    Quaker Parrot suddenly aggressive?

    Alright, so I purchased a quaker parrot from a website called “fly babies aviary” about a month ago. I can tell he hasn’t fully trusted me yet as even before the aggressiveness I would stick my hand in and he sometimes would move away. I would leave the cage door open and he would sometimes come...

    Cockatiel and Quaker

    So, I have a female cockatiel and I'm planning on adopting a new cockatiel alongside a quaker parrot this year. For the first one, I'm not worried, but I'm concerned in how will a tiel react to a quaker and vice versa. I'm of couse going to house them separately, but I wanna know how it's...

    Foods for quakers?

    Aside from vegetables, fruit, & pellets, what should I be feeding my quaker? I've been seeing the cutest ads on this site for sprouting seed packets & bird cakes.. would the variety be good? Could I have examples of the daily diets of your birds? Thanks!

    DIY wood perch

    Hi, I am thinking of building a wood tall perch for my quaker and wondering if anyone built one. If yes where did you get the wood? After reading online I went to check at Home depot for untreated wood, which I did find and I think they are pine wood. But I am reading contradicting information...

    Aggressive Adopted Quaker

    I adopted Eddie about a year and a half ago and I don't know his background. Any time I get too close to him, he starts hissing and trying to bite me. He always seems really comfortable around me, but when I try to handle him, he starts going a little crazy. Usually, Eddie and I just sit...

    Video Eddie's Obsession With Doritos: Video

    Every time he hears that bag crinkling, he starts throwing a little fit, hoping I'll give him some Dorito. Not this time buddy, not this time.

    Eddie's Dorito Obsession

    I made the mistake of giving eddie a tiny piece of dorito as a treat. Now every time he sees a red bag or hears crinkling bags, he starts running around and screaming and yelling, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? COME HERE!". He goes through phases of being obsessed with various foods. Sometimes its a...

    Eddie won't stop screaming unless I'm looking directly at him/in his direction

    This has just started happening recently and I'm not sure why. Normally, Eddie has little screaming fits throughout the day and I'm used to that, but recently he just screams and screams and screams until I'm looking at him/in his direction. The second I'm looking at him, he just gets completely...

    Trouble Trimming Eddie's Nails

    Trying to trim my Quaker parrot, Eddie's nails has been an absolute nightmare. I'm fine taking him to a professional, but I'd rather do it at home since its much cheaper. I bought some quickstop and nail clippers, hoping to try it for myself. I'd already trimmed a few bird's nails at the bird...

    My Parrot Doesn't Like to Be Touched

    So I've had Eddie, my Quaker Parrot, since October and he's never really liked to be touched. He is a rescue so it makes some sense. He may have been in a bad home before me, I'm not sure. The rescue didn't have much information on him. I mostly just find it strange that he allows me to put my...

Recently I changed her food, it was rowdy bush pellets and now it is a mixture of diff. seeds and dried fruit. But she doesn’t eat the fruit. So is it because I changed her...

    Introducing New Birds to the Family

    How should I go about introducing new birds to the family? I was thinking of adopting these two budgies from a woman who couldn't take care of them anymore, but I'm worried about how my Quaker parrot, Eddie, will feel about this. I want to give these budgies a loving home but I don't know how to...
