I had a Senegal for a year. While he was in the care of a friend, he stopped eating and died mysteriously, the vet couldn't say what was wrong either... he was an incredible pet! Birds are amazing creatures!
That said, once I find a good home for the cat that is currently boarding in my apartment I'll be getting a pair of Pacific Parrotlets... I love the small parrots! I just don't feel I can trust a cat with birds, and the birds would likely be uncomfortable.
Beautiful lovebirds, and I guarantee that things will get loud... I had a single Senegal, and he was pretty loud just on his own! But rarely did it bother me, unless I stayed up late and then he woke up early in the morning. My fault, not his
And this is the first I've heard of someone owning a touraco. I've heard of them before, but never met anyone that had one. I looked at an African Starling in a store in Winnipeg, very cool looking bird... I think the larger non-parrot type birds are underestimated as interesting and rewarding pets.
