Every pet parrot should have its own name. However, it is not always easy to come up with a nickname that suits him. After all, you want the name to be sonorous, unusual and at the same time emphasize the characteristics of the bird.
So, if your parrot is a talking one, then you should choose a “speaking” name for it, which reflects the character of the bird, indicates a bright appearance and funny habits.
You should not choose a nickname for your future feathered pet before purchasing or immediately upon arriving home. You need to get to know your new friend better in order to then give him the name that suits the bird most. After all, a nickname is given for life, and renaming is not recommended. Even if you purchased a parrot from another owner, you should keep the old name, since changing a name is a lot of stress for a parrot.

For girls, Margaret is suitable, in honor of the great Margaret Thatcher, Cleopatra, Jeanne, remembering the courageous Joan of Arc, Lisa, in honor of Queen Elizabeth.

Budgerigars and simply cool names are suitable for boys: Chacha, Bob, Cookie, Chappie, Pinky.
Finally, I would like to note that when teaching your feathered friend his nickname, remember about censorship. Parakeets very often decide to speak at the worst possible moment, and a swear word can be uttered at the best time. Therefore, choose your nickname wisely and remember that it will last for a long time.
We wish you a good choice!

Recommendations for choosing a name for a winged resident
Of course, you may not even think about what to name your parrot if it is not of fundamental importance to you. We offer interesting options, but it is, of course, up to you to decide. If you find it difficult to decide, then our advice can help you with your choice.
There are several principles by which names for a parrot are chosen.
- Convenience. Wavy himself should be able to pronounce his name easily.
- The nickname should please you and the pet itself.
When choosing a nickname for your wavy, consider the following points:
- The gender of the parrot, because it is known that boys have better ability to remember and, accordingly, reproduce. Girls, on the contrary, are more silent. Therefore, it is better for boys to choose a simpler name, but for a girl it can be a little more complicated. But if you doubt the gender of your bird, then you can give him a neutral name.
- Character. Budgerigar chicks begin to show their temperament from the very first days in their new home. But if you are not sure, then you can wait a little with the name and come up with a suitable nickname over time.
- The size of the bird and its plumage color. For example, large boys can be called Arnold, Maxi, Jupiter, and small birds Kid, Pencil, Zipper.
- We do not recommend that you use the names of relatives, as they may not correctly perceive such a “gesture of respect.”
- Long names may seem very beautiful and unusual to you. But your wavy dog may not perceive it well, will not want to pronounce it and will not respond to its nickname.
Rule #1
According to research, it is much easier for parrots to pronounce their name, which is built on hissing sounds and the letters “ch”, “k”.
Nicknames containing the letter “r” are also liked by almost all parrots.
Rule #2
Considering that “talkers” recite their names, you also need to pay attention to the vowel sounds that are included in their names. For example, the simple name Ksyusha - a parrot will pronounce it something like this: “Ksyu-yu-yu-yu-yusha”
For example, the simple name Ksyusha - a parrot will pronounce it something like this: “Ksyu-yu-yu-yu-yusha.”
Rule #3
Of course, you can teach your “talking” pet such sounds, but this will take at least several years.
Do you really want your budgie to unlearn its timing after such a long period of time?
Rule #4
Fans of original names, like Merry Poppins, need to think about the fact that a double combination of words can cause parrots some difficulties not only in pronunciation, but also in perception. It’s easy to name, but not so easy to learn.
Many ornithologists argue that most birds, which have already become accustomed to their double names, are not able to respond to any part of the nickname that sounds separately.
Rule #5
When giving a parrot a female or male name, you need to make sure of its gender. However, this is very difficult to do, especially since there are types of budgerigars that have virtually no signs of gender.
Of course, you can go to a specialized veterinary clinic, where qualified veterinarians will conduct research to determine the sex of the bird using DNA.
However, not every owner of a feathered friend is ready to shell out a fabulous amount of money for such examinations. But you can choose a simpler way - call it another nickname.
Rule #6
Such similarity will cause doubts in the parrot, it will get confused and, in the end, will remember its name incorrectly.
Rule #7
It is worth noting that choosing a name for a parrot is only half the battle. The second component is the successful memorization of the name by the bird itself.
You need to talk to the parrot constantly, trying to pronounce its nickname smoothly, in a gentle and calm voice.
Only such training can guarantee a quick and high-quality result, because a name pronounced in this way cannot cause a feeling of fear and danger in the pet.
Rule #8
Repetition is the mother of learning. This saying is also good for teaching a parrot its name. Try not to miss the opportunity and pronounce your pet's nickname in different expressions and sentences.
If you follow these recommendations, your parrot will quickly get used to its name. Having taken a liking to it, the pet will begin to chatter all its free time, that is, always.
What sounds are suitable for a name?
The most important requirement for a name for a parrot is ease of pronunciation. The bird first remembers this word and highlights it by ear. The next step is the ability to respond. When the pet masters it, it can begin to reproduce the name on its own.
Having set the task of teaching a parrot to pronounce its nickname, the owner must be patient. The pet will not speak immediately. Moreover, the easier it is for him to pronounce the word, the faster this will happen. It should be taken into account which sounds birds cope with without difficulty, and which ones can become a stumbling block on the way to reproducing human speech
Important: cockatiels and other capable birds can imitate any sounds. They do not find it difficult to reproduce words. Even fancy nicknames are suitable for them.

How to choose a name for a parrot
If you buy a bird at an early age and without a name, then you should use your imagination and take into account some points. Remember that on average small parrots live 8-15 years, and larger parrots live up to 50 years. Therefore, you need to choose a sonorous name that will not annoy you.
What to look for when choosing a name:
- Gender of the parrot
- Parrot size
- Ability to speak
- Parrot species
- Features of behavior
- External signs, plumage color
- Reaction.
It is important to choose a name according to the gender of the individual. Agree, a boy named Asya sounds pretty stupid
But in some species of parrots, sexual dimorphism is weakly expressed. By the age of 1 year, sexual differences begin to appear more clearly, and then it becomes clear whether it is a male or a female.
But keeping a parrot without a name for a whole year is quite problematic, especially if you communicate and pay attention to it every day
In this case, it is worth choosing a universal, neutral name that will suit both a boy and a girl. For example, Bonya, Zhenya. You can also later replace it with a consonant name, or add letters. For example, replace Nick with Nikas.
If there are children in the family, you should take the choice of name more seriously. Children will play with the parrot and repeat its name often. If it is awkward or not sonorous, it can begin to irritate. Also, in a family with children, you need to choose a simple name that the children can pronounce. If the parrot's name is difficult to pronounce, children will begin to distort the sounds, and this is how the parrot will remember the name.
If you come up with a name for the parrot, agree on it with all family members. Perhaps someone may not like it and they will give their own nickname to the parrot.
When choosing a name, choose simple words with 2-3 syllables. A parrot may not be able to understand a longer name or may not be able to pronounce it.
As soon as you bring the parrot into the house, let it get used to the new environment and get comfortable. Then you need to establish contact and tame the bird in your hands
Observe its behavior, consider the color of the plumage, pay attention to the parrot’s reaction. Depending on its behavior and characteristics, you can choose a name for the parrot
For example, a large and important cockatoo with a majestic look and posture is more suitable for the names Zeus, Hephes or Caesar. And the names Kiryusha, Romka, Almazik are more suitable for active parrots with a playful character
Choosing names for boys parrots
There are also tips for choosing names for boy parrots:
Thus, there are a lot of parrot nicknames for both boys and girls. The main thing is to follow the recommendations, take into account the breed of the pet and its ability to speak
. And of course, the nickname should please all the people who will live with the parrot.
What to name a boy's parrot? This matter has its own subtleties that need to be taken into account. Many of us want to call the boy's budgerigar beautiful names.
The nickname should be one that you personally like, and the bird will be able to pronounce it freely.
It is necessary to call your feathered friends with short, sonorous names, in which the hard letter R is often used.
Such a nickname can not only become a beautiful nickname for a feathered friend, but will also allow him to speak faster and learn to pronounce his name. The most suitable: Patrick, Gavrik, Lavrik, Rafik, Renat, Ray, Radik, etc.
They begin to talk earlier than girls, and males are very capable of learning.
When choosing a nickname, preference should be given to clear and short ones. This will allow the bird to quickly remember its nickname and pronounce it regularly. You can call the boy's parrot Gosh, Gog, Kesha, Zhora, Gora, Tosha, these nicknames are very soft to pronounce and are easy to reproduce. Fans of original nicknames can offer the following options: Kiryusha, Kerry, Heinrich, Ludwig, Marquis, Oscar, Philip, etc. The bird itself will like such nicknames, since they are very proud, affectionate and beautiful.
When choosing a nickname, be sure to monitor the reaction of the bird.
To do this, write down in advance on a piece of paper the nicknames that you like best. Go to the cage with your feathered friend and take him out.
Place it on your hand or table, and then slowly begin to say each nickname from a piece of paper. At the same time, you should observe the reaction of the boy's budgie. You must pronounce nicknames very clearly, trying to pronounce every letter. Try to do this experiment several times, while observing your pet's reaction. Perhaps the budgie boy simply didn’t understand what you were saying the first time, so try to do this several times.
The name that he likes more than others will cause a response in him. He will start flapping his wings, turning his head and looking at you. Remember this option, because it will be the most suitable nickname for your feathered friend.
Favorite letters and sounds
When choosing a name for a budgerigar, keep in mind that not all sounds can be easily pronounced by the bird.
Particular favorites for parrots are:
- consonant letters “p”, “ch”, “sh”, “d”, “g”, “f”, “zh”, “k”, “sch”, “p”;
- vowels “i”, “a”, “e”, “e”.
If you don't care whether your pet talks or not, you can choose a name for him that contains your less favorite ones:
- consonant letters “m”, “ts”, “l”, “n”, “s”, “z”;
- vowels “o”, “ya”, “yu”, “u”, “e”.
Important! Choose names for budgies that do not contain a soft sign, especially in the middle of the name. It will be very difficult to pronounce such a nickname.
What to name a boy budgie. What to name a boy budgie
You bought a budgie and are wondering what to name your new pet. First you need to find out what gender he is. If the bird is older than 3 months, then this is very easy to do, since young parrots gradually change the color of their beak. In an adult bird its color is already more saturated. In females, the beak color is grayish-white or brown, while in males it is bright blue.
Instructions
1
The older your pet is, the smarter and more vulnerable it is, the more difficult it is to tolerate separation and get used to a new place. When choosing a nickname, start from the fact that it is easier for parrots to pronounce whistling, hissing, growling sounds. Choose a short name that will appeal to all family members. Nick, Fritz, Bruce, Dick, Boy, Hera, Gigi, Kuzya, Kesha, Mitya, Tima, Fedya, Yasha, Gosha - these are simpler names, suitable for a parrot of any size and color.
2
Tishka, Kopusha, Motley, Shurshun, Shalun - your pets will like these funny nicknames because they themselves will be able to pronounce them. Remember that choosing a name is not an easy matter. You will have to constantly use this name, and the bird will respond to it
Please note that parrots easily reproduce words with hissing sounds, as well as the letters “k”, “r”, “a”, “u”. You can choose a nickname after your favorite movie character, for example, Robinson, Tarzan, Captain, Caesar, Martin, Figaro
3
The name of the bird can emphasize some of its features. Nicknames such as Arnold, Sylvester, Felix, Ronaldo, Aragorn, Aristarchus, Jackson, Napoleon, Nikusha, Ricardo, Rubik, Fidel, Churchill, Eugene are suitable for medium and large parrots, but it will be difficult for the bird to reproduce such a name. It is suitable for a male who is able to speak faster than a female.
4
Alex, Borya, Kuzya, Chick, Yusha, Chucha, Ollie, Motya, Coco, Zheka, Hedgehog, Bonya, Ara - these short nicknames will appeal not only to you and the children, but to the parrot, he will quickly get used to such a nickname. Remember that you should not call the bird a nickname; everyone should have their own.
Helpful advice
Whatever name you choose, remember that you should start training with your bird only after it already trusts you, that is, it begins to sit on your finger. Practice with her for 30 minutes, every day, if possible at the same time. A bird can speak within a couple of days or after a few weeks. Some parrots are so capable that they can learn up to 1000 words.

Nicknames for talking parrots
Finding a beautiful name for talking parrots is a little more difficult. This is explained by the peculiarities of the speech of these birds. So, they do not pronounce the letters “l”, “m” and “n”.
Rules for choosing a name for talking breeds:
- The word must contain hissing and whistling sounds. You can use the letters “r”, “w”, “s”, “z”, “zh”.
- If a word has many vowels, the bird will recite it.
- The name must consist of one word. The bird will not remember double options.
- If you replace the nickname that the parrot is used to with a diminutive version, the bird will not respond to it.
- You should not call the bird the same as family members. Subsequently, the parrot will not understand that they are addressing him specifically.
Basically, talking parrots remember their names quite quickly, and over time they begin to pronounce their nickname on their own. The main thing is to create comfortable conditions for him. If the bird likes the place in which it lives, the process of learning and adaptation will go faster. Do you know how to teach a parrot to talk?
Simple nicknames for talking parrot boys:
- iPhone;
- Gosha;
- Yasha;
- Grisha;
- Pierre;
- Alex;
- Max;
- Vasya;
- Charlie;
- Fidel;
- Pushkin;
- Houston.
If a bird is slow to learn pronunciation or imitates sounds in its own way, you should not get upset and force it to speak the way you want. Moreover, it is absolutely forbidden to hit her.
How to choose the right name for a bird
The correct name for a bird is the one that suits and merges with it. They do not call their wards by hateful and offensive nicknames. And if you got a parrot from another owner, then it is not recommended to change the name, unless you choose one that is consonant. After all, for a bird, changing its owner and name is double stress.
Don't forget that a bird with its own name will live its whole life, and if it talks, you will hear it dozens of times a day. So the nickname for talkers needs to be chosen especially carefully, and it should not be long - this way it will be easier for the bird to remember it. But if she is talkative and smart, and also large, then she will remember even a long nickname consisting of several syllables without difficulty. It is desirable that it contain hissing and whistling sounds: “sh”, “s”, “ch”, “ts”. Suitable for birds: Gosha, Caesar, Czech, Tishka, Stas.
The letter “r” may also be present in its composition: Patrick, Roger, Romka, Dzherik, Reddy.
These birds really like to stretch out vowel sounds, as if singing them. They are excellent at drawn-out “o”, “yu”, “a”, “e”.
The sounds “l”, “m”, “n” for some species of birds, for example, for budgerigars, are difficult to pronounce.
Experienced poultry farmers advise taking this point into account when choosing a name for a feathered boy. Some species of parrots are not sexually dimorphic, making it difficult to determine the sex of the bird. In such cases, it is best to call the bird a neutral name that does not determine gender: Jackie, Billy, Dobie. But if you named the bird Kiryusha, then the name can be changed to Ryusha, Sanechka - to Manechka.
It is not recommended to give your pet a double name, because he does not perceive the second part of it and simply will not finish it. And the owners themselves later leave only the first part for convenience.
If you see certain trends in the behavior of a bird, for example, nimbleness, excessive energy, then you can call it Zipper, Nimble. Many owners give their pets the names of their idols. Then the Tysons, Gerards, Sheldons, Kurts, and Batmans appear in the cells.
It is also recommended that when choosing a nickname for a feathered friend, you immediately think about how it will sound in a diminutive version. This is also important.
Features of choice
When choosing a name for your winged pet, you should take into account the fact that over time the bird may start talking. This means that it should be easy to pronounce. When choosing a nickname for a male parrot, it is recommended to listen to a number of recommendations.
- The nickname should not be long, but parrots easily perceive clear and clear sounds. Birds especially love words with the letter “R”. The most popular short names that include growling sounds are Garik, Marik, Patrick.
- Names that have the sounds “K” and “Ch” are suitable. Parrots easily remember and pronounce them. This category includes the names Casper, Chizhik, Charlie.
- Some breeds, for example, macaws, prefer to pronounce words with long vowels, so the options Korzhik, Kesha, Kerry, Henry are suitable for them.
- There are varieties of birds that find it difficult to pronounce the whistling sounds “C”, “Z”, “S”, and the letters “L”, “M”, “N” also cause difficulties, so if possible, try to avoid names with these sounds.
Parrots usually remember their names quite quickly. If an adult bird is purchased from another owner, it is not recommended to rename it - the parrot will have difficulty accepting the new nickname. To help your pet remember its name better, you need to repeat this word every day many times in a calm voice. As soon as the parrot appears in the house, in the first days it does not feel safe, so you should talk to it kindly. Feeling the warmth in the voice of the new owner, the male will become bolder and gradually begin to engage in conversation, repeating his name.
As a rule, a pet may be dissatisfied with a nickname if it is too long and has sounds that are difficult to pronounce. In this case, the bird will shorten its name or pronounce it in a different way. For example, instead of the complex name Aureliano, you might end up with something like Ariano.
Bird family
What should you do if a pair of budgies has settled in your house? Some owners believe that they should be given names that are consonant - after all, family. Others reasonably believe that the birds will get confused between their own and other people’s nicknames, and offer a quite nice option - the names of “paired” movie and cartoon characters or something created by analogy:
- What do you think of the names for the sweet couple - Chacha and Chicha? Bonnie and Clyde
- Winnie and the Pooh (or Kanga),
- Banana and Kiwi
- Kika and Kuka (Coca),
- Mickey and Ricky
- Hera and Terra
- Toshka and Totoshka,
- Chacha and Chichi.
Most often, the first word a parrot says is its own name. Therefore, the owner must decide what is more important for him - so that the pet learns to pronounce its name as quickly and clearly as possible or the originality of the latter, so to speak, “for visitors.”
Choosing a nickname for a feathered pet
A new pet has appeared in your family, and you just can’t decide on a name. Of course, this is not an easy task, because parrots live not a year or two, but more than 10 years. You must approach the choice of nickname with all responsibility so that a true friend appears in your life. The name of the parrot must also be given taking into account its vocal characteristics, so that it will soon learn to pronounce its nickname. Various names for boy parrots and names for girl parrots can be found further in the table.
General recommendations
Often, owners of birds choose nicknames for them without thinking about those around them. Think carefully about what to name your parrot. You should not choose an obscene or abusive name for a friend, so that he does not suddenly shout out his nickname, for example, in front of children. It’s better to give cool names that, on the contrary, can cheer you and your guests up. A non-speaking parrot can be called anything you like, but a speaking one should be given a special name. Long nicknames are difficult for parrots to pronounce; you will have to work with your pet to teach him to pronounce his name correctly and beautifully.
The hissing sounds, “ch”, “k”, “sh” are best mastered by parrots. Birds also like the growling sound “r”; they easily learn to pronounce nicknames containing this sound.
Much attention should be paid to vowel sounds. Parrots pronounce words melodiously, that is, they draw out the vowels “Go-o-osha”
Parrots have difficulty pronouncing sonorant consonants: “n”, “l”, “m”. Some species have difficulty pronouncing sounds such as “s”, “z” and “ts”. Of course, after long and hard training, the parrot will be able to pronounce them. But don’t you want your pet to be screaming its name after the first lessons?
Sometimes parrots are given double names, for example, Mickey Mouse, Merry Poppins, Sherlock Holmes. When giving such a nickname to a bird, be prepared that the bird will only respond to its full name. It is unlikely that you will be able to accustom your parrot to its abbreviated nickname. Choose a name that is convenient for both your pronunciation and your pet’s pronunciation.
A parrot can be called:
- by the name of your favorite movie character: Terminator, Shrek, Stirlitz, Rocky, Zhiglov, Ricci, Rassomakha;
- by the name of a literary character: Azazzelo, Holmes, Watson, Gulliver, Lannister, Lolita;
- by name or surname of famous people: Sentra, Putin, Kalashnikov, Pugacheva, Kobzon, Tyson, Twain, Pushkin, Murphy, Kutuzov, Rokossovsky.
Take a closer look at your parrot, maybe some features are noticeable in its appearance or behavior... So name it based on its features: Zipper, Whirlwind, Storm, Tenderness...
Most often, it is very difficult to determine the sex of parrots; not even every experienced ornithologist will be able to identify a male or female at first glance. Therefore, you can choose a neutral name for the bird, so to speak, unisex. Often they buy a couple of parrots at once, so the question arises of what to name a boy’s parrot, and what to name a girl’s parrot.
A successful choice of a nickname for a bird does not guarantee that it will be instantly learned. You need to exercise your pet for at least a few minutes every day. The nickname must be pronounced affectionately, gently, in a loving voice. Over time, the bird will get used to its name and will try to repeat it. Don’t scold your pet if he doesn’t succeed, because everything needs to be learned. After the parrot has mastered the name, it will begin to learn other simple words and then form phrases. Females are more suggestible in terms of learning.
