The Senegal parrot
learns to talk and imitate sounds such as the creak
of the garage door and the ring of the telephone.
The African grey parrot is more accurate in pitch
and tone but the Senegal parrot's is entertaining.
Its diet consists of a seed mixture of sunflower,
safflower, pine nuts, oats, hemp, millet and canary.
It is a robust bird and not prone to feather plucking.
A senegal parrot can also be well trained.
Like all birds the Senegal
parrot must be allowed time out of the cage
to exercise and interact with you. It can also play
independently. The more you interact the more a Senegal
parrot will relax and obey you. To be well behaved
it must be well trained. Is that a major problem?
