#1 won by a landslide! Thanks for all the voting and feedback everyone! Now, what is his name? 🤔

Edit: Vote on the poll for a name!

See the results here

Here is a mock of an AskKbin icon to show examples of how the kbird can be used as a sort of mascot if you'd like and a comparison between the current icon and the kbird icon

Now I'm thinking he (she?) needs a name. Some ideas I saw were: Kevin, Kebin, Binny, Ben, Binjamin.

Any more ideas? We can do a poll for this as well. I'm partial to Kevin or Binny (short for Binjamin)

What about Bink?
It's both cute and an anagram of KBin.
- Binky 😅
- We got a winner
- @TheOlympian My vote goes for Pink as well
  @minnieo
- Plus now we'll be immune to magical harm!
  The Xanth book series has Bink as the first main character.
- I was gonna say keeb but this is way better

Kebin :)
- Yeah it's right there. K.bin. With Kevin sounding the best and combine them, Kebin (Keh Bin).
  
  Oh I love Kebin rhymes with Kevin and is Kbin with an extra 'e'
- I hope Kebin wins out too.
  
  go vote on the new poll! https://strawpoll.com/BDyNEb9MWZR

1 Binny

My grandma had a cockatoo that bit the shit out of just me all the time. It’s name was Oggy
- Oggy would be perfect.
- They can definitely be pretty mean. I knew a guy who had one and she would bite every person who came over who wasn't a man. She tried to bite me, but I was wearing my winter coat. She bit women and any child that came around, but she was very fond of men with beards for some reason... Birds are weird sometimes.

Binny

So cute, loved seeing the birds development. Kind of love the name kaybee, but binjamin is great as well
- A vote for Binjamin

Hear me out... Replace all upvote divs' backgrounds with this version of Binny, make one where's angry and replace all downvote divs' backgrounds with that one.
- I love Binny the most out of all the suggestions so far!
- have my happy bird

Binjamin is so goddamn cute stop please I'm going to die from the saccarine

Birb or kbirb

Koobin

Kebin. Rhymes with Kevin.

Birdy McBirdface

Idk if Lemmy.World users get a say here, but I say make it a she!
I vote Binelope :)
Regardless, nice work.
- I wonder if cockatoos eat mouse? I sure hope they do. Oh wow they do, watch out Lemmy's Mouse, we are coming.
- Binelope is great!

I saw someone in the voting thread say "Early Bird" and I really like that.
- Earl?
  
  I went to high school with a guy named Early so it's not inconceivable.
- that could be cute ★

Binji

Kibby, or Ernie to honor Ernest, or knib
- kibby is so cute, and i love the idea for the ernest tribute

I like Ben because it's not so literal but an obvious wink to kbin. maybe Ben K.

Kbirb "kay-berb"

Aww, I like how you added the hearts. So cute! I think I like Binny for a name but Kevin is also nice too.

Klara

Kbirb is the superior choice.

I'm rooting for Kevin!
(and, as always, amazing work!)

Kevin the Kbird, kwite kool, kwite Kbin!
Yeah that's what I voted, the Kbird looks like a Kevin to me and at least I can spell it unlike a certain alien.......
- BTW, in many accents or languages "Kbin" and "Kevin" are pronounced the same (taking the K as /keh/ and the I as /ee/) so is a neat pun.

K. It's his Bin.

Kebin Durant

Binjamin or Binny 🥰
- Binny or Binnie would be perfect.

If it's female how about just Kay?
- Kay is a decent non-gendered option. So is Binny imo.

Aww, they've got such a face that they're easy to make emote a bunch of different ways, gosh I love it. You're good Minnieo!

Karrot, aka the Bindy Birb

Koo Koo the Cockatoo

Pearl

Kippy the Cockatoo!

VPN user voting is not allowed, but my vote is for Kibby. Feel free to add that to the total if you want.

I hope it's not too late to suggest names, but howbout knibbler
- unfortunately youre a little late, there have been 2 polls since this post and a final name has been chosen. i really do love the name knibbler though, its clever and cute
