My best onomatopoeia for birds naming their chicks bird sounds are – apparently – squawk and peep!  Those names are better than some names I’ve heard for regular humans, but hey… who am I to judge what people name their babies?

Meanwhile, parrots do name their offspring as proven by Venezuelan scientists.  According to PopFi,

Thanks to video cameras pointed at the nests of green-rumped parrots in Venezuela, researchers from Cornell University discovered that parent parrots vocalize a specific chirp at each chick beginning soon after birth. Those specific name chirps are applied to that individual throughout its life. Like a human teen going from Edward to Ed, the chirp may be altered a bit later in the bird’s lifespan. The scientists believe the names allow the social birds to keep up with who is who within their flock.

That’s just kind of magical!
