Desert Pirate Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 I just got a new parrot and I hame having a hard time trying to find a good pirate name for her. She is a green cheeck conure and just the sweetest little thing . Please help "There is no safe place in the land of Spain. We'll take the ships and we own the Main."
Stitch Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 How about Parthenope or Ligeia or my favorite Leukosia. Each being names of three of the Sirens from greek mythology whose form for some time were half woman an half bird and were later changed to lower half fish. Thier sweet singing lured sailors onto rocks. Arrrrr

Desert Pyrate Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Stitch, fer usin' Greek names, ye be gettin' me approval. As ye may know, I be a student o' ancient Greek. Unfortunately, my good old Greek-English Lexicon isn't givin' me a word for "parrot".
Stitch Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Aye...I be a lover o' greek mythology for a long time now...especially any tales were the sea an mariners be concerned. I wishes ye many years o' enjoyment with yer new shipmate... :)
Stitch Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Aye...Royaliste, once again ye be reveal'n yer unique style... I was need'n a good chuckle about now...
Desert Pirate Posted April 15, 2004 Author Posted April 15, 2004 I thought we would go with a classic and call her Grace O’Malley but thanks for all the help "There is no safe place in the land of Spain. We'll take the ships and we own the Main."

Scarlet Jenny Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 I hope ye'll be postin' pics o' her... How can we name her without a pic? Avast, ye limey lubber! Didn't ye think if Scarlet Jenny (Cutthroat Lass, Scourge o' the Seas, Deadly Duchess o' the Deep) hated ye, ye'd be sliced, skinned an' sunk to Davey Jones' locker? Aaaar! Ye would, and ye'd better start believin' it

Rumba Rue Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 I must have tried a hundred plus names for my parrot when I got him. He didn't respond to any of them. Then just for laughs I said, "Gilligan", and he perked right up and gave a cute squawk. So I tried it again, and again he squawked. So it seems he not only picked his own name, but when I bought him, I took him around the store to see which cage would be suited for him, and held him out and he picked the one he liked the best (he didn't want to leave it!). That little bird truly has surprised me! Another gal I know, bought a green cheeked conjure and named him "Smee". He's just a really sweet lovable little guy and hasn't bitten anyone! Best bet, just try lots of different names and see if you get a reaction from your little bird to any of them. Unfortunately Conjures don't talk. My little Senegal is talking up a storm!

Merrydeath Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 Trinket is nice.. or trinny for short. How about Echo, since it also means to 'parrot' someone?

Katarina Leigh Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 If it's not too late, I think "Echo" is a right fine name. o'course this all makes me want a bird so badly... "Dum Spiro Spero"- "While I breathe, I hope"
AkashaZuul Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Unfortunately Conjures don't talk. My little Senegal is talking up a storm!Rumba Rue **Polly want a carcass?** Conures definitely talk! Ferdinand, our cherry-head/mitred cross conure talks like crazy. We just had him DNA sexed, and on the day we found out he was a boy, he learned his name, and said: "Fer. . . di.. nand. Ferdinand. Good bird. Ferdinand. Arrrrr! Pirate Pirate!" He says "Who's the conure???", and "Hi!", and "Chicken", and about a dozen or so other phrases. Next is "dead birds tell no tales". It now takes him about 4 days to learn a new phrase if I repeat it often enough to him while we play. The best part is hearing him practice his new words while he thinks we're not listening. Now the problem is getting him to shut up. He's a very special bird that we rescued last year. You can read his whole story on the Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue site. Ferdinand Good luck with your bird!
