very sweet!! I can do that with my sennie too. I have her almost for 11 years (coming week is her birthday) and I got her when she was 13 weeks old. Sometimes you hear stories of people who also have a sennie and that they can be a big character birdie, but my sennie is very easy and sweet. But you have your Ozzy not that long so wow... way to go!!!

Smithy, that's awesome what you have accomplished with your Senegal so far!

My Senegal is the biggest suck in the world and he trusts me to do pretty much anything. Maybe it's a Senegal thing!

A more interesting question would be how many people's Senegals would allow someone else to do this to them! :lol:

That's crazy, I got Sadie when she was 17 weeks old and I've had her for 2 months! (wow it feels like longer) She lets me do all that to her too, but draws blood on my boyfriend when he even just tries to take her out of her cage to let her be on her playstand.

I can do that, although I try not too because of how all body petting can get them, errr, "going" ;)

My dad can also do whatever he wants with my Senegal. Not sure she'll allow many other people to put their hands anywhere she can't see.

I know this is an old thread, and idk if anyone is still following it, but I just got my sennie Echo, like three days ago and he lets me do all that too. As well as my boyfriend, sisters, and mom. Hes the most easy going bird I've ever seen.

He's two now. So either he's a late bloomer for the terrible two's, or I lucked out.
And I'm his third owner.
Before I got him I was worried about his level of socialization, but now i see it must have been pretty good.

Saga is not a Senegal, but close enough I guess. She has a very hot temper and is quite unpredictable, but I can hold her, touch her beak and "scratch" it, scratch her whole head, hold her head in my fingers, stretch her wings, lay her on her back (in my hands, lap or somewhere, once she even let me lay her in a strangers hands), and sometimes even hold her upside down in her feet and/or tailfeathers.
Most often, she lets me do this, because she trusts me not to hurt her. The only thing she has an issue with is hands over her back.

Proud slave of Saga and Cirino, and missing Yondo and Egon.
