Khatmandude Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I just bought a 4 wk old African Grey parrot, male and need help in coming up with a good name for him. I have a couple in mind but want to hear other ideas. They are extremely intelligent birds and can have thousand of words and phrases in their vocabulary and can speak in context. Very cool birds. Suggestions? Here is what they look like: [img]http://www.theanimalcompany.net/Images/FirstPics/Timneh0019.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must choose the name carefully, because a bird will be your long-time companion. I only wish all animals would go to sleep when you put a blanket over their cage.
