A serveral   weeks ago (july 3)  I found a fancy grey cockatiel   very dishevveled , hundry and  dirty in the middle of a soccer field. He has   a black band over his eyes that make him look like a bandit  or Zorro if you romantically inclined.  Ive advisertized inthe apers and at the humane society and at several of the  vets and bird shop  that speciallize inbirds in  the city  No owner yet   The vet suspects he was let go  which is such a disgrace that people actually do that.

im looking for a name as we are all (5) of us in the family with opiniated names selection  and cant agree  so we thought we go to the experts and ask you for a name

Hes difinitely male  and he must of lived close to a construction wharehouse or his owner was in construction worker or owner as he makes all kinds of noise like  construction equipment

Some very irritating.  like that beep beep noice when a heavy machine backs up

the dadadadadada of thoes big drill that go into cement roads to   ZZZZZ sound of a chain saw   and he does them indifferent tones.  soft   med  loud and very loud  depending on his moods  hes very smart as in about  two weeks that he'd been here hes picked up my sons cell  phone ring  and the sound of our doorbell.  Now he also does the beep of my dryer when its finished and just last week he made a new sound  -   the  chime of my cucoo clock     Hes not big on whistlin. He only whistles a tweet   or one note  whistles  Hes more into noises  He makes the brushing of teeth sound,   and several sounds that we have not  yet identified.

I want to call him" Zorro"  and my husband wast to call him "lucky" ( because we found him)  my sons wants to  call him" Tool Man" and my other two  want to call him  "  Boo"   and  "GANGSTER"    because he walks with a limp and spreads his wings slightly to make himself  look tough  and his walk is very dramatic  

 

We had him  checked out and hes very healty   and just last week we introduced him to Marques our cockatiel  and they are fine together  but  has a fear of hands    you cant pat him or give his scritches  with hands but you can with your toes or your lips if  you stick them out far enought  .   Hell sit on your shoulder but wont let you touch him  I suspect and so does the vet.   That some yahoo owned him  had  flick his fingers at him etc etc  Atfirst he would only eat from your mouth  but I discouraged that very quickly  and he now eats from his dish or now from your hand if you keep your hand about an inches below his feet he wont go near you if its at his body level

any ideas   we will vote on the names as a family  and since there is five of us we should not have a tie

thanks guys
