New addition to my flock

Post by wilkifam » Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:27 am

Picked up this handsome lad yesterday. Need name ideas. I picked up the fellow in the background too, but he is for a friend. They are both doing quarantine at my house.

Beautiful!

"George". Everybody needs a George.

(it's sort of a running joke in my house, now. Unfortunately, our budgie George passed away this winter. I miss George.)

Yes boy. All SF Yellow (Dilutes) are male.

Kind of liking Romeo

Does the George come from the "I will love him and hug him and name him George"?

Nerien...when one of us is not feeling "like ourselves," we say that we are "George" today. Its amazing how quickly it caught on with friends, family and even the families of the babies I treat :) .

OMGosh Lori!!! LOVE that episode of Bugs Bunny!!!
I like the name George too... :) . But this guy reminds me of my Luigi, so that's my suggestion :)

Yes, it does. Bugs Bunny was first with that, but then it appeared over and over on Cyberchase, whenever Delete saw a bunny, especially, or any cute little thingy. We were very big Cyberchase fans, until the kids got just too old for it, and also figured out that the real purpose of the show was not entertainment but teaching real life math.
