I got a female canary Sept. 6. It was the day after we got back from camping. I have had fun with it. I am sharing it with my mom. We still have not named it yet. My mom wants its name to be Pretty Bird, I don't know about that name. If any of y'all people out there read this post, help me with a name.
I think it was the day after I got her that I actually got it to stand on my hand and eat seed off of my hand...just for a few seconds. To get seed she would get closer and closer then scoot over, but sooner or later she would get close enough to take a seed or two from my hand and scoot over and munch on it.
The way I got my bird was I worked for Miss Star White. She owns a store called Fine Feathers and Fins. She sells birds and fish. She also sells bird and fish supplies. And a few odds-and-ends that she special ordered for people and they never picked them up. Like turtle food. She had frog food because she once sold frogs but they are all gone now. Anyways I fed & watered her birds and fed her fish. So that's that.
Oh yeah! This is funny! My dad bought me a mirror for our bird and it had a seed holder where you can put her treat. Anyway, she will fight with her own reflection. At least I think that's what she is doing.
I may write more about my bird later. Well, I've got to go.

I kinda like "pretty bird"... it seems like you'd naturally walk up to it and sort of sing: "Pretty Bird! Pretty Bird!" (But I'm goofy like your Ma) How 'bout "Perdita" like from 101 Dalmations, but your mom could still say "purdy bird" and it would be like a nickname????
I'm so glad you're writing again. I have missed you.
Love, Aunt Cari
Like I said earlier, I think Amy is just a wonderful name for a bird. If you don't like that how about Monkey....
I don't have any suggestions, but I do think monkey would be pretty funny. I must say that it made me laugh to imagine the bird fighting with it's reflection..lol. Have fun with your bird!
I've tried, but you didn't like any of the names I suggested. Pickles? Pumpernickle? Penelope? Yer so gosh darn picky! Hey, how about Picky?
The first thing that comes to my mind is Tweety! =) Let us know when birdie has a name!
