Yup. I kept asking for months when the final payment would be due and she was telling me to wait. Then finally when she gave me the go ahead, I mailed it the same day but they didn't put it to bank till friday night. Now they want a whole week to clear the check. I've been rushing so much the last few weeks to make all final preparations, set up the cage, buy last minute things I forgot, make arrangements to be available Tuesday to pick up at airport, etc. And now after all that I have to wait a whole week more just for the check to clear. More to it, I'll share details later, but I can assure you I'm quite peeved.

I didn't list any of my very favorites here because I like unique names and I didn't want to give away my favorites. I also listed names here that I really like but they aren't characters so I can't use them. (well, I could, but I choose not too, you know what I mean).
But, in any case, if you decide to use Truman I won't use it (though I'm sure other people will). I'm a bit surprised that you like it actually... it doesn't really fit your criteria and I'd think it would be way more common than what you would like. I really like Ziz or Zeus ( I didn't vote for Zuce because I don't like the alternative spelling). I also really like Truman for a bird (obviously since it's high on my list) and it would be a nice name for a Cape.
Oh so now after I came up with the name myself, you decide to tell me you never mentioned it cause you thought of it first.
Why do you say it doesn't match my criteria? It's not a
common human name, it is 2-6 letters, it's no harder to say quickly than other names we went through, it doesn't conflict with Kili, definitely interesting and somewhat original, it produces only like 4 search results on youtube if searched in conjunction with the word parrot (even unique names like ziz can produce 2,000 results even though no parrot by that name), and I definitely think it's a suitable name for a Cape Parrot.
At this point I'm definitely leaning toward this name but won't decide till I get the parrot. But in order for me to consider using it, I need you to be okay with it. I'm not comfortable using a name if someone thinks I took it from them (or if they intend to use it still).

When I get the parrot and on the
trainedparrot blog of course!
