Senegal Parrots

]]> Senegal ParrotsThe Senegal Parrot is a member of the Poicephalus parrot species. They originate from West Africa, and they are a small-to-medium sized parrot, which grow to be about 10 inches long. In the wild they normally live for about 25 years, but in captivity they have been known to live for upto 50 years.

They have grey feathers on on their head, and down to the top of their chest. On their lower abdomen is a yellow, or orange-yellow, v-shaped section. The upper abdomen is bright green, the underside of the wing and tail is a bright yellow, and the upper tail feathers are brown-green.

The Senegal Parrot is very similar to the Conure Parrot in that he is a very playful and fun-loving parrot. This means that Senegals need lots of toys to avoid them becoming bored. Even though they are quiet by parot standards, they do make a variety of noises, and they often become good talkers. They are very popular pet parrots, because they enjoy human-contact, and are usually very affectionate to their owners.
