| Senegal |
 |
The Senegal Parrot is about 23 cm long and weighs about 125 to 170 gm. They are stocky and have a relatively large head and beak. Males are generally larger and heavier than female birds. Adults have a charcoal grey head, yellow eyes, green back and throat, and yellow underparts and rump. The yellow and green areas on a Senegal Parrot's front form a V-shape and resemble a yellow vest worn over green. Immature birds are duller, with a lighter grey head and grey eyes. Senegals are not sexually dimorphic, but there are some hypotheses on how to tell the genders apart; it is thought that a female's beak and head are smaller and narrower than the male's and also, the V-shape of the vest is usually longer in females, so that the green area extends down over the chest to between the legs whereas in males it ends midway down the chest. They have been known to live up to 50 years of age. |

The forehead and breast are pale grey and the rest of the underparts are very-light green to yellow. The flight feathers are dark blue, and the tail is long and tapering. The bill is orange. The call is a loud and throaty graaa or skveet. Domestic breeds have produced colors other than the natural plumage; these include white and blue in place of green. |
| Eclectus(male) |
 |
The Eclectus Parrot, Eclectus roratus is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, New Guinea, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for their extreme sexual dimorphism; the males are bright green, having bright candy corn coloured upper mandibles and black lower mandibles, and blue or red tail and wing feathers. |

The female Eclectus of the species are red headed and blue-breasted, with black beaks. This eliminates the need for DNA sexing of these birds. |
| African Grey Timneh |
 |
There are two species of African Grey generally kept as pets, the Congo (which has a red patch of feathers on the underside of the tail like Rico), and the Timneh (with maroon tail feathers). They make a nice "jungle" sound when relaxed. When threatened or frightened they make a growling sound. African Grey Timnehs grow to a length of 11 to 13 inches (27.5 - 32.5 cm). |
| African Grey Congo |
 |
See Above. Congos grow to a length of 13 to 16 inches (32.5 - 40.6 cm). They are usually somewhat larger than the Timneh. Their bright red tail grows anywhere from 12 to 14 inches, compared to the Silver African Grey Congo(see below). |

See Above. These rare birds are the same as the African Grey Congo, except larger with a tail 18 to 20 inches long. |
| Red Lory |
 |
Lories are popular companion birds and are quite easily bred. They are entertaining birds, with many unique behaviors. Some have been known to wrap up in a wash cloth for sleeping. At times, they will sleep on their back, with feet straight in the air. Very intelligent and trainable, they can be taught tricks and can be trained to eliminate in a certain area, on cue. Playful by nature, lories appreciate many toys, including ropes, bells, balls, and swings with variety being the key. |
