Syd Senegal Parrot Kipling Bag

Syd my Senegal Parrot Kipling Bag

I have noticed recently that Syd my Senegal Parrot seems to be attracted to my Kipling Bag. He first chomped off the monkey’s thumb, I thought nothing of it, now when I come home and I put the bag on the chair, somehow he manages to get onto it. He propels himself onto the open bag. I am not sure if it is because he knows when I go out I have the bag with me or he wants to come with in the bag. Bless his little head, his so cute, see the pictures, new toy I guess, I can’t say I am too happy, slightly wary, I will have to find a new bag if he chomps anything else.

Some cute pictures here and above of dear Syddie, he has another new thing at dinner, he announces “Sleeping”, if you make a bit of noise with a plate, he says “sleeping” again. If you leave the door open and there is a bit of a draft he also complains, moaning away. I guess we all getting little quirks and a thing as we mature, Syd is 7, and he turned 7 in January I did slightly forget. The lady in the pet shop did not order his favorite parrot toy with the wooden banana, peach and another fruit object that tastes like the fruits. I guess it is imported to South Africa and the reps don’t always deliver.

Syd my beloved Senegal Parrot and sleeping

Another new things is I must go lie down on the bed next to him when he goes to sleep, I did it the one time when he was a bit dehydrated now the expects it all the time. A real little monkey he is, he understands everything you say really. I told him the other day something was at his one foot, he was looking for it, straight away I told him he reached exactly where I said. Amazing. I play Whitney Houston music to Syddie, so when he heard them playing it on the TV as they said Whitney Houston dead, he was all ears. He loves the music from the Bodyguard from Whitney, what a happening Whitney Houston 2012. I am so thankful for this little Senegal Parrot who has changed my life, taught me to love again, that things are impermanent, to live in the moment. Parrots or birds are amazing to watch really, we could learn a thing or two from them, enjoying eating his guava completely engrossed or when he drinks his berry and guava fruit juice, he closes his eyes like his savoring the moment.

A Senegal Parrot can be adorable but they have there moods as well, like us humans, good and bad days. They can be extremely playful and talkative, absolutely like company - they don't like being alone at all. Leave the radio on or some music, it feels like company for them.

Food and the Senegal Parrot Birds

Vets generally tell you to give them the parrot food mix, but my dear Syd liked it for a short while and then decided it was not for him, I still bought two more packs but no mister would not eat it, decided human food was more to his liking. He of course loves veggies and fruit of all kinds, grapes, guavas, pears are his favorite. Syd also loves broccoli or he has a love hate relationship with brocoli, he will have a great big fight with raw broccoli, corn on the cob - raw or cooked is also one of his all time greats. He does have in his food bowl in the morning fresh walnuts, whole nuts/monkey nuts and sunflower seeds, I know they say sunflowers are not so good for parrots, but in his case it is not his primary seed in his diet. Syd absolutely loves the yolk of poached eggs or boiled, he can't eat it fast enough and of course he loves cooked pasta of all kinds. Spaghetti being his all time favorite pasta, of course with the sauce on it, then he holds it nicely and proceeds to chomp all the way down, sort of.

In the home with the Senegal Parrot Behavior

The Senegal Parrot can be extremely demanding, I am studying and working from home, but he can be quite demanding of your time, they need lots of attention. They can be highly entertaining though, sitting giggling next to the computer, giggles like me of course, climbing up anything that he is able to. Just on the floor he becomes this little stalker, stalking anybodies shoes, becomes this little demon. I won't talk about my ears and fingers, they've had some nice chomps on them, I have learnt to become more cautious, might just be my little adorable Senegal Parrot Pet.
