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 a lot of research and now have loads of knowledge about how to care for them etc. However, I have a few general questions that I was unable to definitively answer through Google searches:
Thanking you in advance!
- Do you have any tips on how to get them to eat their fruits and veggies? I have given them different things over the past week (i.e. since we brought them home). They will not touch the fruit/veg if it is in a bowl in its own, and they will not take it out of my hand. I have been chopping things up finely and putting them on top of their pellets with a few pellets sprinkled on top (as suggested in an article I found on google). If you have any additional tips (or could affirm whether this method has worked for you) that would be much appreciated.
- I am aware that Quakers love to build their own intricate nests, and I have seen loads of pictures and posts on here about materials they like to use. However, for those of you who have Quakers building their own nests, could you please drop a comment and let me know what age your Quakers started building? My two are about 12 weeks old.
- Any other tips you have about caring for our Quakers and giving them an enriched life would be much appreciated. There are loads of tips on google, but I would love to hear from people who have actually owned Quakers!
Thanking you in advance!
