Parrots can live longer than 50 years, so it’s important to pick a name you’ll love for a long time.

I took the time to ask several long-time parrot owners their advice on selecting the perfect name for a new bird. The following is what they shared:

• Pick a name from another language that has a special meaning.
• A favorite movie character’s name can be fun.
• Test out several names on your bird and gauge his reaction.
• Name them after your favorite food, but be creative. Like instead of ice cream, how about gelato?
• Take the time to observe their behavior and personality before deciding.
• Get a baby names book to find a meaningful name.
• Name them whatever you like, but know that your bird may decide to change it. Mine was Azure, but now he goes by Sanchez!
