senegal

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...

Kippy has picked up a new morning routine, and its a cute one! When my fiance gets up he always uncovers her and moves her near the bed so she can see me until I decide to drag my butt out of bed. For the past three days Kippy has been climbing down from her perch, on to the bed, and working her...
