Meet Axel, my new rainbow lorikeet!

Those familiar with rainbow lorikeets may notice he has unusual colouring… he is a pied mutation. He came from Sydney so when I picked him up from the airport, I expected a slightly traumatised bird. Instead I got Axel… stepping straight out of the box and ready to play.
I’ve had him for 6 weeks now and we’ve had heaps of fun since then. The second night he started throwing up everywhere (mostly on me) so off to the vet we rushed, a day before his check up appointment was booked. Oh, and by rushed I mean we drove the complete OPPOSITE way for half an hour before realising and finally arrived at the vets an hour late. Axel was fine, and vet was surprised at how big he is! He’s still a baby, not even full grown. Axel forgave the vet’s manhandling and covered his face in licks.
He loves people with blonde hair and has given many friends and family members a scare by launching himself at their heads. When he sees me, he bounces up and down like a dog begging to be pet and puts his wings up like a toddler wanting to be picked up. Soooo cute!
He makes R2D2 beeps when he’s playing. He has recently discovered the joys of squeezing oneself as far as they can into a plastic cup. He’s getting better at flying… now it’s only half the time that when he flies to me, he ends up on the other side of the room skidding across the floor. And he’s a little *too* enthusiastic about his wet mix, there’s no need to scream in delight after EVERY mouthful.
He’s 15 weeks now. At 2 years, most of the green on his back will be gone, replaced with yellow (just green on the wings). His head will be completely pinky-orange by then too.
Now we just need to do harness training… oh what fun that will be. T_T
ASKING FOR SUGGESTIONS!
What should I name my online pet store? Its main sellers and focus are parrot training products, bird cages, and bird themed items for humans. But also other pet stuff, particularly cages for other animals.
Was thinking of something like Pet Innovation, Pet Creations, Free Flight Creations, Pet Ideas… But any other ideas are welcome, I just thought of those just then.
Also logo ideas! >_> I’m horrible at logo planning but I’ve been told branding equals good. I would like a rainbow lorikeet as part of the logo.
I couldn't resist favouriting so many of them
). My mum won't let me hatch any more king quail, but hopefully I can convince her to let me try raising some Jap quail, I hear they are great birds. Have you had any experience with Jap quail?
Yes, there should be more activity there in the next few weeks, I've been away for a while which is why it's been quiet.
