How do you pronounce "Bijou" and a naming question...
BIJOU
Gender: Feminine Usage: English

Means "jewel" in French. How is this pronounced in French? I assume it's a noun, since it's called an English name, but that doesn't matter because I'm naming a bird. :) Any other girly suggestions for a dainty, feminine blue parrotlet would be appreciated! I'm also thinking of Arabella.-Neo
