    Yasha (in Slavic languages, it’s short for Yakiv/Яків, which is approximately equivalent to Jacob). I know, giving pets human names is sometimes seen as weird, but I can swear that he recognises his name when spoken aloud

      Human names for pets is super normal! My bird’s names are Marty and Theodore. Birds are also definitely smart enough to recognize their name. Yasha looks like a very sweet birdie. 😊
