Estonian Osprey Nest (Irma & Ivo) 2018

[Maria&Xavier]

Who is fierce Choco, Helli or Kaja?

[Konrad]

Yes, second letter on the rings is a good help, as Maria&Xavier wrote already .... but sometimes they manage to hide their rings

This post is deleted by adminn Juta because it´s offending, unrightful and even politically incorrect. We are here watching birds, remember!

Could someone give us a pronunciation of each name? Thanks.

Helen, you can enter the sentence "Their names are Heli, Jaak and Kaja" at Google Translator and listen to it in Estonian language.

I don't think so, Konrad. It was a wise decision by Bea as a moderator to act as she did. Everything is ok, I would say. There was a little seesaw, but no reason to start a new vote. It's only names, we should come back to concentrate on the reason for this thread.

Hello everybody

I voted for one of the "wrong" names, Kaya, wich I actually took from a website showing a study about estonian names of the students penpals:
http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/penp ... 3?Pays=EST
So there is at least ONE actual estonian person called Kaya, wich of course doesn't mean it's an estonian name.

So I'm very sorry if I started some confusion...

But I do like the chosen names alot

OK, Mossa. Did you understand, that there is no such name as Jukka in Estonian language?

[juta]

Dear members! Nobody voted wrong. Me, as Estonian and other members from Estonia should check earlier that list.
Anyway, despite "right" and "wrong" names the result is right, all voted names were counted. As it was publik, everybody can count over.

I actually made a remark about Jukka and Kukka on July 11 (page 140)...

That would have been Choco, now officially named Kaja, fiercest and bravest of dem all

Sorry!

Why did you not check the names suggested?
We ended now into a situation, in which many of us voted for example Jukka, because we were thinking incorrectly that it was an Estonian name.

You can freely delete also this opinion of mine.

Why did you not do the simple correction by letting us vote again for two days?

Such remarks are not counted by Juta!

KONRAD, ENOUGH NOW.

Dear osprey fans

Our nagging about the names leaves a stain also on this super Irma-Ivo family and they don't deserve it. No matter what their names are, the osprets will be soon leaving and let's enjoy the nest life and try to get better and forgiving ourselves. I do love you all and your wonderful pics and videos.

I'm trying to give you pronunciation of the names and hope it's helpful:
XHeli [´heli]
XJaak [jɑːk]
XKaja [´kayə]

[mogga]

We should never use words / terms that are well-known to create distrust and hostility within a forum on the Internet. If moderators / admins would allow this they could just as well close the forum.

Please let's come back to the ospreys.

[Hellem]

11:32 There was still a piece of this "self-feeding" fish from 8:58, at first Jaak then Heli were working on it

Who is fierce Choco, Helli or Kaja?

Maria&Xavier, it is the youngest sister, Kaja (XK) aka Choco

[Sunshine]

Don't be disappointed if it will be voted for another name as your favourite name. The ospreys themselves know nothing about our desire giving them a name, they don't care. We could even call them 'Buddha', 'Idiot' or 'Coca-Cola' – it's irrelevant for them.

I think this is really an important point to remember!

Bea, thank you very much for organising this vote and for counting all the votes!
Really wonderful names for the osprets.
