The quest for a decent bird name continues. The sun conure in question is playful, loving, a blazing yellow-orange, and loves to roll around, lay in the palm of my hand, and nuzzle up in the space between my bicep and chest. Today I considered various musical names:
• Cadence
• Chroma (from Chromatic Scales)
• Brio (from the Italian con brio, meaning with spirit!
• Salsa
• Tempo
• Trill
• Tutti
Of these, I am leaning toward Chroma because it’s also an obvious reference to his bright colors. Gweepay, Sweetie and I also ran through the seven dwarves and the seven deadly sins for names, but nothing really grabbed us. (Sneezy? Wrath?)

UPDATE: We’ve narrowed it down to Rudy and Blaze. Rudy’s in the lead because Blaze is a wee bit too “in your face” for my tastes.

I still like “Blaze,” if only because it sounds like the name of one of those AMERICAN GLADIATORS! Remember that show? I’m also partial to Rudy. There are tons of cool guys named Rudy. Rudy Ruttiger. Rudy Giuliani. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Rudy, for short). The list goes on and on.
All together now: Ru-dy! Ru-dy!
