Sexual Maturity?

Postby GreenWing » Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:09 pm

I have a female Senegal Parrot, still a baby at 6 months. She is being a little more nippy lately, so I was wondering if there's a general age where Senegals go through sexual maturity?

They generally go through sexual maturity between the age of 2-4.

Agree with above post, she is too young. She is probably just bluffing and testing the ground rules.

She is a baby. Babies put everything in thier mouths. Myrtle is two and just loves to put my ear lobe in her mouth.
