Shocking Bird News

You know those beautiful birds that Drew Jones gave me for my birthday?

You may know them as Zach and Slater.
Well, Zach (the yellow one)....
He's a she.

Yeooop.

I confirmed it tonight. You can tell by the color of their beaks and the yellow bird's beak is not the pale blue it once seemed...no my friends, it is a pinky-beige. And this means that yellow bird is a girl.

I actually forfeited the names Zach and Slater weeks ago. They weren't flowing for me. I have since tried to think of new names for them and have come up short. So I've just been calling them Birds. Or Birdikins. Actually I usually exclaim it like, "BIRDIKINS!" and they look at me blinking like I'm nuts. 

Anyway now that I know I have a boy and a girl on my hands I can rename them once and for all...and cross my fingers for birdie babies. Can you imagine?! Oh I would just LOVE me some birdie babies.

So, I need some help.
If you have any ideas for bird names please comment them on here for me.

Here are their bird portraits (if that helps):



 They are inseparable and spend their days beak to beak chirping at each other softly.

Thanks for your help!

  2. what beautiful birds!!! I love these two!!! so pretty....

    as for the name game, I think zach and slater are AMAZING names!! haha, but yet again, my husband and I always talk about how funny it would be if we went to Bayside HS. I mean, just the other night we made a reference to "the college years". haha, yes, we are THAT LAME.

    since zach is a girl, maybe kelly would be good? lisa? sorry...im still stuck on the SBTB references......hehe


    good luck naming those beautiful birds!!! :)

  5. aww how precious. they are such beautiful birdies. :)

    i am equally awful with names, so i'm only stopping by to suggest the method my friend forced upon me. i recently got two little fishies and she told me the two first things we saw upon leaving the store would be their names.

    so i now have two fishies named Sabo (from the Sabo's Camping building at olentangy & king) and Gordon (some delivery truck). hah!

    lauren- I love that you named them Sabo and Gordon! What kind of fishies are they?

    doody - I haven't seen avatar yet, I had to google those names to know what you are talking about! lol!! you're so cute.

    paulina - remember "the max" that's where we should go. Get some pizza, maybe break out in song or dance.
