Welcoming two new show budgies to our aviary flock! Name suggestions?

[reeb]

Hi everyone!

So since Sunshine's passing, I've been toying with the idea of bringing a new show budgie into our flock, but I wasn't really serious about it until today.

I recently made contact with Pearl and Opal's breeder to give her an update on their progress, and she mentioned that she had a few show budgies that she'd be happy to offer to me.

She sent me a bunch of photos, but one really caught my eye - and I thought BOTH birds were gorgeous. They are both 2 years old, aren't related, nor are they related to Pearl and Opal, so that's great because it extends my gene pool.

I'm going to go and fetch them this weekend, and do the quarantine/vet process. I can't wait! I think they'll really enjoy being in our aviary with the rest of the flock in the aviary.

So, now I have to give them names! Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is a photo:

Sapphire is great! One of my first show budgies was named Topaz though, so I need to find a another good name!

Marigold for yellow? The only blue flower that I know (I’m not much of a flower person lol)is Forget-Me-Not. Kind of a long, silly name for a budgie. Although you won’t be forgetting him/her

That male us a stunner! Love the violet colored budgies! If I had an aviary of them, I'd love to have some that looked like him!

"Blue names"... hmm.... Oxford? (as in Oxford blue) Periwinkle (aka Peri), Geranium (aka Ger), Indigo (aka Indi), Larkspur (Lark/Larky)...

I have seen a macaw called "budgie"... and there is a flower called a "grape hyacinth"... and "hyacinth" is also the name of a macaw.... so there's that option! LOL


"Purple names"... Anemone? Orchid... Aster... Cosmo/Cosmos... Heliotrope... Mystic merlin...




First "name" that comes to mind for the female is "Saffron"... but then again, I had a pail yellow female years ago that I had named Saffron. (like the yellow spice sold in stores which might not actually be saffron)


Flower names though... Marigold, Rosa, Lilium (Lily), Tulip, Daffodil (Daffy), Chrysanthemum (Chrissy?), Jessamine (Jessy), Primrose....

So I fetched them today, and I decided to name them Periwinkle (blue male) and Buttercup (yellow female)!
