Parrots Species

Parrots species is one thing that you need to take into consideration while buying a parrot because different parrots behave in different ways. Senegal Parrots are the most popular ones which make good pets. Native to West Africa (Senegal, Guinea and Gambia), Senegal Parrots are quiet in nature and are known to get attached to a single person.

These parrots are green colored, have a grey head and bright-yellow iris. Their belly and under parts are distinctly colored. Senegal parrots prefer living in savanna and woodland. They are excellent at talking and imitating sounds like garage door creak or telephone ring. Though not as accurate as African grey parrot in tone and pitch, Senegal parrots are great entertainers.

An ideal diet for this parrot type would be a mixture of safflower and sunflower seeds, oats, pine nuts, canary and millet. If healthy, this bird is not inclined to feather plucking. These parrots grow up to 23 cm in size. For Senegal parrots to be obedient and well behaved, you need to spend some time to train them well.

These parrots show faster development as compared to other parrots species. Even at an early age of six weeks they do many significant things.

To purchase a Senegal parrot, you need to spend around $200 to $800. However, the price may vary depending on many different factors such as the area, parrot’s age, whether it is trained or not etc. Make sure you buy a young Senegal parrot as they have just 20-25 years of life span.
