Hi Ray, nothing as exotic as that. Just a little grey and white Cockatiel. Found some hand reared youngsters on Gum Tree this morning, 4 hour road trip tomorrow , found one that looks a lot like him.
Not as exotic looking as a lot of our parrots, but they sure do have personality.
He had perfect timing too, better than mine actually. He’d bob his head up and down when he or someone else whistled a tune .He loved bashing spoons, especially on glass table tops, the more noise the better. Frustrated drummer, I think. Haha

He’s going to be a hard act to follow.

Hey, that was an obvious I named him after you, or were you hoping for a bird naming competition?

Problem is ,if I went for a different name, I’m that scatterbrained nowadays, I probably end up calling him Charlie by mistake, imagine this poor confused bird. Haha

I'm crushed!

Gary

YOU're crushed. How do think Nigel feels? Hey, if it turns out he talks a lot, Rikki could rename him Donny. Or, if it sings out of tune, we could name him....uh, naw, let's quit while we're ahead .

chas (aka Charlie)

Awe, now I feel awful
Got it King Charles NGD 3rd. Haha

Yes , might be a good idea. Haha.

Actually learnt to be a bit careful naming my pets, I named one of my little dogs Daisy, love the name, didn’t occur to me at the time that it was also a friend’s nickname. She was not impressed. Too bad, called my next dog Daisy too.
