Pictures of my new fid & name

[indybirds]

Okay, so we went to visit our new fid on friday :icon_smil Unfortunately I don't think he really "remembers" us yet, but that's ok. It took him a bit of time to settle down after they got him out of his cage, but he was eating from our hand in no time flat, really. Nothing like a little tempting millet, eh? I remembered to bring my camera with me! I hope I added the pics correctly...

Anyways, we decided that since we weren't 100% sure of the sex, we didn't want to give it a gender specific name. And if s/he gets home and we think of something else that would fit better, we will use that instead. But, when we removed all the gender specific names from our latest list, we were left with Echo and Lingo. I think Lingo is cuter, and we are very much computer geeks who use jargon/lingo all the time, so I also thought it was appropriate for us. Whaddaya think?

I LOVE Lingo, but I really like Auguste, too. It can be for either - boy or girl. And it's really a new name. :icon_smil How about Speck?

Auguste is kinda cute, but I don't know if I could get used to saying it... I like shorter names usually. Speck would be sorta weird for me, because there's a chain of petstores here called Speck's <VBG> Thanks for the thoughts, tho!

Thanks all! Yes, I can't believe I still have 3 more weeks to wait... ARrrr!!! Well, 2 weeks and 5 days now, actually. But still!

Ya know, when I saw those photos the first name that came into my head was Sundae because he looks like a chocolate sundae! He's awfully cute and I'm pretty sure its a male.
