Their homerange consists of Sierra Leone, southern Guinea, Liberia, and the Ivory Coast.
Always
a very inexpensive import, I remember when a Timneh could be purchased
for $100.00. This of course being a wild bird, they would hang from the
back of the cage and growl and scream at all who would stop and look. Because
of their availability and inexpense not many were put into breeding situations,
but as imports closed, more and more aviculturists began to discover the
Timneh and the wonderful babies that they produced.
Unlike the Congo, I find the Timneh's personality to be much more out
going and their willingness to accept more people in the family. As for
talking ability, they are equal with the Congo in that catagory. Their
smaller size and friendly personality have given them a place in aviculture
and their popularity is growing every year. Their care and diet is the
same as the Congo and even though they are more out going, they are still
creatures of habit and like routine as much as the Congo does. For someone
who wants big bird qualities in a small bird package, the Timneh might
just be for you. It is my favorite parrot.
