I love Senegal parrots so much I own two and they are the light of my life. I love them to bits. Their sassy personalities ARE EVERYTHING
Mariya are yours affectionate or more nippy.
@@JnTmarie Both!! Senegals really have their own sassy personalities. If they don`t like something they will definitely let you know, however, their love is so pure and unconditional. :)
I adore my Sennie. Someone didn't want her after 14 years so I got her. It took 2 years for her to stop attacking me. Now she wants to be with me all the time.
Electra is so gorgeous 🥰 I love senegals but I would be scared to have one because of my other birds. Her cage setup looks really fun and enriching! I love your videos.
It sounds like the Senegal couldn't be trusted🐦
Big fan Elle!
Ella youre so awesome😍,id love to meet you someday.Its weird that in my country one flight Cage is 1000!!😭I don’t have money for that.Is it ok if i make a diy Eood Cage for my cockatiel?
@@m.ei_j3702 why not
You were spot on about behaviors, additute and temperment. They get jealous and bite you when someone gets too close to you. I lost the top part of door frame. Wisdom had a vocabulary of about 30 words. They hold a gurge and don't want to be left behind. I enjoyed my Senegal.
I would like to have a Senegal parrot. I like to stay on the small and medium size parrots. Another parrot I would love to have is an Indian Ringneck
I have a ringneck, lots of work but totally worth it
“Research about quarantine” 2020: Ite hold my beer
The pied and lutino variety of Senegal Parrots are nowhere nearly as attractive as the natural form. No wonder they can’t compete with the natural colour form. By the way, I love the grey heads. The contrast is rather unique and I don’t find them looking evil at all. A very handsome species indeed IMHO.
I really appreciate the amazon links in the description, they help me out about finding the best products for my first bird so that I can be prepared
The most comprehensive video I could find on TH-cam on Senegals. Deeply appreciated ✌🏽💐
My Quaker is intermittently saying "Yeah", like he's agreeing with what you're saying lol.
😂🤣
I love your species spotlight series. My sennies, Axel & Henry are so smart, they are def a different type of bird and not for just anyone I have to say. Such cuties.
Thank you very much for all your videos! Full of information and most importantly, you are very patient! Thank you and to see your channel grow!
Wow😮 these species spotlight series are an excellent series 💕 very informative & so good 💯 My several online pet bird tests suggested me for Senegal parrot. But I wasn't sure enough to get them home. Now nice to know about their complete personalities & all. 👍😊
Love the birds so much please keep showing different video's about the birds that are gorgeous creatures.
I learn so much about Senegals that I didn't know. Thank you!
Your channel is my favorite channel and I always wait for your new and always interesting videos which is helpful for me and for others.
I've been researching which parrot species to get for weeks now and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much!
Very informative, with accurate information! Awesome vid! ❤️
I had my ( Poopbird ) for 31 years and I can say for sure that you are spot on. I Lost him 1 year ago on the 18th of this month of May, my heart is still broken and with tears in my eyes I can say it will be for the rest of my life...… I am 70
Ha ha, funny comment about the when the ring neck molts looking moth eaten. Thanks enjoyable video.
Love your channel sooo much it is so helpful
Electras little headbobs are so cute
Wow, really informative video!
Thank you for all the other resources!!
My Senegal Earl is so funny he loves to hang upside down and he just learned how to do somersaults. He mimics everything. He loves to whistle
Great video as always!!💙 It's fun to see Electra!!
Great Information!!!!
I'm doing research on this bird.
I'm getting one for my Bday.
Thanks for the video. 😊
Very informative ,Thank You !
I ended up rescuing a Senegal from a parrot rescue along with a Quaker after my Sulphur crested unexpectedly passed away.
Soo cute!
Thanks for sharing! Your senegal Electra is SOO cute🥰 I was thinking about maybe getting one in the future😊
Mingi luvsbudgies Nellie is Marlene’s Senegal, her Senegal’s name is Electra 😂❤️ that would be awesome if you got one!
Live Laugh Birds I keep getting them mixed up😆
Cool birdie
The Senegal beside you looks like he agrees with you.
Very informative👍
My Senegal is 2 years old and he is part of a flock . He is my best friend. He's a sweetheart for everybody when I'm around.
aww they are so cute I have a cocktail an one Senegal they are so lovely
Wow great !
Great video! Learned so much!
My Senegal has a super Louuuuud 📣contact call!!!!! A few really loud noises. Not as loud as a Sun Conure but way louder than what you’re describing Senegal’s sound like. I think each bird is unique. Some Senegal’s are more quiet but others aren’t. I can walk down the block and hear mine doing her desperation calls for me!
I think these educational species highlight videos are so valuable to the platform. Great video ❤😊 keep up the wonderful work! Sorry it's been awhile since I've been over here, just been SUPER busy these day! Big Hugs and Lots of Love
Hi, nice to hear from you. You have an awesome bird t.v that keeps you busy.
@@Loveofpets Thank You SO Much! Actually converting our soon-to-be 24/7 Zen Bird Music Cafe stream data right now. Hoping to get that one running live this evening :) Then, I'm going to try and get 2 more put together (Latin Bird Music and Jazzy Lounge Bird Music Cafe). The goal is to have at least 5 Bird Music TV streams running continuously so people and their birds have more choices :) Hope you're doing Great! And staying warm with those birdies :)
@@ParrotTown that sounds awesome!
@@Loveofpets Thank You! :)
@@Loveofpets are senegals good as apartment birds? I've read articles saying their relatively quiet
Thank you I have a Senegal and this was very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
My Sennie dips her food in her water too haha
Great video! I have a female Senegal named Mango. Senegal’s are amazing companion parrots. They are very underrated.
Mango is a beautiful name 😀
So cute!
Greta video very informative
I seen a senegal on 90 day fiance and about DIED with how friendly he was and how his owner casually carried him around like a potato 🤣🤣 Thanks for the video!!!
I grew up with one of these guys and she was so attached to me, one of the sweetest birds ever. I miss her a lot. She was a bit of a punk to anyone that wasn't me lol, but overall she was a sweetie
Great video! Thanks for sharing! 💙♫♪♩👍 162
Marlene, is cool too.
I have learnt a lot from this video, thank you, very informative 👍🏻 🦜
Glad it was helpful!
He looks clever. Awesome from l.a california
very good video. Thanks
We have a male sennie, Romeo but he loves his dad. I can give him head rubs and hold his feet through the cage, but that's it.
I have had several Senegals in many yrs of owning parrots and raising them. I throughly enjoy them. Males have flatter heads and females have a rounder heads.
cute！
I loveeeee Electra. I know she prefers your husband but she is so pretty. I saw a female rescue recently who also preferred males.
Hi, nice to hear from you. Senegals seem to prefer one gender or person but some may like everyone 😀
Love of Pets ❤️
I have a 10 year old rescued Senegal that I got for mainly my husband. She tolerates him but picked me as her person. She is very affectionate to me, calls for me and preens me. She doesn’t like my 13 year old granddaughter and actually attacked her. Now I don’t bring her out if my granddaughter is home because she acts like she is defending me
Could it be hormonal behavior? So it would be a mate association, check out birdtricks for a great recent video on horror-mones if you suspect it. You can stop the attacking of other people I believe.
My Senegal is really funny. He will be all cuddly and acting all nice, and then he will bite because he tricks people.
Very nice video with great facts that you presented. Did you know about the possible adversities of Senegals before you got Electra? Knowing she can have a bad temper at times, I am glad to have 4 little budgies that enjoy my home. Electra was well behaved through the entire video sitting on the stand. Her colors are beautiful.
Hi! I did not do has much research as I should of back then. I did not have Facebook to join groups etc. I heard good things about them and only a few bad ones that I could handle. I will never get another Senegal because of their nastiness. If I only knew what I know now, I would probably never get one but sometimes the best way to find how they are is by owning them.
Your description of a sennie's behavior is right to a tee! My bird has picked my wife as his favorite and he just goes for the rest of us with his beak, and he whacks without showing aggression, no warning! Whenever he sees me, he will chase after me 😅 He was a rescued bird and initially wasn't aggressive towards me. However, after he got established in my home, his sentiments seemed to have changed over time.
There properly a reason why he like that since before he acting nice towards you and now he acting mean and biting you there still hope u can train them to be more social as it is important for them to learn to interact with other humans nicely
I have 3 Sennies.
One s a 25 year old female who I bought as a fledging. Generally friendly to all, but particularly adores my son. Intelligent, playful and generally lovely, but can occasionally bite unpredictably if she doesn't get her own way or if another bird annoys her. And it hurts - a lot. But I love her to bits, even if she rules the house with a rod of iron.
The second is a male aged about 22. I got him as a rescue and it was the second time he'd been rescued. The first time, he had been abused and was scared of people but had made progress under his second owner. It took 10 years of hard work to fully socialise him and he is now friendly, never bites and will accept and enjoy a head scratch.
The third is of unknown gender and is aged about 10, having been rescued by me 5 years ago. His previous owners had fed him(her) well, but never let him out of his cage or handled him. From day one with me, he was incredibly tame and could be handled with complete trust. He now spends as much time with me as I can spare and is simply the most adorable, tame bird I've ever seen. He never bites and actually enjoys being handled.
All Sennies are wonderful if properly socialised and trained.
I actually have a Senegal named Skittles and I'm currently watching this video for more information about her :>
Ridiculous Ravioli is it worth getting a Senegal and does it bite??
My friend has one and was thinking about giving it to me when I have my own place because she loves me and I love the bird so much too! I’m looking at some things to buy for her and her owner so she can be enriched in her cage!
James Meens Senegal’s do bite. the bite of a Senegal is almost compared to a macaw. Their bites HURT because they like twisting.
I love your channel it’s so great and your bird is adorable I also have a bunny
Glad you enjoy my channel. I can see your bunny in your profile picture, he or she is adorable 😊
Aww thx it’s a she
Hi I'm first do u respond I love it channel so much!
Hi!
I love this channel too
Hi first I’m Noor
me: focusing on her eyes.
her: *blink* *blink* *blink* *blink* *blink* *blink*
me: *.,.*
I got a ringneck before i knew senegals. Instant regret haha 😆 I guess im “stuck” with him for the next 40 years. He’s very loud and gets bored very quickly, but i still love him.. 🥰
Do u regret it still?
Ringneck dont live for 40 yrs mate some maybe do but most wont
Amazing video. Our senegal is 29 and very sick today. I always thought they lived up to 50 years but it seems 30 is an average age. Owning pets can be heart breaking when they get old 😔
Self cleaning ovens are also toxic. Although only when using the self clean option. Regular use of a self clean oven is harmless.
In a nutshell, Senegals are bad to the bone! The OG's of the bird world. I have to get one.
Useful/
my auntie has the same bird!
I love your channel I am thinking about getting a bird do you think an indian ringneck would be a good first bird
16:48 It is the same with my quaker parrot. He just enjoys transferring his water bowl into a pellet soup 😂
Hi Donna! 👋
Where ever did you get that excellent poop-catching perch !!!! Id like to get one! Please advise !
Hi! I got it from Amazon, here is the link amzn.to/2R2Wmah
I may do a review of it.
My Senegal had blue eyes when he was young! They have changed to a pale yellow but he’s only over a year old.
Miss Rio very much Electra is cute although
Me too, I miss so much.
Im looking for these guys so i can get one❤️❤️
Hoping to get one of these guys in the next year or so. Had a caique previously and found this very useful. Do you think I will see a discernable behavioural difference between a sennie and a caique? Thanks
They are very different from each other. Caiques are very active and comical. Senegals are very laid back and move slowly. It's like night and day. Although they both are known to be aggressive at times
I love u donna from Ireland
I have a 27 year old female senegal I named Dia. I worked in an exotic bird aviary years ago and she was pulled as an egg from the nesting box and hatched in an incubator. I took her home at 1 week of age and hand fed her. She was raised with my 3 year old and 9 month old children. She prefers me, but tolerates my son pretty well. She was fine with my daughter until she had a friend over and they started poking at Dia through the cage bars. Dia has never liked my daughter since, and to this day when my daughter visits, Dia has a hissy fit until she leaves. I also have found that she loves eating cooked egg whites and roasted chicken chunks two or three times per week. I think the protein helps because Dia has never had any health issues. She is a quiet bird and mimics my laughter, phone and microwave more than talking. Loves head rubs!
I grew up with an extremely aggressive Senegal & it made me really sad b/c all I wanted to do was love him, but he only loved my mother (or maybe solely females, I’m not exactly sure)
Same with me and my roommates 14 year old cockatiel 😔 I want to be his bff but he usually doesn't like me too much. Except for when I whistle to him. My roommate can't whistle so he likes me for that lol
@@laurieb3703 there a reason for that ur doing something wrong to put off the bird it could be ur emotion and stress ect
U can train them to be more social
We had an African Senegal named Murphy. He was a great bird. Then we moved. He was in his cage but had unscrewed the nut and escaped when I opened the door at our new home, out he went. Murphy never came home. That was in San Diego so at least the environment was good. I wonder what people do when they hear Murphy today singing the Star Wars theme music in the trees.
Hopefully someone found him and he is happy
@@Loveofpets Thank you so much, I pray that someone found him. We never heard of anyone finding Murphy... :o( But it goes to show how smart these birds are that they can unscrew things, talk and they require someone who understands they are very smart.
My aunt had one: it was noisy, extremely picky (as to both food and people) and extremely messy. It would scream angrily if you turned the TV on in that room, because it liked it quiet. It would either ignore or hiss at anybody other than my aunt. None of us kids liked it much. Very pretty, though... in an angry bald-eagle kind of way.
Donna DONT worry if you do not know the name of the 2 humidifiers you have I will keep trying till I find the right one.I live about 50 miles north of New York City and I will call every medical center in New York City if I have to regarding a humidifiers .They have sooo many different types here is what the problem is.And I repeat too, I love ❤️ all of your videos and info!
Hi, sorry about that, I forgot to reply the other day. Here is the one that I use amzn.to/379Peid
I use one in my bedroom and one in the birdroom.
I have a Senegal. Her name is Baby. She’s about 25(ish) and she’s the sweetest thing. I agree with you...no dust, she’s a pretty clean bird. She does do the high pitch scream when she sees me in the kitchen. Apparently she’s upset I’m not paying attention to her? LOL She says a few things (she just mumbled hello as I was typing this). If she sees me eating something that intrigues her, she comes to the front of her cage and says “what’s what”. Cracks me up. Her favorite thing to do is make kissy noises, though. And, as you said, she doesn’t seem to like other birds. I was paying attention to my cockatiel the other night and she flew down and headed straight for Tiki. I had to pick her up so fast lol.
It's too bad they don't like other birds. I forgot to mention in my video that Electra says "kiss kiss" and does the kissing sound, lol. Electra only likes me when I have food 😀

Hi! I love Senegal parrots but I’m so afraid to get one like your Electra. I have 3 kids and I’m afraid that the Senegal hurts my children. So, I’m trying to find some more adequate bird to my family. I thought in Kingsley? Does he loud? Does he made a lot of noise? Does he talk? He accept more than one person? He is so gorgeous!!
Kingsley is the best bird that I have ever owned. Much better then a Senegal. Senegals have such large beaks compared to a king parrot.
Kingsley likes everyone and hardly makes any noise and is not a screamer so far.
Not sure if all king parrots are like Kingsley but he is such a sweet bird.
Nice video.I never knew all those things about Senagals .Knowing all this I do not think a Senagals would be for me.I had one a long time ago for only a short time and had to give him up .He really didn’t care for me too much but he fell in love with my neighbor and so I gave him to my neighbor and he was very happy there for over 35 yrs.I would say that if I were ever to get another bird in here I would have to ask you about any other species because I really trust everything you say especially being a bird person like yourself .I have a little question not on your topic .I get little nosebleeds ( minor) my dr has told me to go out and buy a humidifier.I worry about mold even cleaning it..I only get this stuff on the winter, Iam soo afraid to get a humidifier because of mold. They sell some that are mold inhibitors.Donna , do you think these humidifiers are safe around birds and if not can you recommend one.I truly value everything you say.Thank you for sharing
I use a small humidifier in my bedroom and birdroom when the air is dry without a problem. I get nosebleeds so I need one and sometimes my birds start to sneeze so I put on the humidifier and it helps them.
Love of Pets Donna do you know the name of your humidifier?
Thanks Donna, do yo happen to know the name of them?I value everything you say and will go right out and buy it when my cold gets better.I too get nose bleeds and dry eye and itchy skin, plus it’s bitterly cold here now with 4” of snow for a bonus and Iam in bed except when taking care of my Timneh Stormy.There is an anti microbial on a shopping channel and Iam not sure if I should buy it.I always value and respect everything you say !
Oh I left something out .Iam in bed here with a bad cold trying to get rid of it.
I have had three Senegals . 2 very aggressive birds and one real sweetie pie . The gentle one was female so I don't know if that's what made the difference. My aggressive birds would attack visitors and one nasty attack burst my eyelid and left me with a black eye.
I have 😍😍😍
Your name is very interesting I have never seen a Mc Cohen.
Thank you for all this information. I didn't know about Chlamydia psittaci that can be passed to humans. I have some questions:
1-do you recommend senegals for apartment?are they loud?
2-Should we have a pair or a single one ?
I personally don't think that Senegals are loud compared to other birds. They do have a shrill like call but it's not the loud to me. Not sure if it can travel through walls. My Sennie isn't that loud. If you keep your sennie busy with plenty of chew toys and interaction that the noise will be minimal.
Senegals are known for killing or harming their mates so it's best to get an already bonded pair if you can. If you get a second one later on after the first one they may not like each other.
I personally say get one but only if you have a lot of time to spend with the bird. Another bird in a separate cage is a good idea so they can talk bird to each other. Let them out together if they get along. Just be careful with other birds as Sennies can be nasty to other birds.
Hope this helps, glad you enjoyed the video
@@Loveofpets thanks for all these helpful tips 🙏
I had a cockatiel until two weeks ago. He seemed excessively tired so I took him to a major vet emergency room. They said it was due to molting. He had no fever and appeared well. No change in appetite. No poo changes. The vet sent us home. He ended up dead an hour after I woke him up.
So sorry for your loss 😓
Wow! So sorry for your loss :(
I have a Senegal named Romey. I’m her person and she is very affectionate with me. She hates everyone else and will attack my weenie dog so when I have her out, I don’t let my dog in the same room. She has a great personality but is a one person parrot for sure.
I suggest u go read bird trick on one person bird and why its bad
This is on my list for consideration, but the more I learn, the more I think Senegal’s aren’t for me. Also looking in to green cheek conure.
Definitely a lot of research to do before getting a bird!
Green cheeks are the best. Little clowns and affectionate
Is the Senegal the same size as the Mayer parrot?
Hi, they are similar in size, however the Meyers is a bit smaller.
@@Loveofpets ok thank you
But what is the difference in the behavior, who is more playable or more friendly. Or..etc?
I have never had a Meyers but my friend has one and from what I learned is that they are supposably more friendlier but it does depend on how they are raised and they personality. If I had to choose between the 2 I would choose a Meyers.
@@Loveofpets thank you
It's been about 2 years I have my senegal parrot but she everytime bites me even if I give her toys a good place quality food idk what to do these days she let me pet her head and her neck but after 5 secondes she starts flying to catch my finger
Random question I have a cage that’s 31 1/2 inch long, 20 inch wide, and 45 inches tall how many budgies would be ok in this size cage?
I have 8 in mine but they are out all day, they start fighting if they stay inside the cage so it depends on how long they will be out of the cage. I would say 4 to six is better as 8 seems crowded
Ok thank you 😁
I have a female 25yr old Senegal... Her eyes are bright orange? All I have seen on TH-cam have yellow around the eyes? Anyone have any advise on this please...?
I like quiet calm birds so I’d consider a Senegal. And I don’t want more than one, and that seems best for them. But definitely would clip their wings because they are so destructive.
It's not very good to clip their wings. If you give them enough toys and attention then they won't be as destructive!
I like the stand he is sitting on, what’s that called?
Hi, here is the link to the perch amzn.to/3benDjJ
