If you are an old reader of this site or have visited before, you already are aware of the fact that we do not just end our article with a few hundred suggestions. Our primary goal is to solve the thing you’re actually here for and guide you through what actually works and what not.
In this case, having an Owl as your pet and training them thoroughly definitely does contain a few bits of difficulty.
Let’s get to this, term by term. First off, in order to choose the right name it is very important to understand why do you need one in the first place. Here is our take on the question :
Why Does Your Pet Owl Need a Name?
Identity Analysis : Anything we give a name to suddenly becomes sort of identical and recognisable for us. That’s the basic purpose of giving names rights, they help us internalise and acknowledge ourselves. Now even though your Owl pet cannot express that in language or through any prominent expression, they would still feel this pull or connection to you whenever you will call them by their names. Now, not to forget that there are other factors that affect your connections as well, but on a much later time in the process, according to scientific researches, it takes two to three weeks for a pet bird to pick up on his name, for the time being, this is one major familiar thing and identical sound for your pet Owl.
Enhanced Communication : We have grown up learning the importance of nouns and naming. One of the foundational reason being, they make it easier for us to communicate. The word *Owl* in itself is a specie name. Wouldn’t it be more apt and suitable if you call your pet out as “Hey Frosty” rather than trying to gain their attention through various hand gestures or facial expressions. Exactly our point, this makes so much sense in the former manner.
Increases learning ability : Learning is a never ending process in your relationship, the more you will induce it, the faster you will see the results. A lot of trainers consider “pet animal learning their names” as a crucial step further down to the training. This is where your pet finally gains his confidence with you and in himself as well. Once they have this mindset that learning comes easy to them, there will be very less chances of them not picking up on further commands or sounds.
Names are integrators : Take it as you want, but your pet is a whole another specie. Especially a bird like Owl. They carry their own ways to learn, grab and choose things or situations over the time. Sometimes the training you are providing them with is completely out of their comfort zone or even understanding , they might sound reluctant and off beat at times as well. Names generate a sense of integration between you and your pet here.
Increasing Comprehension : Last but not least, names save you a lot of time. Very obviously, they increase the comprehension power between you and your pet as well, and that is the ultimate goal, isn’t it? To attain a sense of confidence with one another.
So many advantages – one single thing. Isn’t that great? Moving on the next list of recommendations here is what we have for you.

The list doesn’t end here. We have plenty of options so that you don’t feel like running out of em.
Before we jump ahead and move on to more such cool ones, here are some of the suggestions you can keep in mind while researching for the name as well as in the process of Training you pet Owl to learn their name.
Negotiation works : The very first you need to have while experimenting with names is an open and adaptable mindset. Sure you own your pet and they should be the one getting trained to listen to you but you’ll see smarter and better results when you will asses better with them. In this case don’t force your choice of the name on them. You will see this over time if the choice you have made does feel in tune with their mind or not. If they act non – responsive even after you have given it hundred percent of your efforts, you might wanna take time and negotiate with your choices. It might turn out that there is a better fit for your Owl pet.
Get in Charge / Take Charge : Don’t just sit there and wait for your pet to automatically grasp upon the name on e you have made the selection. Make efforts to train them with it, properly. You can also hire a pet trainer for the same but don’t waste the precious time sitting there. Your pet needs to be addressed and called at least 12 times a day in their initial training days.
Research Well : People spend so much time on finding the perfect fit that they forget to acknowledge that definition of perfect varies for everyone. What might come under the category of “perfect names” on the internet might not be the one for your owl pet. Do your research well, and take time to understand the need of your own pet.
Use sensory elements for faster learning : Another thing you can do to up level the learning speed is to use one such thing that involves their senses being at work while training them. For example you can call them and each time they respond offer them some nuts, fruit seeds or any other suitable edible or involve a fragrance of something natural that they are used to. This technique literally works and yields best results!
Take it slow and steady : If your pet is not picking up on the name in first few days, that is completely normal. Usually, it takes about 2-3 weeks for a bird pet to just get a hold on the sounds you are using. Their attention span varies from humans and you might would want to be impatient and immediate with the process but keep in mind that it does take time and it always will.
Don’t forget to HAVE FUN! : At last, don’t complex things up and forget to have fun. Love the process because what matters in the end is your connection with your itsy bitsy owlie pet.
These were some tiny little pieces of suggestions we had you, and we are sure you’ll nail it, just like anything!
