whats your favorite poi?

[parrotlover4]

I am looking at adopting a poi. Whats your favorite of the bunch?

 

[Theresa]

The one that owns me, Rocky is a Sennie

 

[parrotlover4]

Cute! Sennies seem funky.

 

[Greycloud]

definitely Cape parrots. i have raised several others and i really love Capes.

 

[parrotlover4]

Yes same. Capes and sennies. I hope that a cape chooses me at the resque. If they have one

 

[gibsongrrrl]

I've spent time around sennies, red bellies, and jardines, but meyer's are my all time favorite parrot

 

[parrotlover4]

Everyone has a diffrent opinon! I like them all but I would prefer a red belly being not as shy and I like brining my birds out to places like the mall lol.

Do people who have had several species find that they differ quite a bit in personalities and behaviour?

They all have some difrences from what I read. Red bellies more confident, senegals are feisty and capes are gental giants. It is the individual bird though. No two birds are the exact same.

Good luck with your choice

Good luck with your choice

Thanks! Hope the resque has one that chooses me or I may get a grey! Might be to young for a grey yet. Haha

I've had a Meyer's and a Jardine's. I've found the Jardine's is overall an easier bird to deal with.

I've had a Cape, Senegal, Meyer's and Red belly. I have also raised all but the Capes. I think so far my favorite was a female red belly. Though not as colorful as the boys, they are consistently sweet and often overlooked. Next on my list is the Meyer's. I have one named Pippin that I am still feeding out and he is a hoot.

I have a male Senegal and a female RB. Jack, the Senegal is much sweeter and easier to handle. Penny, the RB, used to be super tame but went through a phobic attack a few years ago that changed our relationship. She is still very funny and a show-off, though.

My first poi was a beautiful Meyers. I now have a Senegal & a brown headed parrot, but I can't decide which is my favorite. My Senegal makes us laugh all the time, while my brown headed is so sweet & lovable. I love all of them

 

[Mizzely]

Jardines are on my short wish list

My heart bird is Sunshine Senegal. My favorite Poi species is the Meyers Parrot.

Sunny picked me 15 years ago at a bird show. I find her quiet, intense Senegal bond extremely emotionally satisfying, and her dedication to me returned to her three-fold. She is a one of a kind of love I have never experienced before and want to continue feeling as much and as long as possible.That said, I find the intense, bright colors, supreme loyalty and the headstrong stubbornness of the Meyers irresistible and enjoy them as companions. But I have not been blessed with a Meyers relationship anything as close as that I have with Sunny.

I'm definitely biased, but I'm obsessed with Sennies. I love everything about them.

 

[Katharyn Martin]

I have to admit my Senegal is quite the clown

 

[Nikomania]

My Jardine's. Teak, is an absolute cuddle bug. Haven't owned any other pois, so my recommendation is a bit biased.
