Senegal Parrot - pet bird

A smart and entertaining friend
The Senegal parrot is a small, intelligent, active, and clever parrot that will keep you entertained for hours!
Senegal parrots are part of the Poicephalus species that includes Jardine’s, Meyer’s, and Red-Bellied parrots. Senegals are the most popular pet out of this genus. They are very intelligent, but aren’t as mischievous as most other pet birds of this size.
Senegals make good family pets, but need to be socialized well with people or they may become a one-person bird. They are quiet enough to live in an apartment, but do need a somewhat experienced owner because they do go through a nippy stage when they are testing their boundaries with you.
Senegals love attention and many are said to be rather cuddly. Some Senegals are better talkers than others, but most are able to learn several words that are so much fun to hear with their tiny voices! They also enjoy chewing, so wooden toys, ladders, etc. are perfect for your Senegal.
Senegals love human interaction, but are also able to entertain themselves. So, spending at least an hour a day with them is good. The more time, the better, though!
If you’re looking for a bird that acts like a large parrot, but is in a compact, quieter package, then a Senegal might be the right bird for you!
