Hey everyone, I have recently (within the past 24 hours) become an owner of a Quaker parrot called Liam, he is around 4 months old and is supposedly 'semi tame' according to who sold him to me. He is super cute and I am in love with these birds - they seem to have so much personality. I already have a female cockatiel, and she is the sweetest, but is incredibly quiet and I was looking for a bird that was perhaps a little more active, I think I have for sure chosen the right species to fulfil this wish, perhaps I am crazy. I am keeping the two split up in two different rooms and will continue to do so for the next month or so, I will never hold them together but it would be nice for them to both be somewhat friendly to each other one day.
Anyways if anyone has any specific tips on how to make these guys feel happy and at home I would be happy to hear, I have already been able to feed Liam some millet and banana within the past hour, he seems pretty okay with my hand being in the cage right now - which surprised me as I was not expecting him to be that comfortable so soon, I am just happy that he is drinking and eating so fast!
I understand that these guys really enjoy foraging and searching for food in the wild, what is the best way to mimic this within a cage environment?
He also seems to really like being pictured. So that's a bonus.
