It was so bad, I actually dreaded going into the birdroom! Of course, a Senegal bite cannot compare to a cockatoo's because although the Senegal's can do damage and hurt, they don't have the strength in their beaks that a cockatoo has! I mean, Linus could have broken or chopped off my finger with no problem if he had wanted to...
Our Sennie, Weston is a tiny little thing. (She became Weston because, at the time, we had another Sennie so she was "the Weston Senegal." It got shortened.)
I think she had a mate which you can see dead in the video I posted. Weston is a very friendly and VERY smart bird. She always says "Hi guys" when I walk into the office. We have 3 birds in there. They are birds we think need a little more peace and quiet than the main floor gives them. The other two are also birds we keep cage-free. So Weston knows that I say "hi guys" when I walk in there. She only says that when I walk in. This wouldn't be so amazing, but I'm only there 1 or 2 days a week, and she's only been in the office since June. I don't know how long she has been saying it, because she has a quiet little voice, and her speech isn't super clear.
EDIT : I made a several posts. Don't miss the stuff on the previous page!
