgies when you may have 30 grey greens that all look the same though

I number them

you have 260+ as it is, naming them would be unfair on those who did not get a name :rofl:

i name all mine but hey i dont have hundreds lol

At any given time I have 150+ budgies .... they all have a ring code and surprisingly enough many have names but it's more of a case of "Jeff's Cobalt cock split for opaline" or "Cec's Lutino cock split blue". Of my own bred birds there is only one "Magic" and "Magic's sisters" but also "that bloody Violet hen".

ahhaha like the last name

ahhaha like the last name

 

Alas, it is well deserved ....

I name all my birds, but I dont have that many!!

at "that bloody Violet hen"

I only have 9 and they all have names so thats kinda cheating!

i name my budgies i say you are a good looking budgie sorry i dont i got to many

Thank you all for responding, I loved reading your posts, and all the names,.

All my budgies are named. But my best friend has 50+ parrots. And they are all named! (I know their names too acctually)

I have about 20+ budgie and they all have sentimental names! But, I need to admit I didn't name one budgie for about 2 months after I got it, and even then I don't totally agree on the name. I have one hen, still un-named from 2+ weeks ago . But otherwise I name all of mine

ahhaha like the last name

 

Alas, it is well deserved ....

 

shes a beautiful violet hen shes no trouble at all i think i will call her renee ren for short

200+ budgies and all have ring numbers but do I name them all........ I don't think so.

 

But I do know the ring number and lineage of most of the birds that I use for breeding (maybe not the first year I use them but if they are in the breeding room for a couple of rounds I get to remember them quite well whilst completing the chick records).

Just wait till you get her into the nest box - mark my words!

I only have thirteen birds so they are all named : Romeo, Julliet, Maxi, Snap, Crackle, Pop, Oliver, Skye, Splash,Piper, Sunshine, Elly and Bubbles.

 

I also have a cocktiel named Moe. I cannot imagine naming all the birds in a large aiary. I tend to get my kids named mixed up but not the birds ..LOL!

I keep 150+ birds. And I name mine either Keeper or Cull!.

 

I'm similar to nubbly i know the breeding of most of my birds without looking up their records.

Same here but I only have around 50 so it's not that hard to remember them all. Some of mine have names as I encourage the kids to name the ones I think will remain for a couple of years. And it's a way to get them involved.

Sad to say that some of mine have names. The 08 Nat winning Albino is "blondie" and I have a handy fallow called "Eddie Maguire" because he is everywhere I look. Some purchases get named after their breeder - a bit like farmers naming dogs. But that is as far as it goes.
