I feel like changing my old one! It's incredibly boring and uncreative, and I want a new one, damn it! :heh:

How about "pale headed white rumped barred breast blockhead" :heh:

Seriously, I did a little research. Due the the fact that they are songbirds and they paralyze their prey by severing the spinal cord, I thought of "Paralyzing Songbird".

Hee! I thought about "Butcherbird," but I'm not sure yet.

Well good luck in finding the right name. I think it is a great idea to use a creative name that describes your interests.

I'm hoping I can come up with a good one. I just haven't found one yet that really screams at me. I'm not the most creative person in the world, as evidenced by my current SN. :guess

I like Spanish Mockingbird too. I know what you mean though, when you hear "the one", you will know.

The Loggerhead Shrike reminds me of a penguin. It almost looks like it is wearing a tuxedo. I love it when people post about something interesting that I've never heard of. I like researching and learning about new things.

It's an awesome bird, if a little irritating when you have to be out in the field for 8 hours a day when there's a 100+ degree heat index, with no shade and no birds to be found. But it is a VERY interesting species.

memphis belle?

memphis belle?

I'm not from Memphis, though, even though I would LOVE to live there. Crossville belle or Richmond belle doesn't have quite the same ring. :cry

I sorta like "birdbrain," but that might be asking for it, considering the tone of the board lately.

I think that is hilarious!! That one made me laugh. It sounds like a fun name to me. :heh:

Fancy Mocker?

Masked Songbird?

Freebird?

I dunno, it won't hurt my feelings if you don't like them. I'm having fun trying to create a new name for these birds. I have no life and this sort of thing excites me...........did I just say that out loud?

I like those, but I'm really starting to like birdbrain. I'll think on it for a couple of days just to make sure, though.

Lauren, I think you should have something that sounds intelligent.

You are a very intelligent person. I don't think birdbrain fits you at

all. Has WASA chimed in yet? She would have an opinion , I am sure.

yes, but i saw you were banded in memphis....close enough

I'm sorry, I don't get changing names, maybe I'll want to change later, though. Ya never know

I know you as Laurend, I LIKE Laurend. And I know I'm talking to Lauren, or as with Denise822, Denise... or in my case, Faith.

Guess mine wasn't that creative, either. LOL!

Completely unrelated.. sue me.

But the uvula comment made me laugh.

I had a uvula-ectomy.. when I was about 10.

And I was going around saying I had my vulva taken out :rolleyes

And anytime I said I had my uvula taken out, people do pause.

I like Shrike all by itself. There is something cool about names with just one syllable.
