My first Senegal Kelly would sit on my shoulder for hours. She was a very sweet and gentle bird. Very quiet. Did not play much. Just wanted to be with me or anyone else if I was not available. But one of the things that I learned too late that she was holding her poops while on me, which is not a good thing. I wasn't very experienced with birds when I adopted her out of a bad situation so I did not know it at the time. I don't know if that led to the health problems that took her away from me.
Sidney, my current Senegal, is a very independent bird. Night & day from Kelly. He spends little time on me preferring instead to get into anything he should not that he possibly can. Though he does have his times in the day when he winds down and will perch on me somewhere and preen. Lots of puffing. Lots of ruffling his feathers. Eventually half napping. But a half hour is probably all that I get out of him in that kind of mood then he is off wanting to explore and forage again.
