Tango1
Meeting neighbors
I just purchased a 4yr. old male blue Quaker. The previous owners were no longer able to keep him and they needed a good home for him. He already has somewhat of a vocabulary and has a wonderful, friendly personality. Prefers women to men. He's still adjusting, but doing it quite quickly. He never had a problem adjusting to being with me, and right from the first day, he does the same thing as my Lovebird, Tango does. When they can't see me they have a fit and start chirping until I come back into the room.
The main reason for sending this message is to find out the mannerism's of a Quaker. What some of there actions mean, like stretching his neck up and opening his beak, puffing up, etc. He is definitely a male and his name is Ricky.
I've had him since Wed. night and haven't seen him play with any of his toys, even though his previous owners sent a couple home with me. Is this normal? He doesn't seem distressed at all which I'm very pleased with.
Any advice or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
