i have a senegal parrot who i purchased as an unweaned nestling. i babied him, played with him, and took him with me for morning showers daily for six years. this changed abuptly when rosie was born in 2002 and now with dash, too, he has become a screaming, neglected, affection-starved waif. i am now reduced to giving him a brief head scratch and some kisses about twice a day and shower-time maybe on a saturday. he must be wondering what he’s done to deserve this…
