Edit: Vote on the poll for a name!
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.

Kebin :)
SGNL@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Yeah it's right there. K.bin. With Kevin sounding the best and combine them, Kebin (Keh Bin).
RheingoldRiver@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Oh I love Kebin rhymes with Kevin and is Kbin with an extra 'e'
CynAq@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I hope Kebin wins out too.

My grandma had a cockatoo that bit the shit out of just me all the time. Itβs name was Oggy
Roundcat@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Oggy would be perfect.
ozen@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
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.

I wonder if cockatoos eat mouse? I sure hope they do. Oh wow they do, watch out Lemmy's Mouse, we are coming.

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.

Aww, I like how you added the hearts. So cute! I think I like Binny for a name but Kevin is also nice too.
MuskX@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
If it's female how about just Kay?
Hobovision@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Kay is a decent non-gendered option. So is Binny imo.
BUSTANUTELLA@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I hope it's not too late to suggest names, but howbout knibbler
minnieo@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
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
DoucheAsaurus@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Kbirb is the superior choice.
FixedFun@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
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.......
FixedFun@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
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.
UziBobuzi@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I saw someone in the voting thread say "Early Bird" and I really like that.
minnieo@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
