    Urgent What Should You Do If Your Bird is Choking?

    I never really thought about this question until it happened to Eddie. I was in the car, taking him home from the vet and I decided to give him a small bit of French fry since he had a stressful day. We went over a bump when he was trying to swallow and he ended up choking on it. I panicked and...

I changed her pellets to a different kind (we are now changing them back though as she doesnt really like them) and then some weeks later i gave my budgies to a family i know very well and was looking to buy budgies.

    Quaker Makes a TON of noise at night?

    The second I put Eddie in his cage for betime, he goes crazy. He starts climbing up and down the sides of the cage and squawking. Then, he jumps on top of his favorite wooden dinosaur and starts swinging it around. Ever since I've had him, I noticed he seems tired during the day and energetic at...

    Separation Anxiety?

    So, I've only had my Quaker for about 2 weeks now and I've spent pretty much all my time with him since. Recently, whenever I leave him in his cage and leave, he starts freaking out and making a ton of noise until I come back. When I try to go to bed and leave him in the cage, he crawls off his...

    Regurgitating Quaker?

    Earlier today, when my quaker Eddie and I were taking a car ride as we usually do when I get home, he began to bob his head up and down with his mouth open. It looked to me like he was trying to regurgitate something. I did some research and I decided that was it, since he quit doing it after a...

    Quaker Parrot Wont Stop Nibbling My Face

    I just recently got a Quaker Parrot and he LOVES chewing on my face. He likes to preen my hair/face but he especially likes chewing on my lips. I try to discourage that because I don't want him ingesting any harmful bacteria I might have in my mouth, but any time I get him close to my face, he...

    Am I Being Too Paranoid About Bird Safety?

    After having this bird for only a little over a week, I've realized how much of a paranoid bird-mom I'm being. I'm throwing out Teflon pans, checking every product in my house to make sure its safe and just being super paranoid in general. Am I being too paranoid here or not? Everyone I talk to...

    Age Unknown, but Acting Out

    Hello! Since I found my quaker, Wally, last August on the street, she has been happy and a sweetie until recently. This spring, she became hormonal and would try to mate with my hand -- almost on a daily basis! until finally I came home one afternoon and found an egg in her cage. She chilled...

    Loved this Forum, Finally Joined after Lurking for So Long

    Hello everyone! Last summer, I found a quaker parrot huddled on the ground under a building's entryway, away from the rain that day, and took her home to look for her owner. No one claimed her and even though I intended to place her in a local bird sanctuary since we have a cat at home, she...

    9 week old Quaker

    hi I just brought home a 9 week old Quaker baby. She seems happy and healthy. But she will not leave the bottom of the cage. She doesn't climb the cage or go on the perch. Is that normal for this age. When I picked her up from the breeder there were no perches in the cage and about 9 of the...
