Growing a bird from a fuzzball to an almost real bird:
Growing a pup:
Teaching the pup about birds:
The bird (female3/4 Barb 1/4 Taita) is a natural chatterbox; not a food screamer-- just vocal. Names have been selected by friends from all along the Barbary's vast range; Lataat (Arabic) by Sir Terence Clark; Boltushka (Russian ) by Vladimir Beregovoy; Purchane and Waradj (Persian) and Farfaji and Lafasan (Turkish) by Dr Monika Dahnke. Daniela Imre thought "Balalaika".
I'm still considering--any votes or suggestions?
WE have also been gardening-- pix to come...

Perhaps she would be amused by the name "Sternella."
:-)
That would be "Nelly" for short!
We suggest Alvilda a swedish woman pirate along the barbary coast. She sailed, drank and plundered like a man.

If her screaming gets nasty, you can always call her Rozhok (Рожок), which is a much more annoying instrument than a balalaika ;)
That first pic with the doll is priceless
I like Alvilda AND "Rozhok". What kind of an instrument is it?
Alvilda is not an instrument, and in fact has none. She's a good woman. Aargh!
Lauri
No, no, Lauri-- I was asking "Max". I get Alvida!
Well, if we're suggesting names by ethnic origin or country of obsession...
I guess I gotta go with Billie Jean. And yes, I have a cousin named that. Good woman.
Hi Steve -
Beautiful, beautiful babies. As for names . . . nothing sophisticated, 'just for fun' names. Flo, Lulu, Pete & Consuela.

Speaking of balalaikas, I would like to get a Laika from Vladimir one day, and name it "Bala", but he'd probably never forgive me.....L.B.
