Patty, Pat, Pat, Patrick. Catchy.

He doesn't strike me as the type who recognises his name... so if you guys find a good befitting name for him I am sure he'll be happy to be re-christened

A random list of names that popped into my mind:

Clark
Elmo
Kermit
Milo
Ralph
Ramsey
Sundance
Tango
Wyatt
Wallace

I tried to keep some people names since you like giving birds people names. I like the first two.

Are you sure he's a boy? Because Pat would work for either sex. Just like on Saturday Night Live in the olden days.

I like Clark and Ralph!
Absolutely no idea about the sex, apparently they are not possible to determine visually

No, you can't. I knew you would like the name Clark. I thought it would suit your flock. Didi, Angelina, Frank, Keith...

Oh Barbara I could have cried when I saw his pic... he looks so sad... I'm sure once he settles he will look and be a different bird...
I like the name King Patrick! or Sundance, sounds nice for him.... maybe Growler.... LOL...
Good luck I'm looking forward to all the updates... I bet after a month he will be a totally different bird... ( Yep he sure does have a good strong beak) gloves! A very good strong mesh
pair) Mind your fingers...

Ive been looking at his photo.... he looks like

Orville...... Barbara, remember the green bird! LOL....

lol omg Orville, how ugly was he!!!!
Yes he really looks sad, his posture is all hunched as to shield himself from the outside world, isn't it?! But I am happy to report that he is settling in his new cage a lot better than I expected: He ate an entire bowl of mixed foods, destroyed part of a wooden ladder I put in, made a lot of funny whistles when I showed him some fellow senegals on YouTube: he definitely recognises his own!
The ladder was supposed to help him move around but he has other ideas about it

Tomorrow I will let the cage open and see what he does. I was told that he is a very bad flier, due to his lack of exercise, so he will end up on the floor for sure... and that's when he bites
We built a veeeery long mesh ladder that goes from the floor to the cage opening, and I hope he will use it to get back in the cage on his own. If he doesn't... well I will need something really thick to pick him up with but I'd rather not make him scared of me even more than he is now!

I have a lot of good news about our gargoyley King Patrick
He relaxed gradually, to the point of flying on the curtain poles, and climbing out of the cage to reach the piece of cardboard I put there to tempt him out.
Also he forgot his fears when the tiels went on his cage, and spent a lot of time chasing them away
He kept looking at his image reflected in the metal bowl, even regurgitated on it a few times, so we thought the best thing for him was to be with a fellow Senegal.
He is now in a new home where his cage is located next to another rescue boy, and hopefully they will become best friends soon.
