she is becoming all too spoiled too.. lol if I stop rubbing her head she will lean back and bump the top of her head against my cheek over and over until I give her a scratch.. and if I start talking to someone else she will tap her beak on my shoulder like a wood pecker for my attention.. then starts laughing haha
Adventures of Pepperoni and Simone! (ongoing thread)
Simon and Pepper (ongoing thread)
Meet Pepper my yellow breast senegal!! Due to having green under the tail I believe Pepper is a girl.. please correct me if I am wrong! her feathers have already began to grow in and she loves making sound effects!!

Pepper loves her banana chips!

Meet Simon! from what I have been told Simon is a male African grey congo. he is a closet whistler! He used to talk.. we never heard a peep until he was here for a few days and thought we left.. then he started whistling something beautiful! I hope he will come out of his shell soon!
getting his cage set up..
on our way home!!
dad and Simon have an amazing bond already!

She is pretty smart too! I have only been pooped on twice since January!! Every 20 minutes or so I will put her on a perch or her cage and say go poop! and she will.. then I say yayyy pepper!! and clap my hands and pick her back up! That is especially nice when she gets into her mood where she MUST be on the top of my head preening me 
Thank you for all of the comments! We do have a pretty special bond! she is very close with my mom as well, but my mom always tells me she does not laugh or make sound effect as often if I am not in the room. When I come home from work and say "HELLO EVERYONE" my mom responds with "who is it????" and Pepper will just go nuts chirping!! its a really great feeling!

Wow, Lacey, Pepper really is clever! :clap: I didn't even see the shopping cart the first time round, that's so cute
I would be careful with "training" her regarding her poop. It may get to the point where she only will poo when you're there to tell her to do so, and if you're gone for a while she may hold it, which can be very detrimental to her health

She was very plucked! It seems she is still having trouble with her chest but I never see her pluck. I do see new feathers coming in under the white fluff, so hopefully she will have her green v very soon!Pepper looks so good
this is when we first got her.. poor baby must have been so stressed out!
thank you everyone for all of the sweet comments! After the budgies have their flight time I will bring her in and read them all to her
she still is not flying however I have tried to have her sit with me one time and one time only when the little ones were out and they try to dive bomb her (mainly kiwi)! I decided after that.. no more!
Wow Lacey, that is so great - the before and after pics . She has grown almost all her feathers in again!
As we know there are many reasons for plucking, many of which even the best owners aren't at fault for, but looks like in Pepper's case it was behavioral/emotional. This is testimony that you have provided the stable, safe, entertained environment that birds need... where she feels loved and comfortable to thrive in:thumbsup:
