So I'm thinking my baby Sun Conure will be ready to come home within the next week! I've yet to decide a name, however.
I don't know if it's a male or female yet. That's actually a frustrating situation...the breeder agreed to do a DNA test for me for $30 extra. I assumed he was going to do it immediately so that I could be using the past 4 weeks to decide a name. But he kept putting it off, every time I'd text him asking about it he'd said "hopefully this week" or "hopefully in the next couple days". Finally a few days ago, out of frustration, I told him not to worry about it, that I'll just let my vet take care of it. He keeps saying he's been super busy setting up new pairs of birds...which is fine, but I feel as he should be putting his already paid customers as priority. But that's a whole other discussion.
So, if it's a female I'm leaning towards Melisandre (Game of Thrones), but I'd call her Melly for short. I'm not 100% settled on that name, however. If it's a male, I have no idea!
I'd like to avoid common Sun Conure names, such as Sunny, Skittles, Rainbow, etc.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

Try it out on your new Sun Conure and see what reaction you get-- parrots will often let you know if they like a name or not. Sunny may be the most common Sun Conure name, but I've run across more Greys, Amazons and Eclectus named Sunshine. You could go French with Soleil, or for a male, the Spanish for sun is Sol.
