senegal

Hi all, I am recently a Senegal owner dad and it’s my first pet ever. I got my 1 year old Senegal from a pet store and he was the sweetest parrot ever, even the first days when he got home he only exhibited signs of happiness, calmness, he showed to be smart and learn all the new tricks...

Hi everyone I adopted a Senegal baby parrot about 30 days old I raised a lot of parrots from 20 days until wean but this Senegal parrot is different he screams every time and that concern me like he wants to eat I give him a 12ml of formula every 8 hours and when I try to have time with him or...

We just brought home a ~14YO male Senegal from a home that wasn't spending much time with him. He seems to be settling in well so far - no plucking, he's vocalizing to us a lot, and he has willingly stepped up off of his cage a few times despite some territorial strutting. What I'm finding...

Hello, Let me start by saying this, I wanted a pet, needed something to give me a bit of purpose and take care of. A few years ago I developed allergies to cats and dogs and this has really brought me down. So I decided to get a parrot, did some research, looked for what would be suitable for...

Ive been studying up on parrots in general and have been trying to find a breed that works for me and my living conditions, and from my research ive landed on a senegal. Ive called local breeders and pet stores around me to see if they had any senegals, and only one place said they did thats...

My father got a Senegal recently and I've been having trouble with it. I would call it a "mean" bird, but really it's just cage aggressive, for some reason when I sit by its cage it'll dance, and talk to me like saying "hi!". This is strange because it hasn't done this with any other family...

I've had my 7yo Senegal for about two months and it's getting pretty clear that her current cage is too small. She came with it from her previous home (and I assume has spent a lot of her life there), but I work during the day and she hates being confined. Everyone will be happier if she has...

Okay everyone- I need some real expertise here as I’m in a severe situation and it looks like I will have to give my Senegal parrot away. I’m so upset just having the think about this and I don’t know what to do. I guess it’s easier if I explain everything- I got Buddie when I was 10 as a baby...

Hi everyone, I have a new baby Senegal (close to day 3 at her new home now). I've named her Olive. The shop owner says she is a little over 2 months old and needs to be fed formula 2 times a day (but only as a supplement), because she has started to eat small pellets herself as well. I'm...

We are selling our custom built Cages by Design Parrot Cage. We had to find a new home for our Senegal and Pionus due to some health problems, so that is why we are selling it. I originally purchased it as a surprise for my wife and paid about $8000. I have all the original receipts still...

Hello, I am hoping to locate a reputable Senegal Parrot breeder. I would prefer to find one in or close to North Carolina. I am specifically looking for a male baby Senegal Parrot who has been hand-fed, vaccinated, micro chipped, vet certified and comes with a health guarantee. Thus far I have...

Hi! I'm currently trying to find what bird would be best for me. I've been researching Meyers Parrots, Quaker Parrots, Eclectus Parrots, Senegal Parrots. I'm stuck and can't seem to figure out how to weigh the pros and cons I don't live in an apartment so if a bird is louder it's okay but I'm...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but have come to read as a non user for a while. I have a Senegal parrot, whom my family and I rescued over 12 years ago. We're not sure about age or gender. He can range from sweet to noisy, as it seems normal for the species. Lol. However, there are several behaviors...

Hello, I'm new in this forum. I have already owned parrots, so i'm not a first time owner, but right now i'm quite a bit LOST. I'm considering in getting a parrot in september more or less and i really don't know which one to get. I moved and i'm living in an appartment so i have tons of...

Hi all, I'd like all your opinions. I'm interested in getting a Green-cheek Conure or Senegal Parrot. I have owned birds before, a Sun Conure and an African Grey who unfortunately I had to give up when I moved here (to Ireland) from South Africa. I gave them to a bird sanctuary with huge...

Hi guys! My boyfriend and I purchased a rescue Senegal around 7 months ago, and we have been having a lot of behavioral issues that just keep getting worse. We are told that she is 20 years old, and lived all of her life with the same owner until he passed away. The daughter took her and that...

My female Senegal parrot, Ripley, got spooked this afternoon on my patio and caught the wind, flying down the road into a clump of trees. I was out there trying to find her all day to no avail. I heard her vocalizing at one point in the forested area of a 9-acre farm next to my apartment...

Hi all, I'm looking for a female Red Bellied Parrot or a female Senegal. I am looking for a baby, preferably just recently weaned. I am located in Sacramento, CA. If the breeder is in driving distance it would be much preferred. I might also be interested in a young adult, so please don't...

Hello all, After lots of thinking and research, I've decided that an amazon would not be a good fit for me... I believe that the noise level, attention requirements, and unpredictability don't mesh with my lifestyle. I am a 2nd year Biochemistry undergrad that is planning on continuing my...

I have an 8 year old Senegal, Ziggy, who is insanely aggressive, and his biting is bad enough that I'm considering options to have him removed from the house entirely. I could manage just not handling him, but the problem goes well beyond that. -He always bites with full force, and once he...

So my mum has been talking whistfully about how she's always liked senegals, and since she actually has the time for a parrot now, I have a feeling she's going to get one. I'll be moving out at some stage in the next year and a half, so I don't really get much of a say, obviously, but as I will...

I'm new to the bird world. I fell in love with my gfs senegal. However the senegal far from loves me. It will attack me whenever the opportunity presents it self. I want to adopt a baby sun conure however I'm afraid the senegal may get stressed or angry at my gf about this. Does anyone have...

I have a senegal parrot that is about 8 months old. He's cute, pretty quiet, not too messy and knows how to kiss (I taught him that) I'm finding it difficult to give him much attention with my 3 little kids around and I am expecting my fourth in less than a month. I feel so sorry for him as he...

So sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble locating specific information on this. I'm a husbandry assistant and I prepare diets for a lot of birds at work. I'm given a diet board that I follow, so every day I weigh out a specific amount of pellets and a specific amount of...

Hi everybody! I currently own a DNA sexed female Senegal Parrot who is about a year old. I've had her since June and I'm having somewhat of a little problem with her right now. She is generally very good. No issues aside from the occasional nip when she's telling me that she doesn't like...

Hi! I am looking into purchasing my first parrot in the next little bit and am in the process of doing research. I have owned cockatiels and have lived with a muloccan cockatoo. I always love to watch the parrots in the pet stores and I have finally decided to get one. I live in a town house and...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. I became the owner of 2 green cheek conures (Jet and Falco) at the start of June and I'm pleased to say that they have been some of the best pets i have ever owned, I'm constantly being surprised at their level of intelligence and that they both have very...

Hi everyone! I have a Meyer's parrot, a female who is 4 years old. She has recently started to behave as if she wants to mate with me: she makes little noises, stands with her back towards me and lifts up her behind a little. It has first happened about a moth ago, exactly at the same time as...

Right so a brief introduction followed promptly by the query I have. Oh and please excuse any more do typos, I'm typing this on a mobile. Hi all, I'm not new to birds nor am I new to Mason's lovely breed. ( He's a senegal btw.) I grew up along side birds, Mum had lovebirds and budgies and I...

A few questions from a new parront.. I have a 2 year old Senegal named Maxwell and I'm new to owning birdys. I have a few questions... 1) Why does he keep wagging his tail feathers and fluffing up?! 2) When he's in his cage he refuses to sleep until I bring him out, then he will sleep on...

My Senegal has been chewing on his little nail. At first I thought maybe there was something stuck in it but then I noticed he just recently started chewing on cloth things. Maybe it's his beak, then? Also, he frequently has been shaking (or, wagging kinda) his tail. He is only 2 years old. Why...

So as I have mentioned on here recently, I am adopting a 15 year old senegal. Well I finally met him the other day and he has some personality, boy! He was a bit nippy though. I think maybe because there was a lot of attention on him and he was meeting me for the first time. Needless to say we...

Hello! I'm an aviphile owner of a six month old Senegal Parrot, a nine month old Parrotlet, and a three year old Sun Conure. I've hand-fed all my birds, except the Sun Conure, and I hope to hand-feed more little babies in the future! I hope to post, learn, and comment with many of you on...

I am looking to get a larger cage for Ki, my Senegal. He is in the small Preview Hendryx Royalty now, basically 18x18x32. I really like THIS cage, but wonder if it is large enough. I want to outfit the cage with euc branches, <(cool vid of Blue & Golds munching on Euc) cork slab walkways, and...

This is my buddy, Mango

In February my family went to the store a baby parrotlet adapted us. I say that because he jumped in my son's hands and preceded to go from on member to the next and won us over. Lucky came home and settled in wonderfully. No biting or crying. Willing to try new foods. Great with the kids...

I'm having the hardest time deciding which to choose! I have criteria in mind: -playful/fun/clowny -cuddly/likes to be touched -not terribly shrill (my husband minds more than I do) -likes to spend a lot of time with their human (I want to devote a lot of attention/time) Does anybody have...

Me and my Sennie get on very well. He is probably closet to me then the rest of my family in the house. Although today he just seems to hate me. He wants to be on me but whenever I allow him to he just bites, like attack bite which draws blood, I tell him 'NO' and put him down for 3 minutes, but...
