#The #Senegal #parrot ( #Poicephalus #senegalus ) is a #Poicephalus parrot which is a resident breeder across a wide range of west Africa. It makes migrations within #west #Africa,according to the availability of the fruit, seeds and blossoms which make up its diet. It is considered a farm #pest in Africa, often feeding on maize or millet. It is popular in aviculture.
Senegal #parrots are birds of open woodland and savanna.They flock most commonly in countries in West Africa.It is a gregarious species, continuously chattering with a range of whistling and squawking calls. Senegal #parrots live an average of approximately 25–30 years in the wild, and have been known to #live for 50 years in captivity.
Senegal parrots are about 23 cm (9.1 in) long, weigh about 120 to 170 g (4.2 to 6.0 oz) They have a relatively large head and beak for their overall size, and feathers form a short broad tail. Adults have a charcoal grey head, grey beak, bright yellow irises, green back and throat, and yellow underparts and rump. The yellow and green areas on a Senegal parrot's front form a V-shape resembling a yellow vest worn over green. #Young Juveniles have dark grey, almost black, irises, which change to light grey.
#Senegal parrots are not sexually dimorphic, but there are some hypotheses which sometimes might help to determine the gender of adult #birds:
The V-shape of the vest is usually longer in females; in females the green area extends down over the chest to between the legs, whereas in males the tip of the green area ends midway down the chest.
The female's beak and head are generally slightly smaller and narrower than the male's.
The under-tail covert feathers (short feathers under the base of the main tail feathers) are generally mostly yellow in the male and generally mostly green in the female.
Males are generally, but not always, larger and heavier than female #birds.
Hand reared Senegal parrots are one of the most popular parrots to be kept as #pets, and the most popular Poicephalus parrot. Their calls are generally high pitched whistles and squawks along with mimics, but they are not as noisy as many other parrot species.
They make for a good companion and are quite friendly compared to other parrot species. Senegal parrots are independent at times, needing a very fair amount of sleep during the day. Keeping two as pets can very well aid the parrots social and physical health as they have a companion.
Wild caught Senegal parrots do not usually become tame, and do not make good pets.
