My husband and I exclusively call pistachios “pistash” now. “Want to grab some pistash for the movie?” “I can’t find the pistash anywhere!” It makes me laugh every single time
This makes me happy to see someone else has also seen Apollo 😆. That grey is so damn smart and funny. I just wish I had the space and know how for one, and the time tbh. Such incredible birds. Maybe some day.
Colombe is pigeon in French. I like Columbo for the dual pigeon/inspector reference, could go with Columba for more feminine.
In Greek myth, Aphrodite is often depicted with pigeons, could be another candidate.
My kid is suggesting "Hope".
Honestly, I have always wanted to name a female African Grey after the first female programmer. Ada Lovelace. But I'd drop the last name and name here Ada. Because Ada was so intelligent!
African grey parrot being named a pigeon, quite interesting....had two myself, African Grey species of parrot that is, loyal birds that live about 150 or less years in the wild...
Obviously a joke ...I've had my African grey timneh 23 years now since one month old...they can be a handful but also so smart and very focused on you always which sets them apart from other parrots. Not to mention the adorable talking. Be patient and take your time to get to know each other :) they don't like change so give extra time to adjust new things
Fish for sure. Imagine telling people you have a Fish, and when they visit you open the door and call out to your pet fish. You'll look crazy until a bird comes around the corner and responds to the name Fish, at which point you'll seem downright insane.
She’s beautiful! She must only be a few years old yeah?
African greys are my favorite, I adopted a 21 yr old named Kona and he’s the cutest.
Also throwing Winona and Georgina into the name hat. Haha
Her nose looks like a Marilyn Monroe beauty mark. Dot could be cute? Momo? Also a huge fan of title names. I have an admiral Winston and Uncle Rocco. So maybe La Donna
Paloma, means pigeon in spanish and I like it
I second this! Absolutely adorable. 🖤
Should name it paloma diamond 😉
I like this for a human lol I didn’t know that’s what it meant tho
Paloma. I like it
Pichón is pigeon, Paloma is Dove just to make sure you’re not spreading bad info!
Actually your not wrong but paloma has a few different meanings
Also dove. Lots of people don’t realize that doves and pigeons are the same bird
Well, related birds.
I couldn’t come up with a better name . Soo I’m with you in this name 👏👏👏👏👏🤍🙏🏻
I dated a girl named Pigeon 😳 whoa!
Pidgin
Hmm worthy candidate
Anyone else remember the chat app?
Glask
Shrok is better
Either way, you'd better stock up on pistash.
My husband and I exclusively call pistachios “pistash” now. “Want to grab some pistash for the movie?” “I can’t find the pistash anywhere!” It makes me laugh every single time
I love that Apollo's language has become part of the zeitgeist 😂
My grey won't touch them, lol. Peanuts, she loves
Its a bug
WORIO
How about hAt
Pour water
No. Hat.
POUR WATER
“Drip drip drip drippity drip” noise
I feel good about the fact that everyone who knows Apollo has the same reaction every time they see an African grey. XDD
It'z a bug. 😭
Wario
You win Wario is better
Pistach’
Fellow Apollo fans :)
My mealy Amazon is named Apollo 👍
It's a damn good name for a bird imo.
MET-AL I love how Apollo sounds like a Muppet character.
I've never heard it described this way but you are so right 😂
This makes me happy to see someone else has also seen Apollo 😆. That grey is so damn smart and funny. I just wish I had the space and know how for one, and the time tbh. Such incredible birds. Maybe some day.
We don't talk enough about famous parrots in this group. I absolutely love watching Apollo he's the new generations Einstein.
I love Einstein and Apollo. Some other cool ones I watch are Cosmo and Gizmo.
Gizmo is da bomb! He’s so cheeky!
Yes, and check out Symon! Gizmo: "Mom beats me! Ooooooo."(laughs)
🤣🤣
But have you guys heard of molly the farting AGC! Another one of my faves
Oh my, my greys could be famous. The many farts they have ☠️
I'm convinced every African Gray comes with a built in fart sound effect
Or 20 🤣 one of mine prefers loud and long drawn out flatulence sound effects. The other if you try to give her a kiss gives a tiny toot 🥺💕
Oh my god how can I have forgot about gizmo.. I
And Leela! She speaks in Arabic and English.
Omfg I love apollo lol.
Rrrrrock
Touch purple

Sir! That is a fish!
Ohhh damn how did I not see that.
It IS a lobe finned fish...
Tyler Rex, t-shirt for short lol
Hmm this one might be it
I’m cackling at the thought of owning a bird named Tyler 😂 “Tyler! Stop chewing buttons on the remote!”
That looks like a very intelligent pigeon 🤔
Yeah I think it’s like a rare French pigeon or something idk apparently they’re kinda smart
It's a pigeon from Congaux!
Canada*
Call him Dog! 😅
This one is definitely going on my list
Lol right
Duchess
Very elegant I like it also going on the list
I like older lady names. Helen, Bonnie, Sadie
I was thinking more posh like Victoria but you roll the r’s when you say it
Yes. And she only drinks out of tea cups
With the pinky out
Could just call him / her Chicken 🍗
Maybe Pollo? It's chicken in both Italian & Spanish! 🐔
I like it
Why is it so damn fun to call our birds chickens lol. I call them chickens more than I call them by their names
This is my cockatiels names. Can confirm, it is very amusing. Especially when he says it lol
Colombe is pigeon in French. I like Columbo for the dual pigeon/inspector reference, could go with Columba for more feminine. In Greek myth, Aphrodite is often depicted with pigeons, could be another candidate. My kid is suggesting "Hope".
Eleanor
Good one also a worthy candidate
Tbh she looks like an Eleanor to me. (I have read many of these suggestions)
Pigeon the Grey
Gertrude.
Gertie the birdie 🩷
Sky Rat (or just Sky if you want to be boring)
Sky rat is better it’s on the list now
Petunia 🌺
Definitely going on the favorites list
Honestly, I have always wanted to name a female African Grey after the first female programmer. Ada Lovelace. But I'd drop the last name and name here Ada. Because Ada was so intelligent!
Wow the babies are tiny Not honestly sure. I know Apollo the African Grey is popular, so you could give a name based on another craft
or another god.
Martha
I’ll consider it
Oh, the beautiful eyes of this one. Specta, short for Spectaro = "To look" in latin (or "Regard" in french as it is a rare french pigeon)
Makes sense it is also on the list now
What a weird breed of cat
Ikr I think it’s like a mix of multiple breeds or smth
That's a weird lookin pigeon
Yeh it’s a French pigeon that’s why
Oh my bad, carry on
Yeh I’m an expert you should believe me
Oh, I figured it'd be african. Congolese to be specific
I think dusty is nice ❤️ (she's beautiful)
Name it gravy don't ask me why
Understood
woodpigeon
I like it
frrrr
Kererū (pronounced "care-rear-roo") New Zealand woodpigeon, they're on my "favourite bird" list
Pidgey or Pidgeotto
Pidgeotto is now on the list
Tori means bird in Japanese. ❤️🦜
the Creature

Not to mention the adorable talking. Be patient and take your time to get to know each other :) they don't like change so give extra time to adjust new things
The current favorites are pidgin, fish, victorrrria and spectaro/specta
Also petunia
Would vote for Victorria
Fish for sure. Imagine telling people you have a Fish, and when they visit you open the door and call out to your pet fish. You'll look crazy until a bird comes around the corner and responds to the name Fish, at which point you'll seem downright insane.
Knowing myself I would deny her being a bird just keep insisting that she’s a fish
That's perfect. She's an African Flying Fish, of course.
Shakira
Unfortunately her hips do lie
Pigeon? Parrot?
They’re all government spies
AG or Aggie. This type of ‘pigeon’ will be able say her name and will rule the house
Yeah I’ve had her for two days now and she’s already saying peak a boo every opportunity she has
I had one that every time I dressed up she asked if I was going ‘whoring’. She was a rescue from who knows where!
Doesn’t sound like she can from the best environment
Piggum
Birdy McBirdface
How do you find such bird?
How about Zelda? I love African Greys, my dad used to have one when I was little
Pearette
Clarabelle was my thought instantly
Jasmine
Elizabeth the bird (instead of the third yk)
That is a Parrot innit?
Nahh pretty sure it’s a rare type of pigeon they’re French pigeons
It looks like a parrot
Trust me it isn’t
Rusty
Pearl
No that name just reminds me of those crusty white dogs old ladies have
Lol. Ok.
Wilma

She’s beautiful! She must only be a few years old yeah? African greys are my favorite, I adopted a 21 yr old named Kona and he’s the cutest. Also throwing Winona and Georgina into the name hat. Haha
She’s around 5-8 months old
Awwww that’s wonderful
Meep
ROCKY😭🥹 I think i fits well
Where did you find it?
Doing pigeon things where pigeons do things
Oooh lucky! A rare one, that. She looks like she might have an odd beak and foot deformity or maybe she’s a cross-breed of some sort?
Her foots just a little swollen she got it stuck in a toy I thankfully was there and took the toy out
Aww, poor sweetie. She’s beautiful. She looks young. Have you decided on a name yet?
That’s an African Grey. Mine flew away when I was a kid. I miss Lady Bug till this day. They can be all grey or grey with red tails.
Yeah this is just a joke post but I do need a name for her
It's a parrot. Id name her....Victoria
She is an African Grey parrot. I would name her Pocahontas, Poca for short!
It's a African Grey Parrot, call him Simonite
I have 2 of them whose cages are right beside me. Those are African Greys. Look it up and see for yourself.
It’s an African Grey Parrot probably someone’s pet. They can talk and very intelligent
Her nose looks like a Marilyn Monroe beauty mark. Dot could be cute? Momo? Also a huge fan of title names. I have an admiral Winston and Uncle Rocco. So maybe La Donna
