Senegal Parrot

A compact, medium-sized African parrot with yellow-green and orange-brown plumage and a diagnostic black and yellow head pattern, Senegal parrots inhabit open woodland and forest edges across West Africa from Senegal to Cameroon and Chad. Highly regarded as pet birds for their playful personalities, ability to mimic sounds, and strong bond with individual owners. Resilient and adaptable, they are common in agricultural areas and are heavily trapped for the pet trade. Listed as Least Concern.
