Chet and his Senegal Parrot George

The Senegal Parrot is a unique species of bird. Senegal Parrots originate from West Africa. It moves about in the territory it lives in, spending the day following the fruits and blossoms that make up their main diet.

Because Senegal's often feeds on farmer’s crops, it has gained the nickname of “pest." Senegal Parrots nest in holes of trees and can lay white eggs. Senegals continuously chatter in the wild with a variety of whistling and chattering calls. Their life expectancy is 25 to 30 years in the wild and 50 years in captivity.

When you hand raise a Senegal Parrot, you are creating a wonderful pet. My own Senegal Parrot, "George" is an absolute ham... talks constantly and continues to learn new words and behaviors even in his early 20's... which makes the Senegal Parrot one of the better talking species of smaller parrots available.

The Parrot Senegal is a much calmer parrot than its cousins. It can play by itself for long periods of time, although it does enjoy its human family when they are around. They are truly known for their jealousy of other family members and pets.

They also love undivided attention by the hour. And unlike an African Grey Parrot, the Senegal Parrot is not nearly as prone to behavior problems like feather plucking and has such a small voice that screaming is not nearly the problem it is in other birds.

Hand raising a Senegal Parrot can also help it become a mellower family member. By treating it with respect and giving it a lot of attention and allowing it to be handled from birth by many different people, a new Senegal can become very comfortable around their human companions.

Senegal Parrots are excellent at mimicking sounds, and my own now speaks over 20 words quite clearly.

Having a senegal parrot means you will need to schedule in focused attention time everyday for your new pet. The Parrot Senegal loves to spend time with humans, and whenever you can schedule training or play time with them it is important to make your time together valuable.
