If you are looking for a bird as a pet, you are spoiled for choice. And the subsequent choice of name will not be easier. There are almost endless possibilities. To give you a quick overview, we have listed popular bird names from funny to cute below.

In a nutshell

  • Simple names
  • Named by appearance and properties
  • Cute names with cuteness
  • Funny bird names often unexpected

Criteria for choosing a name

Basically, you do not have to consider anything when choosing a bird name. You can choose any name you like. The most popular names are often selected according to the following criteria:

  • Look
  • character
  • gender
  • race
  • celebrities
  • meal

notice: Bear in mind that birds live to be very old. Parrots can live up to 100 years. So choose a name that will still suit the bird in a few years.

Classic names continue to be the most popular. Among the males, Hansi, Bubi and Micki dominate; among the females, Kiki, Susi and Tweety are the most popular.

Possible. You can not say this in global. Not all birds are gifted with languages. If you train the bird patiently, repeating its name often in connection with rewards, the bird may repeat the name. However, that is not certain.
