I just cannot believe how much I adore these two little birds. If I could, I would turn my whole bedroom into an aviary, but because I lost one of my bleus after only two weeks, I don't think my heart can take the loss of another. I have finally accepted that my remaining bleu and my new society finch are just fine. When I brought the society fince home and put them both in their new cage, the society finch was kind of rude to the bleu so I started calling him "little bastard" or LB for short. I know. . .it's not nice, but he wasn't either at first. Well. . .now they have become friends (kind of) and slept side by side for the second time last night. It's time to give my new little one a decent name. I could use your suggestions. He's the light brown and white colored variety of society finches. I believe that is called fawn?? Anyway. .. both birds seem healthy (much to my relief) and it's time to make him permanent at home and in my heart.
Name ideas anyone???

the society sounds like a female as you have not mentioned it singing and you can easily find out the sex of the cordon

Sexing: All three Cordon Bleus are easy to sex visually. Males will always have more (and brighter) blue coloring than the females. The Red-Cheek females will not have the red-cheek.

Compared to the bleu that died, this one was a little more brown on the head and not as bright. It sings though and I thought only males sing. I have been referring to her as a "she" and have been calling her POTUS, as I named the other one Leo (after the West Wing). I know. . . I'm a geek, but I loved the show. I figured the President could be male or female so POTUS was a good name for her.

If it's a blue cap cordie and has brown on the top of its head it's a hen. I love all of these names!
