Hello from Ohio

Hi my name is Erin. I live in the middle of no where ohio. I breed cockatiels and parrotlets. I wish i could say that i breed Green cheek conures and sun conures and quakers but they just go in the box to make me think i might be able to say i breed them. But still no eggs from them. But the quakers are still young and mostly sleep in their box or yell in it to make the fun noise. I also have a pet Green cheek conure named Pugzy-butt. Thats what happens when you tell a toddler that the new birds name is cuddle bug. I just got a senegal parrot as a pet. She is my first experince with them. So far im not disappointed. Although she has to be high up and our house has 9 ft ceilings so i spend a lot of time standing on a chair to get her down. but she is a good bird and has taught Pugzy to whisper. GO JAZZ!!

Hi Erin, welcome to the forum!

Have you considered teaching your new senegal to fly to you?

[triplebbirds]

she is flighted, if thats the word for it. She has her flight feathers. She has what appears to be a weaning issue she wants to feed my hand a lot. We dont allow that and i remind her she is a big bird. If i dont let her do that then sometimes i get a nibble for punishment and she gets foofed as a punishment. I havent trimmed her wings yet because she is still adjusting to this house and when i have the babies they get their wings trimmed very gradually. I have not thought of teaching her to fly to me because well i dont know. But i had never thought about that until i seen a video, Ok my 4 yr old seen a video on i think her name was kili or something along those lines, i cant remember names very well but the gentelman that has that bird its a senegal and he is a member of this board. Very sorry bad with names to begin with and only had 2 drinks of coffee thus far this morning. But anyway kili, i think, was flying between two people Like on command. So honestly we have considered it.

Check out Michael's posts in the Recall Flight & Flighted Tricks section. Not too long ago I started recall training my bird and I found Michael and Kili to be very helpful!

Good luck and welcome to the forum!
