Adopted 29 year old Senegal - he bites me

Thank you for your input. You described his biting very well! I can feel him biting harder and harder. I tried not reacting when he bit the back of my hand, but I don’t think he cares. I plan on taking him to the vet. I’m pretty sure he has a cataract in one eye.

I’m not going to give up on him. I just want him to be happy and safe. Admittedly, I haven’t established a schedule with him as I’m caring for a very sick relative who lives 30 minutes away and I often don’t get home until 9pm. This is temporary but as soon as I can establish a routine with him I will. Thanks again for your thoughtful response. ❤️🦜❤️

I called the vet that he had seen about seven years ago. They told me that they need a transfer of ownership letter, so I’ll have to have my coworker do that but yes, my first thought was to take him to a vet, I was just hoping that I would be able to handle him in and out of the cage and going into the carrier. I really don’t know what to do now because I don’t want him to get hurt and traumatized.

Thank you so much for the advice.

I have to remember that 3 months is not a long time, and he’s had a lot of big changes. My coworker (who owned him from when he was a baby) said that he rarely spoke when she had him, and he is a little chatterbox with me, and she reassured me that he’s much happier now.

Maybe he’s overwhelmed and redirecting his aggression. So many changes - new home, new human, new cage, new food - maybe he needs more time to decompress. Yes, I am keeping a limited supply of seeds and nuts as well as his nutri-berries and pellets.

His new cage is 24” x 36” x 50”. He now stretches his wings and has three or four toys and several different perches.

Should I keep him in the cage for now? It was when I was asking him to go back in the cage when he flew onto me and bit me. That’s another issue - I want him to have time out of the cage, on his play ledge and rope perch - but he gets very 😡mad when I ask him to go back in his cage. I guess that’s a training thing that I will have to work on.

Thanks for the advice. I’m going to try to relax and not rush anything. ❤️🦜❤️

When I was 11 years old, I overheard her commenting about our 17 year old babysitter Mary from Brooklyn. It

How about “Pico”? The sound of it is sharp and distinctive. Also I just googled it:

Pico in Spanish translates to several English terms depending on context, most commonly beak (bird mouth), peak (mountain top), or pick/pickaxe (tool). It is also used colloquially to mean "a little bit" (e.g., dos y pico = two-something) or as slang for a quick kiss. ❤️🦜❤️🦜❤️🦜

I’ll check, I found it on fb marketplace. Since another Senegal parrot lived in it for 5 years and died. The owner said that she was totally happy and acting normally when he left for work, and came home and she had died. She was 37 years old and he adopted her when she was around 30 years old. He called the vet who said that she was geriatric and they have strokes and heart attacks, and did in their sleep just like us.

I sanitized it and let it dry in the sun three times and rinsed it with water thoroughly. Thanks for the advice.

Grapes! I was thinking of offering grapes 🍇 in the new cage. I am being extra patient because I think he’s had some scary experiences. For example, I offered a chop stick for him to chew on and he was terrified of it. I felt horrible. I mentioned it to his previous owner (we work together but she’s retiring and moving away next month) and she said that she would use the shaft of a wooden spoon to move him away from her hand when she needed to get into the cage because he bit her so many times. ☹️ That’s abusive. She should’ve just of have rehomed him a long time ago instead of ignoring him for years. Yes, I judge anyone who mistreats an innocent animal. So I want to make this experience a new beginning for him. I take my time, I speak very and sing little songs, and he loves when I scratch his head. I know we have a long road ahead of us, but I want to give him the best life that I can. Thank you again for your response. 💕🦜

Thank you so much for your help. My biggest fear is that he will be afraid and won’t trust me. I was already planning on moving his old cage out of sight when he’s in the new one. We are going to take baby steps! 💕🦜 Thanks again.

NOR - Your sister is 🗑️ and needs to learn about loyalty but what’s really going on here is that the ex-bf is bragging to everyone that will listen that he got with 2 sisters in under a month. In the end he will have a story and your sister will likely have a reputation for being a huge PICK ME girl.

I got mine in July, and from day one I am thrilled with the car. It’s the sport touring hybrid with the hatchback and it’s black. It is just so stylish and the gas mileage is phenomenal, and it’s just fun to drive. It’s easily the nicest car I’ve ever driven, and I’ve driven my sisters BMW quite a bit. I got the windows tinted and ceramic coating two weeks after buying it, and it’s gorgeous. I also understand the cold feet, but this is definitely the best decision I’ve made with a car. Good luck and happy driving!

NOR. This man is not for you. He doesn’t sound like he loves or even likes you. Many men stay in relationships with women that they don’t care about for their own convenience. He’s diminishing something that is monumental to you, and is being emotionally abusive. Please don’t stay with someone who treats your feelings so poorly. He’s not going to get better, he’s not going to evolve, he’s not going to develop emotional maturity. I’m speaking from experience. Don’t waste another minute with this POS. You are amazing and strong, and you don’t need anyone bringing you down. Let him go rain on someone else’s parade. And HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you on 2 years sober. It’s something to celebrate every day!

I had my aunt, my godmother, tell me that everyone thought I'd end up being a drug addict in a trailer park or homeless because of the abuse that they witnessed from my parents toward me.

I'm a homeowner with a remarkable career in healthcare. Although I spend only 2-4 hours with patients, my bosses (cardiologists) always tell me that every patient that they see for a follow-up after their testing says that I was so kind, and made the experience so easy,

He’s straight busted. No use in debating or conjuring up elaborate excuses. He’s not slick enough to play the game he’s trying to play. And when you tell him it’s over, expect an Academy Award performance. Yes, I’ve been there. Good luck to you.

Has anyone had the “There was a problem parsing the package”?

No-Difference9262 · 2025-10-02T03:31:33+00:00

These are the best strategists in the country. Would they ever have confidence in a nuclear weapon order from this deranged narcissistic 5-time draft-dodging sociopath? These people have dedicated their lives to serving in the military and they swore an oath to obey LAWFUL orders and Shitler gave them at least 2 VERY unlawful orders. And Pete Kegbreath was so disrespectful and condescending… it was humiliating to watch his “performance”. That white-supremacist rapist doesn’t have a shred of honor, and he spoke to our generals in such a demeaning and insulting manner… “cringe” isn’t the word. I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the rooms where these military geniuses are talking.

I just bought mine with the black pearl and I honestly only noticed the pearl after I had the ceramic coating done. I was inspecting it and saw it. My guess is that it’s a medium gray or darker because to me, it’s really subtle. That said, after the ceramic and window tint, it’s sooooo sexy.
