Bird Names

Bird names tend to go one of two directions: something that nods to flight and color, or something absurdly grand for a creature that weighs four ounces. Both work. Parrots and mynas especially seem to respond to names with hard consonants — Kiki, Rex, Pip — though that may say more about the humans who report it than the birds themselves.

The list below covers a range, from the classic to the unexpected. Use the Male or Female filter at the top, though for many birds the distinction is invisible until a vet tells you otherwise. Each name has a short note on what makes it a good fit.
