Beatrice, I met the cutest Senegal yesterday. Went to a local pet store , not a chain, a Mom and Pop kinda place, and they had a young Seni in the open play area. He was the boldest thing, sitting right on the edge of the enclosure, chirping away. I offered by balled hand to him to see if he would step up, and got a nip on the finger as my reward. You know the kind they can deliver. OK says I , you're not ready for that I guess. I chated to him a little more, and then moved on the do my shopping. But I swung by the enclosure again, and he was still there, but this time when I approached , he bowed his head and offered his neck for scratching. And Boy did he love it it. Top of head, beak, chin, back of neck, all with his little eyes closed. The other customers were ooo-ing and ahhhh ing at how cute he was. Little did they know that he had to get his pound of flesh ( well only a tiny drop of blood) first, in order to get the privilege of scratchin him. I knew I was not bringing another parrot home ( we are strictly a one parrot family), so I whispered to him to be a good boy for other people, and he will find a home that loves him. To be careful of dogs and cats and to eat all his veggies and fruits. I told him what a smart parrot he was and wished him a good life.
!
prayers going your way.
