So far I have: Mr.Ollivander- Budgie( Many people call them parakeets.) Yaxley- Another budgie. Phineas Nigellus Black- And yet another budgie(RIP) I have a Frodo too. He is a green-cheeked conure. I also have a Dallas Winston "Dally"(from The Outsiders). She is a vizsla(yeah I know, Dally is suppose to be a boy.) Here are some pictures: Ollivander is green and Yaxley is blue/grey. Dally. Frodo (Picture was for a Photo Contest. I do not let him play with rings.) Phineas Nigellus Black. So does anyone else name their pets after HP characters or any other book/movie characters?

When I first got him, my brother was being an idiot, and he was like "You're a wizard, Harry". I guess the name just stuck. -------------------- "It's not food anymore Dean, it's Darwinism!" - Sam Winchester

I found a black cat in the Forest of Dean while on holidays and named her Crookshanks(even though she was a girl and he was a boy ) I've always wondered if she was bad luck though; a black cat crossing my path three days before Halloween? --------------------

For a while we had a 4th cat that was quite an eater. We called him Pig, however he and Errol did not get along, so he is happily off in a new home where he is the only cat.

When I get my own pets and don't have to worry about my sister and parents groaning about what I want to name a family pet, I will definitely give them HP names. I really want a bird named Fawkes eventually. --------------------

Anyway, she's called Luna and suits the name to the tee, she's insane and very fun. x -------------------- "Harry Potter isn't everything ... but it's right up there with Oxygen!
