Celebrating Names Inspired By Birds For This Year's Big Garden Birdwatch

The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch starts today so we've put together a flock of names inspired by birds. Plus, learn how Stikins® name labels keep your family's belongings safe whenever they leave the nest.

Our List Of Names Inspired By Our Feathered Friends

The Big Garden Birdwatch asks the public to participate in a nationwide survey of the UK's garden birds. This helps to measure our bird population and spot if any species are struggling. Last year, over 600,000 people counted over 9.7 million birds; the most spotted were house sparrows, blue tits, starlings, woodpigeons, and blackbirds.

We've decided to hold our own birdwatch and see how many names inspired by birds we could spot amongst our customer's orders.

Check out our list of names inspired by birds below and see if you can think of any more names inspired by our feathered friends.

Help Your Kids “Kitwatch” With Stikins® Name Labels

When children leave the nest to go to school, they take a lot of stuff with them. Schools are busy, shared spaces and a lot of school kit looks identical. Labelling school kit with a name label makes it easy for your kids to keep hold of their own kit and bring it home day after day.

Name labelling is even easier with Stikins®. Our stick on name labels have a unique adhesive, which means you can label all your kids kit with the same pack of labels in seconds. Simply peel each label off the backing sheet and apply firmly - there's absolutely no sewing or ironing required.

You can use Stikins® name labels on fabric and non-fabric items. This includes school uniform, P.E. kit, shoes and bags, lunch boxes and water bottles, stationery, and any other personal belongings they like to keep with them.

You should apply Stikins® onto the wash-care label of clothing and fabric items. In shoes, you should stick them onto the side wall or beneath the tongue.

Stikins® labels measure 30mm by 15mm, which fits neatly (and discretely) onto items of all shapes and sizes. They are bright white in colour and personalised in a bold black font. This means they are really easy to read for children of all ages.

You can put labelled items through the washing machine, tumble-dryer, microwave, dishwasher, or kitchen sink!

We supply packs of 30, 60, 90, 120, or 240 name labels. You can order online at any time or by phone during office hours. Simply enter your personalisation and pick your pack size for each set of labels. Then enter your address and pay - job done! We print and post all orders on the same day (Mon-Fri, up to 3pm) or next working day. We use Royal Mail's first class service as standard and delivery is free.
