The Meyer's: They love loving you.
The Meyer's to me are soft birds. Some people call them shy, but I think soft is a better
word. They do not seem to be as athletic or play as hard as some of the others - more to
the refined, easy going, roll with the flow type of bird. They are just waiting for the
moment to be allowed to love you. They love loving you. They like toys along the lines of
puzzles and things to work and study. Meyer's seem to enjoy working on knots in rawhide
for endless amounts of time or trying to see why the little bell stays in the plastic cage.
Meyer's are not the best talkers of the bunch, although some have been known to be
outstanding. They seem better at sharing their person than the Senegals. Meyer's radiate
love; they are the happiest when they can be loving you. They don't talk as well as the
Senegals, but some do talk well. I love them for the love they radiate. I recommend them
for young adults about 10 years old and up and also for families with small children and
common sense.

The Senegal parrot: Senegals love you loving them.
Senegals as pets are very charming, endearing birds. They are affectionate and funny.
Some can learn large vocabularies and are willing to be handled by anyone. Others will,
if coaxed, learn only a few words. Intense is a word a lot of people use in describing
them. They love you loving them; the world revolves around them. A senegal is a "me" bird.
They definitely have a good time playing, but they want their adoration from you too.
Senegals adore their person and demand the same in return. They find mischievous ways of
getting into things, almost as if to get your attention. You can almost see the little mind
working. I love them because of the intenseness they have.
