Larry and friends 🥔

I love sengals! I have an older rescue and she is one of my favorites. She was left at a pet store for consignment when her owner was taken to a rest home in old age. She had been sitting in a cage on the floor and no one had taken in interest in her in over a year. We were there picking up bird food and my wife saw a dead cockroach in her cage and felt sorry for her so she asked if we could get her. We did, and in the process of checking out the store owner said she came with a letter from the prior owner. I read it and I think she was well loved. 25 years old named “Nikki”. I never found the woman and she only left her first name, but we renamed the bird “piggy” and she has been a joy. If you have never had a senegal, they can be very talkative for a small bird with a very clear voice, like a mini African Grey. This one entertains me all day whistling, clicking, chattering, saying “goodbye!” and “See you later!” to everyone when they leave the house or go back to their rooms and cages. Sometimes the animal no one wants back in the corner will end up being the best one you never know you needed.
