I'm birdsitting a Senegal for a week, in the understanding that her owner will birdsit my birds at some point in the future. I figured it wasn't quite appropriate to share pictures of her on the "Pets you own" thread (even though I'm not shy about claiming ownership of wild animals), posting someone else's pet there just feels wrong. So I'm starting a thread for pets you don't own but are able to photograph, on the hopes that Grimstone will maybe share pictures of his friend's quaker.
Like most Senegals I've met, she's a really sweet bird, and quite inquisitive. She's more talktative than any parrot I've ever had, likely in part because I never really tried to train my parrots to talk. She mostly says "hello," "hi" and "whatcha doing," but her owner mentioned several other phrases she knows. She tried to "help" me when I was cropping and scaling these images, by renaming them things like "b n jh" and changing the crop tool to various other tools. Currently she's trying to dissect my keyboard to see what's underneath it.
Unfortunately, my birds don't like the Senegal very much, and after my quaker made an attempt to attack her I put her back. Now my quaker jumps off my shoulder and runs back to the cage if I try to put her on my shoulder, and my green-cheek won't even step up. I assume they're boycotting me until the other parrot goes away, but I'll keep trying to get them to persuade them spend time with me even while we have a visitor.
