Loving owners always assign names to their pets. It is not difficult to choose names for tame pigeons. When choosing nicknames, they are guided not only by the sex of the bird. You can also take into account the physiological characteristics of your pet (habits, plumage color, size).

How to decide
Purebred birds are usually given long names. When choosing, it is advisable to select an option so that when addressing your pet you can soundly abbreviate the name. For females, the following options are suitable: Esmeralda - Esme, Geraldine - Dina, Josephine - Josie, Patricia - Zia, Charlotte - Charlie. It is recommended to adhere to the same principle when choosing names for purebred males: Antonio - Tony, Archibald - Archie, Ricardo - Ricky, Churchill - Chile.
If the flock of pigeons is large, it is not recommended to choose similar names so that the pets do not get confused. If the gender of the pet has not yet been determined, you can choose a neutral option: Ricky, Mimi, Toto, Hipa, Chelsea, Bobo.
If there are a lot of birds, it is difficult to choose a nickname for each pet. Although, for sure, there will be favorites or individuals who stand out clearly in appearance or character traits. In this case, nicknames are still selected for several pigeons.
