Haha

Hi Alan, we have a new family member. 3.5 months Senegal Parrot "Marvin" (Says hello to you) I watch all your videos in order. I do what you say and my parrot learns instantly. There are difficulties, i wont give up and I believe I will succeed thanks to you. Peace...
It's also good to give him fruits
You should feed him veggies and fruits. My Sennie loves apples, corn, peas, walnuts, and Harrison pellets
My friend has one and was thinking about giving it to me when I have my own place because their bird has “chosen” me haha
😲😲😲
Lol I'm like elfie, not into surprises or mornings
ha!
I have a Senegal and I know they hold in their poop all night as a way to not let a predator know where they are. I know you really love your parrot. However, I suggest that unless you have a problem snoring, the bird should sleep in your room. They sometimes have night frights and need to have the light come on for a few minutes or they may fly around blind and injure themself during the night. Not a troll, just trying to help you and want you two to have the maximum life together. You are the model family for this bird. Excellent. You understand this bird. Happy to see another parrot treated right.
Good insights! And I snore really loud, Hahah. Elfie is not a night freight bird from experience. He probably gets better sleep than me he’s got an air purifier and everything. 🦜🤔😎✅
Ahh. Thanks for the tip even though you were telling him but I'll try it.
Ok glad i found this, also been wanted a parrot type bird and moving soon.
I let my Sennie wake up at her pace. I partially uncover her cage and she yawns and stretches. I go get her breakfast and uncover her the rest of the way and then she excitedly says " Birdie " and eats and then starts chattering for me to pick her up and come out for the day.
It's so funny hearing a grown man say "hello little cuteness" 🤣
it's almost like grown men are allowed to adore their pets or somethin
Such a great dad❤️❤️❤️
Thanks I try haha
Lol to him dipping his food in water. I wonder what goes through his bird brain that makes him want to do that lol.
I think it’s because his pellets/food are dry so he wants to make it juicy 🙌🏽
Great job Dad & Alfie.
Thanks!
Bird cool dude
He not rude
First he pood
Then he food
Hi Alan and Elfie, love watching and learning about parrots and other birds.
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video man. I had a caique for 8 years but he was unfortunately just too noisy and destructive. I was pretty naive with him being my first ever parrot and have so many regrets, but will definitely use something similar to this routine when and if I can ever get my hands on a sennie!
I love your channel! Thanks for the informative vids. 💕 Alfy is adorables as usual!
@puffpets thank you for the support!
This video helped me a lot.. thank you!
Glad it helped!
Aww I’m thinking about getting a Senegal parrot 🦜 and I can’t wait I have done LOADS of research on them and I’m sooo exited 😆
Yaaasss!
my senegal is very much a bird's bird. she was abused by her former owner so she's terrified of human contact. you can feed her, change her water, give her toys and clean her cage, but she mostly likes to be left alone.
Yep that can happen under those circumstances!
He loves them pellets, what are they please? I thought coloured pellets were bad for birds. Thank you x i so need to harness train, its proven to be quite difficult even tho I've watched videos and took it very slow. Did you make your hanging perch, it looks fab xx
New Subbie, I love your vids, really educational, informative and fresh. Thank you for taking time out to share, Elfie is a darling........ I’m a first time bird owner, I have a sennie, Oskar, had him for about 3 months. I was born and bred in London and grew up with various other pets all my life. I now live in Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬and haven’t been able to meet like minded (and educated ) bird owners. I have been trawling the web specifically for sennie info and I’m glad to have this platform to learn about these amazing birds and lucky to have people like you sharing your bird knowledge!
Hey Diva! Awesome great to hear you have a Sennie! They're so cute when they're lil baby birbs! Brace yourself for when puberty hits at around 2 years old. haha Thanks for subscribing!!
what are the dimensions of Elfies cage? and where did you get it? im getting a senegal soon (: btw i love your vids keep the work up
How long did it take Alfy to learn fetch? I've been trying to teach Melon to drop a ball in a container, but she doesn't get it yet. I just want to get an idea of how long I should expect it to take her to learn new things.
Also, do you have to keep training up for the life of the bird, or once they learn something do they remember it?
Thanks for your help.
I brought my baby senegal home a week ago today and I've been working with her to learn turn around, target training and waive. My question is how long should I expect it to take before she learns these tricks?
She was hatched on 11-20-22, so she is still a baby.
Thanks.
Hi, when you first got Alfie how were you able to determine his sleep and wake times?
What is that stand called it looks really nice and fun for the birds
Hey Alan aka BirdBae and Elfie soon I’ll have my Senegal home. What brand is Elfies cage?
Hi there am Donald I appreciate your help with the video's. But I actually have a problem with my sennie it never eat when am around.
I'm doing all the research I can before getting a senegal parrot and this video is great help!
Hey I was wondering, has he ever tried flying away WHILE wearing the harness? Would he fly alongside you if you started running for some reason?
He hasn't tried to fly away yet, but there is the possibility of being spooked and then flying away. I focused on bonding with Elfie and building a good relationship before harness training so he generally likes to stay with me or on my shoulder, should he try to fly away the harness is tied to my belt loop :)
What is your face book community fb please x loved this video x
Hey what cage are you using for elfie ??
Hi love your vids just got a Senegal Parrot wondering if you have and helpful advice
Awesome man 😎 , how old is it and what’s it’s personality like?
I just got my first Senegal and I was wondering if you could give me some advice for diet, mine is about a year old and I can carry him in my hands on his back just like Alfie. I also subscribed to see more
Awesome! Yes check out the video on the channel and free download on parrot diet!

Hi Team, Alan and Elfie! :)
Awesome video. Did you get Elfie has a baby or full grown?
I just got my senegal parrot but full grown, It is kinda hard bonding with it.
The default instinct of flee always kicks in when I approach the cage. :)
Is it too late to make it comfortable and have it jump on my fingers like yours?
I got Elfie as an adult and no it’s never too late 🙌🏽
@@parrotsco.3224 Cool! Pls, is there any of your videos online or any resource you know that can help with this?

I’m a new subby!! Wondering how he does in the apartment? Is he loud or do you ever get complaints? Moving out soon and definitely want to know about Senegals and how their noise level is in the apartment?
In general yes they tend to be on the “quieter” side but that’s relative to other parrots and parrots still make noise so look into pet friendly apartments and will need to work on reducing screaming forsure check out the video I did on that here: th-cam.com/video/ymS8ABqX-Us/w-d-xo.html
theBirdBae Thanks so much I definitely know they love to scream lol so we’ll have to try and reduce that but thanks a lot I’ll check out that video out :)
Nice video 👍 I am thinking of getting a Senegal parrot or a cockatiel. What’s your suggestion ?
Both are great, one is a bit bigger in size, it's personal preference and what specific traits you want in the parrot species you choose.
theBirdBae thank you 🙏
Can you make a video on how to harness train?
Actually made a video on this! Check out the channel let me know what you think for the video. I can go more in detail step-by-step. 🤔
NIce bird. I just relaized you live by my neck of the woods. Mira Mesa? I'm by Sorrento Valley. Our lovebird, who I had for 15 years just passed away a week ago and I'm researching what parrot I should get next. The Senegal is one of them. Any suggestions on where to find a reputable breeder in SD?
What’s going on Ian, absolutely. I got Elfie rehomed at Birdsmart. I like Our Feathered Friends as well. But honestly you can adopt a bird at Free Flight Birds in Del Mar. They have awesome birds to adopt for a rehoming fee, from caiques to macaws. I would check there first, tell them the Parrots&Co. from TH-cam sent you :)
Cool!!! Thanks for the info. I've been to free flight birds and the kids had a blast. I'll look into rehoming a bird from there. Thanks bro!!!
My Senegal is 12 years old and bites me all the time but not my husband so I can’t take him out and handle him; therefore he doesn’t get a lot of out of the cage time. I’ve tried wearing gloves but he’s afraid of them. Any tips on how to win his trust of my handling him?
Hey another awesome video. I’m not to sure what to make of this but I have a Senegal about a year old and it seems he has slot of fluff and I also noticed he lost 2 long feathers and he tends to preen himself very intensely he doesn’t do that all the time, but I also noticed that he is losing like regular feathers as well. I also did notice that he has a spot on him near the lower part of his neck but I hope I’m not seeing things.
He also randomly goes crazy with moving his head side to side and then flies around and screeches from time to time.
Not sure if you have any input into this type of behaviour. He’s got toys, a big cage, my company ( but seems more interested in a mirror, and other things lol )
I did manage to get a head scratch on him and seems he’s growing a lot of feathers.
Any thoughts I would appreciate it!
By the way it’s a boy :)
Is that an aviator harness? What size did you go with? I went with an extra small for my red bellied parrot but mah boi is thicc and it seems too small 😭 he's not a fan of me handling his wings still so I take him out in his carrier. Looking forward fo the day he accepts his harness
Elfie has the same size but he’s a lil runt lol so it fits him well was thinking of getting him a Small as an Xmas 🎄 gift 🤔
Great video! How much did he cost? My kids are bugging to get one...
About $600 rehoming fee, $200 for the cage, toys $100 upfront, carrier $80, travel cage $130, vet expenses $250 when he got sick once etc, time commitment = everyday 7 days/week (like having another 2 year old). Make sure you can commit to having another adopted kid in the family haha!
So I have a parakeet right now which was my first bird and I’ve been thinking about getting another bird because I love my parakeet so much. And I came from another channel that said this would be a good starter bird. What are your thought on this bird and do you think this type of bird would be a good second bird?
It depends on the characteristics in a parrot you’re looking for. Personally I went with a Senegal Parrot because they tend to be on the quieter side (relative to parrots) I work from home and am on the phone a lot so it was ideally + size doesn’t require a lot of space etc, I would research what characteristics you want in your next parrot 🦜 and take your time. Also ask yourself if you’re to commit more time and energy into +1 bird to make sure the whole flock is happy :)
theBirdBae Ok, thanks!
Senegal parrots are very jealous little parrots and they can inflict a super nasty bite. They are out for blood. Unless you have alot of time and patience a cockatiel would be a far better choice. Senegal's are also prone to sinus infections and upper respiratory problems, money at the vets.
How do you know how much to feed him so he's not malnourished ?
On average what the least time your supposed to spend with him or her ?
Hi I’ve been looking into getting a Senegal for a year now but I go to school is it ok if I still get one
And how much time do I have to spend with him a day
Imagine if you had a 2 year old baby. That’s what it’s like to own a parrot. I don’t recommend you get one if you’re in school
can you let us kow what type of cage you have Elfie in?
What pellets do you use
I use a brand called KayTee you can find it on Amazon. Currently I found a good local blend from a bird store. If you get it local, I would check that the ingredients are quality mix of protein, carbs, fat and vitamins not just sugar and dye.
How do you keep your cage so clean?
Good ol’ soap and water haha
@@parrotsco.3224 lol
How often and how are you getting rid of poop that gets stuck between certain areas?
That's my biggest issue
I got a Senegal parrot two days ago and he's still kinda hostile and shy...any beginners tip?...Lol they'd go a long way..this one isn't trained yet
Check out the channel + video: First Bird Mistakes To Avoid, congrats on your Sennie!
isnt it really hot for the bird, covered like that? with 2 covers. always worried about my bird being comfortable.
I had a Meyers and Gray Temneh….Question…Does your girlfriend get the same love…lol
Yes of course! P.S. we just returned from passage SD > Catalina Island > Two Harbors. 170 nautical miles round trip! ⛵️ Thought you would appreciate it haha minus the parrot 🦜
What pellets does he eat?
They are a local brand (checked ingredients myself), Kaytee and Harissons are some other good brands ideally with no added sugar, Zupreem also had a natural option with no sugar for pellets
I found Top's brand pellets on Amazon because none of the local stores here where I live have any without sugar. I just got them and my parakeet loves them.
Nice!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
How do you can learn him toilet in one place?
You just say the word poop 💩 when he’s on the stand and then when he’s done pick him up. Time how long it takes him in between poops. When it’s near the time it takes him to poop you put him on the stand. After some time he will learn poop on stand then you get picked up.
@@parrotsco.3224 many thanks
Never get a noisy bird around your cynical parrot. They’re very quiet. I had one. I don’t want for 30 years. You still doing good, but I got a Conye and a lover, and after scream months of being in the room with them it’s not a parent turned into Al Las, you ever heard every day. So loud. I had them from 3028 years and he never made a noise. Yeah you play with them anymore. I talk back-and-forth via gone and he would talk back, but he never made a lot of noise now. He screams just like the pet that can you do do
