New bird!

He is great! He isn't hand tame but with time, he will be better! But question, he is in the main room and I want to bring Lilo down. I know you need to quarantine him but Lilo will get sad if she is in my room for a month! What should I do? Thanks!

Ok here is some more info about him, he is very loud and talkative and plucks just a little but that can be healed in time! He is sweet and loves to sit on my shoulder and let me scratch his head a little bit but he is a doll!

Hi! I work in animal care with exotics, and any new transfer is always quarantined. Technically you wouldn't even want them sharing the same air. If coming from a trusted facility, we take a fecal sample and once it is cleared we will introduce animals. But typically what is safest is keeping them separated for a month with minimum three fecal samples taken. Obviously this is a different circumstance, but if you have your vet check out the newbie and you get a clean bill of health, then you could shorten the quarantine sentence

Hi! Ok thanks, we did move him to the downstairs bathroom so crisis averted! So we will introduce the friends in about a month

Be careful letting the new guy ride on your shoulder. Sennies tend to chomp unexpectedly, especially if they are startled or if a "rival" gets too close.

Congrats on the new bird! Pois are great companions.

Congratulations!! You'll have to tell us how this came to happen! I thought your dad didn't want another bird?

Ya I hoped for a long tiome that maybe he would change his mind and I proved to him with my school and attitude that he could bring another bird home. So I found an add on craigslist for a Senegal parrot, it was just down the road from us so we stopped by after a bit of phone calling back and forth, and we liked him! He seems to like my dad better but he will tolerate me and sits on me but is a little grouchy because the wife never brought him out of the cage. so it is a work in progress! and now he is "hel8ping" me t+9 type! if you cant tell!
