Hello!
I am a proud owner of a Senegal parrot . I got it yesterday from pet shop it is about 14 weeks old. It was probably handreared, because it loves going out of cage and it loves to go on my hands and shoulders. It is very friendly, cuddly and tame. However there are few problems.
First of all When it goes on my hand it has a bad habit of nipping fingernails. Sometimes it is gentle tasting, which i don't mind, however sometimes it is a discomfortable nip. What should I do about it?
Another problem comes up, when I go to school. It is getting very loud and my parents have to take it out of cage and then it is okay, however my parents won't be able to take it out all the time, so it would be great if it could stay in the cage during my school time and when I come back, the first thing i do is I take it out of cage.
And the last problem is finding him a treat. What should I use as a treat for it? On forum I read that millets are a good treat, however my parrot enjoys breaking it, but it doesn't seem to eat it. And i found out that fruit and veggies should be in parrot's 'normal' menu. The reason I asked you is, because i'd like to teach my parrot few tricks
