My Other Hobby

Some of you already know that I enjoy taking care of my little parakeets.
I believe the last time I posted about them I had a little albino names Sugar and a lutino named Sunny. This summer, through the Talk Budgies forum, I learned that they were both females.
Since then I have bought two more parakeets that are males. One is a blue one that I named Smokey for it's smokey color. The other one is a little Sassy one who is yellow with a little olive.
Sadly my Sunny girl passed away from some unknown reason. I buried her out in my rock garden by my garage.
About 3 weeks ago, I was in an unexpected situation where a bird breeder offered me a little baby Sun Conure that had some disabilities. It was about 2 weeks old and only had one wing and the point of it's beak is missing. I brought the little thing home with me and I've been hand feeding it. This is a brand new experience for me. So far it is doing great. I've had it for over three weeks and it is really growing and becoming a happy little Conure. Here are some photos.

And here are my two newest parakeets, Sassy and Smokey.

My Birdie Has a Name

After searching and going over so many names and taking into consideration all the suggestions, I have chosen Sugar! She (or he) is a very sweet bird and it just seems natural to call it my little Sugar.
Thanks to all who suggested names. I considered each and every name many times but after all that, Sugar just seems to be the right one.
Sugar was suggested by Crafty Sue. Thank you Susan, for naming my parakeet!

Name the White Birdie

I have a beautiful little albino parakeet that has no name. I've had this little parakeet for a couple of months but I have not come up with the perfect name. One problem is that I don't know if it is a he or a she. It has a friend that I named Sunny because of it's beautiful yellow color. I was told that Sunny was probably a female but after getting to know both of these parakeets behavior I really believe Sunny is a male and the white bird has more behavior of a female birdie.
I am looking for a name that could be used for either gender or maybe a name that the spelling could be changed and still sound the same if needed.
