The Senegal Parrot
Senegal Parrots are amongst the most common pet parrots and the most popular Poicephalus parrots raised and sold as pets, with the Meyers Parrots being the second in line.
These little parrots are charming and highly trainable, and often are a great source of entertainment and amusement for their owners. They are generally robust birds. Well-socialized Senegals enjoy regular human interaction, but can also play independently.
Hand-raised and well-socialized Senegal Parrots are generally affectionate and playful, and bond well with their owners. On the other hand, wild-caught or poorly socialized Senegal Parrots tend to be skittish and frightened of humans.
Senegals are fun little parrots with diverse personalities. While some are quite shy, others are more on the bold side - they can even be bullies, potentially pushing around larger parrots to get their way. Senegal Parrots are generally one-person birds, and are usually very affectionate with their favorite person.
They love a lot of interaction and like to be in the middle of things. Most are content to just hang out in the middle of the action.
The Senegal Parrots are very sensitive to changes in their environment. Loud sounds easily frighten them. They don't like noisy areas and don't do well in chaotic environments. They are fine with children, as long as they are generally well-behaved and calm, and have been taught appropriate handling techniques.
There is a general difference between the males and the females with the males being reported as being a bit more bold and aggressive. However each parrot is different. In most cases, what really counts is the level of socialization a parrot received both in its early years as well as ongoing as adults.
