OK, it's official! The Nanday is hereby named Ixchel. Chaska needs another goddess to hang out with!

In Maya mythology, Ixchel or Ix Chel was an earth and moon goddess, goddess of creativity, weavers and childbirth, goddess of medicine and reason, and a bringer of storms. From her pitcher flowed the flood that wiped clean the earth and brought about a new age of Mankind.
One myth states that the sun was her "lover," but that her grandfather was very upset with this and he threw lightning at her out of jealousy which in turn killed Ix Chel. In the story it stated that dragonflies sang over her for 183 days and then she awoke again only to follow the sun to his palace. But the sun soon after too started to become jealous of Ix Chel, thinking that she was having an affair with the morning star, who was the sun's brother. The sun threw her out of heaven and then persuaded her back home, but soon after her return he became jealous again. It is said that Ix Chel became annoyed with the behavior of the sun and so she went off into the night and remained invisible whenever the sun came around. At her new place in the night it is said that Ix Chel spent the nights nursing women of Earth through their labor (during the stint of their pregnancy and birth).[1]
Mayan women seeking to ensure a fruitful marriage would make a pilgrimage to La Isla de Las Mujeres, where her temples were. Here they prayed to IxChel to bless them with children.

That's very cool Tara. Congratulations again.

Love the name Tara. I knew you'd come up with a good one for such a beauty!

Great name - how perfect!

I'm terrible with names ...

Love the name! Such a beautiful name for a beautiful bird. Very fitting.

Love the name Tara! It suits her! How do you pronounce it?

Thanks! It's pronounced ee-shell. She seems to know she is a goddess too! There is no doubt in my mind that I am a Conure person (as well as Quaker, Tiel and Princess person)!

That's cool Tara! She is so pretty too, the name fits her!

I like that much better with your pronunciation! I kept looking at that and thinking "Ick-shell" lol - so how is Yaxche pronounced??

That's how I thought it was pronounced too Sarah! I like it much better now that I know how to pronounce it correctly!
