quaker

Hi guys! I currently have a lovebird of 9 months. My little Buckbeak! He is sweet and likes to cuddle. He listens to us and will poo on command over the sink. Basically it is going very well! I would like to adopt another bird and Im wondering if this will break the good relationship I have with...

Hey guys I am purchasing a Quaker for the first time from a breeder who has many many birds. I orginal was going to get a regular green Quaker until I found out she also has a green opaline ... how can I tell the difference between the two not ever seeing a green opaline in person before.. she...

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...

Please help! I found this website when I typed in "Conure Quaker hybrid" and turns out the guy that posted it did it as an April fool's joke so not very helpful.. Well I have a female green cheeked conure and a male Quaker and the female has laid 5 eggs! It's been close to two weeks since this...

Eddie has recently started his big yearly molt. I can see all the little pin feathers on his head and I feel so bad because it looks like its really uncomfortable. I really want to help him, but I'm not sure how besides giving him access to baths frequently. Any other tips to help him have a...

Hi there. I'm extremely worried because my 1 year old quaker parrot chipped away quite a large piece of dried nail polish off of my thumb and ate it. It was definitely not small, I don't know how he got to my thumb but he went at it like it was food, and he definitely chewed away at it too...

Hello! My name is Olivia and I've been excited to get a bird for as long as I can remember. My father and grandfather were both bird-loving veterinarians so I have a cage at my disposal for no cost, and I've done my hours and hours of research on care and diet and all. Decided I'm looking for...

Hello. I adopted a 16 year old Quaker parrot about three weeks ago and immediately noticed she was repeatedly making the movements in the video I attached (head banging, twisting inward with mouth open, beak clicking, swallowing) as well as neck stretching/yawning. This is my first parrot...

There’s this blue Quaker at my local petco who has been there for MONTHS, I feel so bad for him cause he’s clearly stressed and has been plucking his feathers. I would get him and give him a nice loving home but the only problem is my stepdad works night shifts. So while I’m at school and not...

Hi all! I have 2 quaker parrots and we are thinking of letting them share a cage again. They were extremely bonded when we got them, and they still are. (They were rescues) We separated them to tame them and since they are fine most of the time now we've been thinking of letting them share a...

Hello everyone! I recently got a little Quaker called Bobbi who is currently about 21 weeks old. He’s a very active bird, constantly chirping away and moving around his cage. Unfortunately, when we first got him, he had mites, lice or something similar and was constantly scratching and getting...

Hi all! Just wondering, my 7 month Quaker Kui just started getting a bit nippy and when in her cage she has decided not to step up. Hmmm, thought hormones but she's too young for that. She also ramps up her noise level whenever she hears my voice or the tv. When I leave the room she does the...

I have one young, female lovebird and have been wanting a second bird but I've been completely split between these a cockatiel or a quaker for months. Vote, and if you would, please tell me your reasons why, thank you! I can answer any other questions about it also.

A few months ago I got a 4 month year old female lovebird (the love of my life), and I've been heavily considering getting a Quaker. Of course they would not house together, but out of the cage, would they get along? I've been researching them big time but any tips and information you could...

Hey, I was thinking of getting a blue quaker in the next bird fair, but I was sort of worried that they'd be out of my price range which is up to 400$. Does anyone know if it's possible to get one at that price range in the fair or is that crazy talk? Yes, I do know that they can be 200-800$...

I've had Eddie (a quaker parrot) for almost a year now and I haven't really gotten him any foraging toys. I tried once but he didn't seem very interested. I've heard that basically all birds like foraging, once they figure it out. How should I introduce Eddie to foraging? I think he'd like it...

Hi Quaker Parents, I have a feather picker and occasional self mutilator Quaker. I am going to get her a new cage and would like to know which cages (brand and sizes) you reccomend. I would also like to see what your current set up is. Please post pics :) Thanks so much!

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.

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...

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...
