I am curious how many of you changed the name of a rescue/rehome parrot when you got it.
What I really want to know..how many of you successfully changed the name of a rescue/rehome that knew and responded to it's previous name?
See, I kept Petey and Joey's name, although if I had named them initially I would NOT have chose either, too common and unoriginal, but they responded well to the names and Joey learned to say it very quickly and Petey already knew it. So the names remained. Zuri, on the other hand, was named Oscar when I first got him and since he didn't respond anymore to Oscar than Zuri or anything else, I changed it (do NOT like the name Oscar for a bird, specially for a Meyer's (erm "Oscar Meyer" anyone? (I'm sure a lot of the poor Meyer's out there name Oscar (and there are a few) were named that way because of this reason)).
So I'm curious to hear about other people..
