Hello!
I have a young Senegal Parrot, shes about 12 weeks old now!
I left her in her cage the first four weeks, she would only crawl out on top of the cage, but nothing more. After i got done with that, i took her on my hand, let her bite for a while while feeding her lots of nice things, and all went well! The past few weeks we've grown inseperable! She goes out with me, she even learned where to get milkshakes from! And she has hers without the straw *sigh* she's a real socialite, beeing friends with everyone and every animal, and she seems to like the atention!
Now.. Recently she started to "bite" in my neck, or so i thought! But we noticed she's preening me. She wants to get out all the small hairs she can find! So i wonder, will this behavior pass? I love her to pieces allready, i just dont feel for this painful version of bikiniwaxing she leaves alone all other hair and flesh, just not the little hairs!
Also, she's starting to "push" her beak against my neck! And not in the way they do when cleaning the side, but she really pushes her front beak in my neck. Its not hurtful in any way, its just some behavior ive never seen before!
I hope the professionals here can shed some light and help this soon to be bald man out
