Need a name for my new bird

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I have been trying to come up with the perfect name for the perfect bird I got this morning... but I am having no luck.

I want to match the name to its personality.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :bowdown::bowdown:

[Chrissy and Flock]

Larry might help if we knew a little something about this perfect bird :D we want info plz.

[too&me]

A picture would help. Perhaps "Surprize" might be a good name.

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I will get some pics and post later this evening.

Let's see...

I know she is femal (hen).

She is mostly brown with light brown on her chest.

She is very nesty.

She is a good eater - but most of the time she just pecks at her food.

[too&me]

"Fluffy" the chicken? If she is femal are you mal?

[Bambam]

Larry..do you have a banny chicken? Come on now..tell us:umm:

Freida

[Bambam]

oops..Lucky would be a good name..if you get my meaning:dancered:

Freida

[Anne-Samantha's Mom]

how about naming her after Rua???? or Jill???

[Bambam]

Anne..I think that Rua or Jill would be the appropriate name..Peggy named her Ita toa tony afrer Jill..I do wish Larry would tell us..but I think he's going to ride it out..just to see how may hens will cluck til he tells us:rofl:I can hardly wait...:yahoo::exct::dancingg::dancingg:

Freida

[birdie]

how about copper?
and while you're posting, how about a pic of that Baby of yours? you wouldn't want her to feel left out.

[Julie]

Ok, I don't know what kind of stunt you are pulling here Larry.... You are alwyas telling us how you are a "one bird home" so what gives here..... Skeptical minds want to know!

Mocha

[birdie]

Mocha~ Julie, I like that. Unique.


Now, I can't resist this...

How do you catch a unique rabbit?
~you neek up on it. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Larry, Baby and Me]

On the serious side... how long is the quarnteen period???

[too&me]

Quarantene should last for 30 to 60 days or whenever you Vet says ok.

[Larry, Baby and Me]

Thanks...

I don't want her to get around Baby until the quarnteen period is over.

Unfortunately our home is small. Baby's cage is in the living room and the other cage is in the living room as well. We only have a two bedroom and my office takes up one of them.

So - my problem is --- where to keep the new bird.

I have her outside for the time being... but I do need to figure it all out.

Fortunatly the weather is warm here in Florida.

[birdie]

did you find a baby robin??

[Julie]

So are you going to give us any more hints, or make us all wait?

You should know that I DO NOT LIKE SUPRISES....

Oh, and you said a name to match her personality.... What is she like?

[bonnie]

LARRY!!!!! You better tell us about this bird!!!! I'm getting antsy!

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I am trying to do five things at once here. I had a client all day... I just got in - I have to take care of two birds... get something to eat... oh boy.

Okay - She is the sweetest thing. She has all her wing feathers but she won't or maybe can't fly - she is a bit over weight. I don't know - maybe she is too fat to fly.

She is a little shy. She comes to me when she wants to.

I don't think she was ever taught how to step up.

She loves it when I make the kissy sounds. She perks right up and looks around and then looks me straight in the eye.

She really is sweet.

I don't think she can talk.... but she makes

[Larry, Baby and Me]

Darn... I hit the enter key.

I am trying to post a pic - but it is not working.

I will try again.

[Chrissy and Flock]

Larry is it a tiel?

[birdie]

did you get on of those new little robotic parrots?

[bonnie]

You're about to get a phone call Mister Larry!!!! GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[FoxersArtist]

You are so bad Larry! We're going to call her Lady Loco, a gal after her papa's own heart.:D

(MBS struck so bad after hearing about Bhodi, he had to run out and get something. I wonder if he'll be sleeping on the sofa tonight?)
-Anna

[bonnie]

Here lately I've had bad MBS... I just never expected Larry to act! I bet he's just tricking us... :P

[Patty, Linus and Co.]

Well, let's see...Um, Chicken is taken so that's out...

[bonnie]

Patty... LOL
How about Dirt... since the bird is brown? LOL Or... um... Well, you can see how original I am. I have a bird named Chicken. LOL

[Larry, Baby and Me]

Hey ladies - cut me some slack.

No -Anna - I am not sleeping on the couch... not tonight at least.

I am trying my best. I am sitting here in front of this computer and eating my sup at the same time. Trying to get this camera to behave so I can post a pic or two.

She is the sweetest thing. But I am worried about her not being aable to fly. SHe is an adult - but she is very overweight. Maybe that is the reason.

[Julie]

So, ladies, what do you say?

Has Larry been "hen-pecked" enough, should we let him be to eat his dinner in peace?

By the way Larry, are you eating chicken for dinner tonight?????

[Larry, Baby and Me]

Okay - razzz me if you want.

Meet my new bird.

[Julie]

Larry,

Are you sure you want your new bird in the house?

She is a cute little hen though! How did she come into your life?

[birdie]

OH! Larry's 1st bird was a chicken, he got another:smiles:

[bonnie]

YAY LARRY!!!!
Call her KFC!!! HAHA

[Uncle]

We have a wooded lots on each side of us. Since we bought this house five years ago - I hear the roosters crowing in the distance on one side of us and then on the other side I hear another rooster crowing in the distance. And they keep that up for quite a while... talking the night away to each other.

So, it was not a surprise when about a week ago - it got a little brisk at night. I want outside to take a little walk and I spied a chicken perched up on the windshield - on the wiper blades. She was keeping warm from the heat of the engine.

I talked to her and we got to be buddiesb over the next few days. She came back night after night to roost on the warm hood. My wife is not a country girl. She didn't appreciate that chicken roosting on her car when she went out to go to work.

But - surprising - that chicken sought be out during the day. I made little kissy sounds and she clucked back to me. We kept up this conversation for a long time. I then got her some water and some feed.

Now she is a permanant resident.

I do love eggs in the morning.

What do yo think we should call her??? The name Chicken is already taken.

[Uncle]

YAY LARRY!!!!
Call her KFC!!! HAHA

No Bonnie --- NO NO. :eek::eek::eek:

[bonnie]

WHAT!?!?!?! It's not like she'll actually BE KFC!!! LOL
Ok... So... How about Lucy. She's got the red on top of her head.
Or Big Bird because she's so fat.
Or Big Momma Because she's a hen.
Or 'EM, short for Egg Machine. (this would be pronounced like you know someone named Emily and call her Em.)
I'm running out of ideas!

[Chrissy and Flock]

Cute bird Larry... bet you gonna have lots of stories about this one. (Name suggestion "Chick-a-dee")

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I do like EM.

Leave it up to you Bonnie. :bouncing:

[bonnie]

Oh! Chrissy! I like that one!

"The Little Chick That Grew Up"

Here is a little story about me and why I have such a passion for birds.

I was 4-1/2 years old when on Easter morning my brother, my cousin, and I were each given little baby colored chicks. They were called Pee-Pees. Mine was blue and I named him Charley. Well - my brother's soon died and then my cousin's. But in my little hands Charley thrived. I got up early each morning to give him fresh water and food - I remember it was corn meal and the water bottle was something my Grandfather had rigged up. It was similar to the Lixit bottles we have today.

Over a short period of time Charley lost his blue dye coloring and turned a wonderful brown with little speckles of black and white mixed in. I kept feeding Charley and he kept getting bigger. When finally, my Grandmother didn't appreciate this chicken running around the house. So... it was decided to take Charley to my Great Aunt's farm where he could roam free and have a better life than running around in the kitchen under foot. You see - I was not consulted in this matter because I was only 4-1/2 years old. So off to the farm with me in the back seat and Charley on my lap. I do remember him looking out the window at all the wonderful things passing by.

We finally got to the farm... but I don't remember much about our visit there that day. I was told by my Uncle Frank that Charley would have a wonderful time with them and all their other chickens. And I could come back in the summer time to visit Charley. So I resigned myself to the fact that Charley was not coming back home with me but he had to stay with Aunt Annie and Uncle Frank.

Time passed... you know how it is with a small child - it was forever till summer. Then we took our usual summer weekend trip to the farm. I didn't see Charley anywhere. I tried to find him but he just wasn't anywhere around. Later that day we all sat down to Sunday dinner. We always had big meals when we went to visit Aunt Annie and Uncle Frank. You know the kind... mashed potatoes, gravy, peas, corn, and "fried chicken".

Yep... you guessed it... we had Charley for dinner - not as a guest - but on the plate.

I will be 63 years old by the end of this month and I can still see the entire event clearly in my mind.

So... now I think you have a better understanding of why I have such a passion for saving our birds.

Larry

[bonnie]

This story still makes me want to cry!

[bonnie]

:umm:I'm waiting patiently for a name Larry!!!

[Diane, Clouds assignment]

How about Perdie, short for Perdue . . . as in Frank.

[FoxersArtist]

I vote for Em...but you might as well call her Egg Machine Ma...that would be Emma. :)
-Anna

[Julie]

Can anyone remember the name of the chicken in the show friends?

:heha:

[bonnie]

Can anyone remember the name of the chicken in the show friends?

:heha:
Me thinks they had a duck....?

[Larry, Baby and Me]

I think Chicken would have been the best name - but that name is already taken... right Bonnie?

So - the winner is... Emma. Egg-Machine-Momma. :dancered:

[Julie]

Welcome to our flock Emma....:wave:

So Larry, are you going to build her a nice high resting spot in the back yard for her, that is protected from the weather? I'm sure she, and your wife, will appreciate it!

:hart:

[TikiTalks]

Can anyone remember the name of the chicken in the show friends?

:heha:
The duck was duck and the chicken was chick. "the chick and the duck"

[bonnie]

YEA!!!! Chicken is already taken!!! But I do love EggMachineMommA. That's GREAT!!!!
Welcome EMMA!!!!
