I have been wanting a CAG for about four years now, and I am finally getting one!!!!!!!!! I will go pick it out this Friday, but will not get it home for about three weeks.I am soooo excited I could barely sleep. Any suggestions for a great African name?Looking forward to all the help I can get. I have read the book "Guide to a well behaved parrot", and researched the net for some time now. This forum will be a great help. Thanks all in advance.
Shawn ;D

Here's a big list of African names (I like Jengo, Kande, and Malik): www.babynames.com/Names/Search/search_adv2.phpI also saw a CAG on an adoption site named Fumbo, which means mystery (they have no idea where he came from). I thought that was kind of a cool name.

Thanks for the ideas, and the resource. I appreciate all the help I will get, as this will be my first parrot. I am sooo looking forward to it. I just hope my dog will be accepting to the new addition to the family. Any suggestions on how to introduce a mini snauzer to a baby CAG?

;D Thanks for the web address of the names, it helped a lot. I chose "Juji", it means a bundle of love. I went Friday and chose her. She is nine weeks old and beautiful. She is 450 kilos and fledging already. The next three weeks will be torture, I can't wait to bring her home. ;D

How exciting that you're getting a new Grey soon. I just got my first baby this past Monday 6/27/2005 He'll be 4 months old this Sunday July 3. I did a search on the web for African Names and I decided to name him Khamisi (kah-MEE-see). It means "born on Thursday." I choose that name because I liked the sound of it, but also because his hatch date was 3/3/05 which was a Thursday. :-)

Very cool. I actually picked up Juji early. I picked her up last night. (6/30/05). She is adjusting to her new cage and our dog. We have a terrier and it seems like it will be very difficult to get the dog used to the idea of having a bird as a friend. I hope in a couple of days it gets better.Well I am happy to have her home, and happy for you and your new bird. I also like the name you picked, how fitting. Good luck!!!! P.S. I hope to post a picture soon.

It's been five days now and the dog is starting to get used to the bird. She is still jealous, but she is coming along. P.S. Why can I not insert a picture in my message?
