A contest! A contest!!



MammaSweetieBird's in a real quandary as to what to name the twins..

So, she said ...."you know, you' ve been doing that blog-thingy for over a year now...and have never had any kind of give-away......what's up with that? "

Well, caught off-guard as I was to be having a conversation about my blogging practices.... in the back yard...with a hummingbird....I had to stop and think...

ThiNk think THInK thinK ThInK..

"Nope. I haven't. What do you suggest....MSB??"

"don't call me that....it's ridiculous..I have a name you know..."

"sorry, MammaSweetieBird...(geesh).."

"which brings me back to that blog of yours..maybe you could have a contest of some sort to help me name the twins"

"hmm.....that could work.....what do you suggest I give out as the 'Prize'..!!??"

“do I have to figure out every thing??..I thought you were the ones with the big 'ol brains..you know..all that name calling .."bird-brained” very funny...."

“OK, miss-grumpy-feather-pants - how about your…nest? Yeah….how about that, missy??!!?’

“what’s up with you? Did you get up on the wrong side of the recliner or something? You should try feeding two pointy-beaked hungry-all-the-time babies all day and night!.. And having to buzz those cats from next door…
….what. ..like Elvis, the black one doesn’t have some peanut butter and banana sandwich somewhere he can eat instead of hanging out under the nest , hoping one of the kids will take that “giant leap for Hummingbird-kind“and just fall into his open mouth??”

“OK, OK - talk about hummingbird-hormones - goll…. How about one of those cute birdie plates I got at Gardner Village Saturday?”

“oh, phul-leeze!”. ......a birdie plate…wow.. That’s original…”

“hey, I’m doing this for you..you got any better suggestions???”

“nah….I got nutthin….”

OK, so, well everyone, here’s the deal ..“we" (and I use that term loosely….) need a couple of good names for twin hummingbird-babies. They do not have to be gender-specific
(how does one tell, anyway??) …

Perve… what’s it to you??”

Anyway, I’ll have the rugged & handsome Mr. B choose a winner on Sunday at 6pm MST .. so respond to this …ah..tirade…- and we’ll put your suggestions in the hat….or a ...NEST!!

“GULP…”

We’ll post the winner-winner-chicken-dinner (oh, sorry Ophelia) on Monday morning and we can figure out how to get your mailing addy to send it off!
Remember, we need not one, but 2 great hummer names!

Good luck…

"anything you want to add, MammaSweetieBird (aka Miss grumpy-feather-pants)??”

“ nope… I think you just about covered it. Just FYI - Elvis has left the building …ah, the back-yard…”

"Go figure."

casper and gambini . A pub i used to go to in dublin city,Finagan and flagherty,One and two so if one flies away you still have two left,boom boom!!! Angie xx

1. Jonathan Livingston Hummingbird and Larry Bird (they may both be males)
2. Teenie and Weenie (in case just one is a male)
3. Poop and Scoop (a tribute to the dogs; also, what birds do is eat and 'process seeds', but not a lot else)
4. Flit and Flutter (either sex could use either name)

Okay, so I'm not the greatest baby-namer around--I haven't had any practice until we adopted our fur kids. Love the idea of a contest. Good luck picking names.

By the way, my word verification today is dumyi...fits, eh?

Okay here I am....I came to do this thang. i prayed really hard lol.I feel most time twins come in male and female. Also most times you have one little sweetie and one that is a bit livleyer ( not a word hehe) but it is for me!
So without further anguish I feel that in life we have our days that are different as well.These names will show the difference of that and also show the speed of the bird.
( DRUM ROLL"?>:{"?>)
1) little girls name should be SUNSHINE.
2) Little boys name should be LIGHTNING.
