Hi, i'm Bogart the Senegal Parrot. My age is about 10 years, and my previous human family rescued me from outdoors many years ago as a youngster. I came to Mickaboo after plucking all of my chest and some of my wing feathers out during the recent hot weather. I also have been cage-bound for a year or so because i like to lunge at fingers and bite them. That's just my way of being playful, though.

Mickaboo is taking me for veterinary care and bloodwork to determine the cause of my plucking. Hopefully it was just a combination of heat and boredom. I already have a fine coating of down feathers and even a few contour feathers growing in, which is a good sign.

I'm a very friendly girl in my rough-and-tumble sort of way. I have learned to step onto a stick when I am feeling too aggressive, and then onto a hand when I've calmed down. I will point at my head with my toes to show you where to scratch me, and if you do it right I will purr like a kitten! My favorite foods are apples and grapes, and i have tried other new foods like carrots and corn on the cob in foster care, too.

I just need a home where I will be understood and loved even when i get too excited. I love other birds and people and need lots of out-of-cage time. I'm a sweet girl with just a touch of mischief in my eyes, and I need a little bit of TLC to get me socialized again. Trust me, I will be a rewarding project for the right person.
