Hello all! I’m glad to be here. I’m the proud mom of 6 feathered friends—-Cumulo (English Budgie), Sirius (green cheeked conure), Orion (Quaker parrot), Phantom (nanday conure), Luna (half moon conure), and Duke (dusky conure). Birds are the BEST.

Hi all! I want to report my missing blue Quaker parrot. She is only a little over a year old and she flew out of our home on Chayna Crescent in Maple Ontario. Main intersection is Major Mackenzie and Peter Rupert Drive. If found, please call the two numbers listed below. She responds to her...

Hello my name is Lucy, I just got a Quaker parrot 3 days ago, I love him so much already. I’ve been talking to him everyday before and after work, my question is how long does it usually take for them to get comfortable around you and start making any type of noise, he has been very quiet and...

Writing this in hope to hear some good stories from others… In February or March this year, we sent our Quaker to the vet for a regular check. Doctor found an abnormal mass in his testicle. At first we thought it was hormonal, so our doctor injected Lupron and later on decided to give him an...

Hello everyone, I have been browsing this forum forever, but just recently decided to sign up! Here is Coo Coo, my 22-year-old quaker parrot. We've had him since he was 2-3 months old. He is currently battling testicular cancer. He is such a sassy little fighter and we absolutely love him to...

Hello everyone! I recently got a baby quaker parrot (2 months old) the person I got it from was feeding him just seeds and Maseca (a corn flour treated with hydrated lime). Having read a lot about a healthy parrot diet I knew I had to change his diet and start implementing veggies and pellets. I...

So when I moved here my quaker ripped out his wing pits on his back along with his tail. Then he stopped after I used the anti itch spray, chamomile, avicalm and I put him in the bedroom so he doesn’t see me working. They seemed to have calmed him down and he stopped doing that. Now he’s...

Hello, I have an 11 week old quaker parrot (my first ever) that has been nothing but snuggly and friendly towards me since I got him at 7 weeks old. He would look for me and preen me and want to spend every waking moment with me. Yesterday, in order to have him be closer to the commotion of my...

Okay so I have a baby Quaker 3 months old (20 weeks old) and I've had him for maybe a little over a month now and I was wondering how long it takes them to get used to their owners? He's very skittish and doesn't let my hands by him, he won't step up unless I have a treat and it's a wood dowel...

Hi guys! I am new here! My quakers surprised me with with a couple babies and even more so when they decided they weren’t up to the task of being parents. Babies are doing great with hand feeding. Interesting thing is they both have different colored eyes. Anyone know what mutation this could...

I found this recently when I was giving her scritches. There is a hard, little nubbly bump near her eye. It is pinkish grey, hard, protrudes, and irregular shape. There is a little white ring indent on it, which I assume is a follicle?? She's never had something like this before. Can someone...

Hi everyone! I have recently adopted a one year old Quaker parrot called Nova (4 days ago) she is apparently a girl. Me and my partner are totally in love but we are wanting to learn more about the best ways to bond with her and I'm hoping people with more experience with Quakers can advise on...

Hello, my name is Michelle. My partner and I recently purchased two Quakers (male and female). We have owned birds before but not for many years and we were children when our respective families owned birds so we did not have a great deal of involvement in the care of them. We have both done...

Hey, I am doing my research for my first birds. I ended up narrowing it down to tow species, the GCC and the Quaker parrot. I really love Quakers! I love how they look, their personality and the fact that they may talk adds a good bonus. Since I do share walls with neighbors, I am scared that...

Hello! About two weeks ago I adopted a 3 month old Quaker Parrot, and they've been doing really well! Very social and will fly to me and sit on my hand or nap on my shoulder. Wouldn't let me pet him. That's fine, I thought, just needs time to develop trust. THEN today and yesterday my roommate...

My quaker parrot has recently been having issues. They are missing a ton of feathers from the cloaca area, and poop has been getting stuck. I can't afford an avian vet, so I was wondering if there's anything I could do for them. They seem to be doing reasonably fine, but there have been moments...

Hello fellow bird owners! This is my first ever thread, so I'm not too sure how to navigate everything. I just wanted to run a bit of an experiment/review for everyone wondering about the Bird Hemp oil from the brand Hempwell. There were barely any reviews on it anywhere, but it was recommended...
