Anyone from South Africa?

'ello!

Just want to find out if there's anyone from South Africa on this forum?
I have a friend who is part of the rat community, but it's hard finding fellow parrot crazy people.
If there's enough of us we could start a Facebook group!

Hi!

I am also from South Africa and actually wondered myself whether I was the only one from here.
I own a :senegal: now for about 5 months.

Anyway, nice hearing from you.

Yes nice meeting you!

I had a senegal parrot, they are lovely little creatures, and SOOO smart!!

:senegal: my senegal's name was Missy because she had the personality of a princess.

Keep me up to date with your :senegal: 's training please, I would love to see some pics!

Hi

Yes, they are smart. I am new to owning birds, and succeeded to teach her quite a few tricks in the time that she's been with me now. She can step up, wave, make wings and target. Currently I am trying to get her to turn on her own. But we will get it eventually :D

I still haven't quite figured out how to post pictures on the forum, but will try again soon.

Oh, her name is Lilly... ;)

So, you own a African Gray.. I actually considered an African Gray but decided against it since I get a degree of allergies. And apparently from what I read Senegals has less feather dust.
But I still love the big guys :) . Oh and then I prefer being bitten by a smaller bird... Since we all know that just does happen from time to time.
