Re: Please help me name my Congo African Grey parrot
in reply to a message by Lily8
Well, a Roc bird is a mythological gigantic bird (Indian mythology or Middle Eastern, I can't remember), so maybe Rocco if it's a boy would be a nice name for a parrot.Years ago, on a show here called Burkes Backyard, a budgie won the talking budgie competition, and his name was Juicer, which I really like for a bird too.Other names;
Rudy - my beloved (long deceased though now) birds name.
Otto
Queenie
Trinny
Aello (name of a Harpy in Greek Mythology)
Ocypete (Ok-sip-it-tee), also a Harpy.Have fun with your new bird, they are wonderful pets, lucky you!

Thanks! I like Rocco but my sister doesn't I will try to convince her, though. Otto is the name of our granpa (who died) and our turtle (named after grandpa) so we can't use it. Aello is sweet I'll ask my sister about that one. Do you know how it is pronounced ?

eye-lo (as in an eyeball) is the proper latin pronunciation for the ae dipthong. HOwever, I personally prefer the pronunciation ee-lo.
