How the Bird Name Generator works
This bird name generator gives names for pet birds: bright names such as Kiwi, Pip and Mango for budgies and cockatiels, bigger names such as Rio and Captain Squawk for parrots, puns such as Tweety Pie, and pairs for birds kept together.
How the bird name generator picks names
Small birds such as budgies, cockatiels and lovebirds suit short, bright names, often after fruit or colour, Kiwi, Mango, Skye, which suit their size and plumage. Large parrots are long-lived personalities, an African grey or macaw can live fifty years or more, so names like Rio, Zeus and Calypso have more weight. Talking birds learn sharp consonant sounds more easily, so Pip and Kiwi are often picked up quickly.
Naming birds that talk
If you hope your bird will say its own name, choose one with a clear, repeatable sound and use it often. Budgies are surprisingly good talkers and many learn their name first. Avoid names that sound like commands or other household words, and be careful with puns, since the bird may repeat them for decades.
