"Fly free, little ones. Love and miss you."
I was at the bird specialty store that I frequent for my food and toys today. Every time I go there I make the rounds of the birds they have and give scratches and get my fingers chewed on by those that are friendly. They have some really great birds there but this time my eye fell upon a Senegal Parrot. Very sweet, gentle and friendly bird. And my heart melted. This one is up for adoption, not sale. Just need a cage.
I have a very strong affinity for Senegals. My first bird larger than a budgie was one I adopted out of a bad situation. She started off as a terrified wreck but ended her life as a people loving snuggle bird. I have long thought that should I get the chance I would bring home another. The problem is that my place, an apartment, is not ideal for having 3 birds. I have room enough but the natural lighting is not the best. I'm planning on buying a place soon (I hope) and I'm making sure that it will have a nice setup for my birds. I just don't know when that might be.
So here I am, thinking of that bird ever since I left the store trying to decide what would be best for me, my two Blue Crowns and the Senegal. What really makes it all the more tempting is that Tootsie prefers to spend her time with Rosa now that the two of them have become buddies. I know it could happen when I brought Rosa home and I don't regret it one bit. But I do miss my snuggle time and it seems that the Senegal could provide that for me again.
Decisions, decisions...
By the way, anyone ever encounter a Black Lory before? The bird store has one. First time I even knew they existed. Stunning bird and very friendly. And it has some of the oddest mannerisms I have ever seen in a bird before. I wanna take him home too!
