Meet Pandora. I've had her a fee months. She's 7 months old. Took to me really well and fast. I have a bull mastiff that hates other animals so had to be careful with him. Although they don't get on Samson has been absolutely tremendous. Here are some pics.
Both Rilla (the Tinmeh African grey) and Lexi (the Senegal) enjoy the occasional chicken bone left over after a roast. They don't care much about any meat scraps, but adore the marrow!
What a cutie! Looks like you've got a nice setup too. Good to get her on a wide variety of foods young! Just be sure those are feeder roaches, and not wild ones I grew up with a house full of parrots who all went after bugs any chance they got. One got worms once after he got hold of a (wild) black house cricket. My amazon is too much of a he-diva to eat bugs:whistling2: but he will eat (plain) scrambled eggs and a little cheese here and there. Best of luck with her!
She very rarely uses the perches that came with the cage. She uses her oyster shell and natural perches loads though. Thanks for the tip though. I'll definitely be on the look out for a big apple tree branch now for her. Just any apple tree (crab etc) and any preparation needed?
We use the Bramley apple branches and stripped them of bark, although realised the birds could do it, but we still do it on some of the branches! Any apple tree - eating or cooking, not sure about crab apple. Cherry or pear would be ok, but might be worth checking plus other fruit trees. Certainly avoid pine/conifer tree and similar
Our Senegal has chewed a hole in the curtains, the budgies have stripped a wall of woodchip paper in their aviary and the African Grey has chewed a wood shelf, the edge of the tortoise table - certainly need to keep an eye on what they can reach! I wouldn't swap them for anything though.
I love senagals, there little flying clowns, does she sleep on her back,I had one 20 years ago and mine did all the time.i lost my blue front to a stroke a while ago at 47 years old and life without a parrot in the house is quiet and boring.

It wasn't like losing a pet to be honest,more like a child or a close family member,even typing now I can feel a lump in my throat, he was a huge part of my life for 30 years.(my parents got him for me when I was 10).
Pandora is just over 14 month old. Isn't talking English yet but mutters away. Wouldn't bother me if she doesn't talk though. Her little mutters are fun.
Mine was called polly ,(I was 10 when I got him remember,at 10all parrots are called polly), he had a huge vocabulary and for some reason used to laugh like a dirty old man. Over the years he picked new words and sounds up and would stop saying other things, then sometimes years later would start saying them again. And like a real kid he would pick certain words up very easly,quite often words you didn't want him to and you could guarantee he would say them when my gran was around.
a new sennie, how beautiful. love sennies, ive got 2, both rescues and an african grey.
