Speaking from experience with a few of these types of birds, I can give you two names for sure:
Monkey Ears, or one of her moms, is definitely a Swallow - my grandmother has barn swallows, and they fly incredibly fast, all the while being very very agile. When you described her as a runner that's the type of bird I thought of, lol
The black Irish rex girl should be Phoebe - there's one nesting pair that comes back year after year to nest on the light by what is technically my grandmother's front door - but because phoebes are so shy, we never use that door except occasionally in winter. They're actually very gorgeous green birds with a silver/white belly, they chirp 'phoebe', and they dip their tails very rhythmically whenever they're sitting on a fence or something like that.
For the smooth coated girl, I think Sparrow suits very well - sparrows *are* very friendly as a rule, they might not take food from your hand but they don't mind hopping near you to get to crumbs.
And, this is just a gut feeling, I think the 'Little Pink Beastie' would make a wonderful Linnet!
Now, for the boys... that's a tougher one. I like Merlin and Tern for them, but that's just me, lol
Of course, you have the final say!

You missed the mom's they need names too
I was thinking of Phoebe for the smaller shyer mom, and Wigeon for the baby black berk runner...Widgie for short :giggle: But it was just a passing thought. Phoebe is a nicer name to grow up with.OK Mom's need names too...help?
I did like Merlin and Tern for the 2, Merlin being the rex.

OK how about Wigeon for the brave mom, and Veery for the timid licky one?
And for the standard coated boy, Curlew or Petrel?

Petrel, he can be Petrie for short like in the Land Before Time

LoL, my Petrie wouldn't mind, lol - she was named after the Land Before Time series. I think Petrel probably suits better than Curlew, which would probably work best for a rex, lol
I very much like Wigeon and Veery for the mamas.

Great bird names! You have found pretty much all of the bird names that sound nice. If you need more ideas for the mamas, what about Flicker, Robin, Puffin, Dove?

I am going to be combining Milton's story with the new Hamilton family thread as he is now firmly embedded with the 2 baby boys
Last night I had them out again...he still has NO clue what those other things are and they worry him a little. I think he doesn't know he's a rat, and is much more comfortable with me.
"Do you have any clue what's going on??"
styrofoam ball is interesting
Family...he's 91 grams and they are 161 and 172 grams
Learning to push a little
This morning, typical hiding Milty
Time for sleepyhead to have a drink
Merlin and Petrel say Good Morning! :mrgreen:
Merlin's the ham today
Petrel and Milton
The a lightbulb went off in Milton's head and he became a Baby Rat :giggle: he started pouncing on the bigger baby boys and they let him win everytime...only a couple weeks older than him but acting like good adults :lol:
He is now sleeping in the open with them and happy as can be. :heart:
