Pony names to do with birds

[giggles mum]

Strange one I know, but there's a new lil pony at the yard and they want a name to do with birds, as we already have Sparrow and Puffin (would like to point out that I named Sparrow, starting the whole trend off!

)! It can't be Robin as we used to have one of those. All I know so far is it's little (as in REALLY little...11hh ish) and a gelding. Any ideas?

Wren? Goldcrest? They're weeny!

How about Coots?

Toucan? Swan? Sandpiper? Noddies?

LMAO @ THrush!

When we did our PCers birdwatching badge, we had such a funny convo when we were basically insulting each other with birds' names:

Friend 1: you're a CONDOR! (as in Condom, I think!

)

Friend 2 to friend 1: you're a TIT

Friend 3 to friend 2: well YOU'RE a THRUSH!

i used to ride a pony called sparrow because of his spindley sparrow like legs!

 

[TGM]

Lark?

 

[riotgirl]

My horse is called Llinos which is Welsh for Linnet. Apparently it is quite apt, as Linnet's are small, fat, brown birds - my Linnet is also small, fat, and brown.

 

[mandy4727]

There is a bird called a "shag". No one has mentioned that one!!!

 

[guisbrogal]

Tit!

My friend has a horse called 'Tit' well that's not his real name......but she is always saying 'stop being such a TIT' to him

 

[cobwithattitude]

Waxwing, Woodlark, Thornbill, Goldcrest - sorry if thesehave been mentioned before - brings back fond memories of some showjumpers and young horses I used to work with who were all named after birds.
