I'm new to the group, but not a new parrot owner. I have my own little ark full of pets 2 dogs, 2 cats and (again) 2 parrots. I have been a Sun Conure owner for over 15 years now, and had up to 4 at one time. I've sadly lost 3 of those 4 over the years and I have 1 left, a male named Tiki. He is bonded to my boyfriend now, even though he was originally my parrot from the age of 6 months. I can't hold him any more. He prefers to bite me now, as I'm competition I was missing the companionship of a parrot and someone locally knew I am a bird person and she had a Senegal available for rescue.
Well I am currently trying out the little guy (I think it's a boy at least). His name is Niko. He is a very sweet little guy. I've found he's quieter than my sun conure, but much more of a talker and noise mimic. He makes a clicker noise, so I think someone has spent time clicker training. Unsure on any tricks he may or may not know He liked me immediately, which surprised me. I thought there would be a warm up period before he accepted me. He already tries to feed me, and allows me to scritch around his head. I've been told he will allow you to turn him over onto his back and he will lay there. I haven't tried it yet as I have only had him for 2 days now. While I am experienced with birds I don't want to push his boundaries too fast He has already stolen my heart and I'm pretty sure I'll be adopting him after his trial period.
