For us Naturalists out here...
 

I seem to have a proliferation of wild animals in my back yard, and it seems to drive my wife nuts whenever i find a new name for each of them...a sample:

Lake (the blue heron)
Vince (the gopher)
Bimbo (the deer)
Nekkid (the jay-bird)
Louie (the cardinal)
Bare (the rabbit)

anybody got any new names to add?

yup..........i got some.


bastard...the skwerl

shutup....the stellar jay

thumper of course....our rabbit

piss off....the mosquito

and don't fuck with me.....the bee

you know that slightly intoxicated-looking squirrel who's always stealing the best buds from your flowers phil?
well, i'd name that one Flyman.

I do't look out in my back yard enough these days, certainly not enough to have a consistency of animals, but at my folks house, they have a lake in the back of the house that has two grandaddy snapping turtles in it yclept "Bighead" and "King Ike".

We have black squirrels named, Motherfucker 1, You Bastard, and Motherfucker 2. We both have a soft spot in our hearts for all living creatures (except spiders, don't get me started...) but, like a lot of people, we get pissed off at the squirrels raiding the bird feeders. So, we give the squirrels their own food and that keeps them away from the birds food (most of the time).

Besides the suet feeders, we fill one bird feeder with wild bird mix and the other with only black sunflower seeds. The squirrels tend to stick with only the sunflower seed. They're still called MF1, YB and MF2 because within 10 min. of filling their feeder, they are hanging up-side down on it and inevitably, they pull it off the tree and all the seed ends up on the ground.

At that moment, in the heat of anger, they all become collectively, "You little Fucking Bastards!" because I just can't afford to feed them a feeders worth of food everyday. I then go outside and re-hang the feeder. Repeat from "filling their feeder" approximetly 4 times until some other duty calls and I give up the battle. Sometimes I think I should just pour a big pile of Sunflower seeds on the ground and let it be.

Ngdawg: That picture cracks me up! OMG, that tree looks almost exactly like the base of the tree we have in our backyard that the previously mentioned squirrels raid our feeder from! Maybe our squirrels should be called-Rocky 1,2 and 3!!!!

we don't really name the birds- too many to keep track of, but we have pet squirrel that come eat out of our hands, they are psychic, and spoiled.....
We had a chubby one named Schultzy at first, but then he got bigger and so moon named him Fat Bastard......we haven't seen him for quite a while....
the other 2 we haven't really named yet, but they are getting fat and feisty.

aunt phil just came up with Kill Bill (the fly)...

I have a huge bunny living in my yard that I have named Dustin Hopman. And all of my squirrels are called...Carl.

dude!!!!!!!...............don't do it man..........uncle joe is out that neck of the woods...........our family would be heartbroken.

<i>There's nothing odd about that. I hear tell that Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie named Abdau! Now if you mean to call the father of the modern Turkish state a loonie, I shall have to ask you to step outside!</i>

I have a writing spider, that lives outside my kitchen window....and of course I call her Charlotte

For some reason, every seagull and pelican that my wife and I see is named "Peavey." Even the little concrete statues. All of them are "Peavey."

every seagull and shag (cormorant to you flatlanders) around my place are all named the same - "ASSHOLE"

cuz that's where all the shit comes from
