quaker

Desperately looking for a kind soul to take in my two babies while I have to go away for a awhile. I will pay a generous amount so both are taken care of and as well to the individual who takes them on. Please contact me if interested. I live in Virginia, Chesterfield.

Hello, my sister's Quaker (Jade) has had her wing in a weird position for a bit now and we're not sure why. It doesn't seem like it's causing her pain at all, and she's even flying normally so we don't know if it's normal or not. For context, the guy we got her from clipped her wings and when he...

hey! I’ve had a Quaker parrot named Humphrey since October of last year. He was a rescue that was found loose outside, so none of his history is known. Humphrey is very receptive to learning and has been picking up on new vocalizations and tricks. He enjoys spending time with us, but will...

Hello everyone, I have a 12 year old quaker called Pepe, I love him a lot, so I feel incredibly scared because he's been acting strange. Ever since a few weeks ago he will stop eating sometimes, refuse food or water and regurgitate what he does eat. Yesterday he was really 'out of it' I don't...

So something amazing has happened and I wanted to share! Roz has never liked any other bird, let alone have an hour preening session with one! Im keeping a close eye on them and won’t be moving them into the same cage, but it makes me so happy that they’ve both found a friend! I cried in...

Hello, I rescued a Quaker Saturday and I wanted to update on her progress. She’s got severely deformed feet and since being with me these past two days I haven’t even seen her stretch her wings or flap. My cockatiel who has deformed feet, can fly around but hers is not as bad as Tofu’s...

Hello, I’ve recently come across a Quaker parrot that needs rehoming and he’s in pretty poor shape and living conditions. I definitely have the space to care for him and the knowledge however I haven’t come across a Quaker parrot before as in the Uk they seem to be pretty rare. If anyone...

I just took this candid of Rainy and I’m delighted. Cannot stop watching it. She loves to grab stuff and wave it around but I’ve never seen her do something quite like this! This page never lets me upload, so here’s the link: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8MXPEfD/

Hi all! Questions about my Quaker's behavior as of late: Usually she is very friendly and sweet, playful, mostly chill with being touched. In the past few days she's been, well... bitchy. She wants to fly to my shoulder and hang out but not be touched. She's happy to step up to my finger most...

I brought my Quaker home knowing their reputation for being little escape artists. She just turned one at the beginning of July, and she is definitely coming into her own... meaning she is pursuing her destined career as an escape artist. I don't think the problem is that I'm not letting her out...

I took Lumi to the vet. Getting her in brand new carrier was not fun and she tried very hard not to go in. She rode in it all the way to vet 30 minutes with minimal discomfort. When we got to vet and waited in room I took her out and she got on my shoulder. She drank water and ate some food...

today i noticed that my quaker parrot has something in his nare. it is brown and somewhat hard. i gently touched it and he did not seem bothered by it. he seemed like his usual self when i handled him. does anybody know what it is? is it a sign of a sinus issue?

Has anyone here painted a room while having a bird in the house? I found this paint online that looks promising. I’m wondering if anyone here has used it. If I need to move my Quaker out of the house for a week I’ll do that but just weighing my options...

Can someone look over Lumi’s cage and areas and see if I should be removing anything and please give a detail why. For example: impaction in crop, choking, too big, too small, needs supervision, dangerous material, may cause cut or strangulation etc. Thanks! Lumi is 10 months now. She loves to...

Bonjour, à tous! I'm looking into potentially getting myself a parrot some time in the coming year and was looking for some recommendations. I'd really like to have a very affectionate and cuddly bird that is not too big, but not too small. Noise doesn't bother me too much so long as it's not...

Hi everybody! This is my first post :) I have a four month old Quaker named Rainy. I think s(he) is a female. She's a crossover breed, and the breeder told me they usually end up being female. I'm in the early stages of taming/training, and have never had a quaker before. I knew she would be a...

Hi all, I have 2 male quaker parrots (1yo & 3yo). They have been eating a new frozen vegetable mix for the past 2-3 days. I only just noticed that the mix contains onion pieces. They have been leaving behind these pieces (thought they were cauliflower scraps or something before) in their bowl...

I rescued a Quaker a few weeks ago. The crack on the side of his beak got longer . The white spot bigger. He gets into a bird bath and cleans himself but the spot comes back as he drys. Anyone knows what this is??? He eats fine, drinks fine.. bathes daily. Plays normal.

My partner and I have had our Quaker parrot Milo for 8 months, and he has just turned two. We decided to get a rehomed green cheek conure and bring her home to meet him. His attitude has completely changed towards me though, he has become jealous and aggressive. He doesn't seem to want to let...

My partner and I have had our Quaker parrot Milo for around 8 months now. He was a rehome from a pet store at around 18 months old when we got him, after being surrendered to the pet store. We have recently purchased a green cheek conure at 1 years old. Milo was already reasonably calm and...

Hi guys. So I currently have a Conure, I adopted him 2 months ago. We have become very close in a short amount of time. I work from home so I'm always with him when he's not asleep. He won't have it any other way lol... he screams if I leave the room for a minute. He used to have a buddy so I...

I’m getting a Quaker parrot soon (I was going to get an Alexandrine, but I decided against it) and I’ve been having a hard time finding natural branch perches big enough. Does anyone know a good brand of perches (to big is better than to small) that is affordable? :)

I have a one year old grey quaker. He was perfectly fine except the breeder sold him to me with chamydia.. which was medicated. I moved back in April and the movers were delayed so he was stuck in a small cage til they arrived and he started barbing his feathers. Now it’s plucking. He plucked...

Hello everyone! I am so frustrated and decided to seek help here coz I don't know what to do...:cry: I have a green quaker and he is 1.5 yr old. I work full-time so I was worried that my green quaker would get lonely when I'm out for work, so I bought a companion quaker for him a month ago. The...

Hi! It's my first quaker, so I just want to be sure. I got a male quaker (3 yo) some time ago and we're well bonded now. He is a rescue who sat in a cage alone for 2 years straight in his breeders house. He doesn't even consider other bird species and doesn't want have anything to do with...

I adopted a 10 year old Quaker 3 days ago and I noticed that one of her wings looks a bit crooked. Her previous owner mentioned that she used to clip her wings but hasn’t done it for a while now. I wanted to see if this is normal or not. She only tried to fly once so far. I think she is still...

I have a problem with my newest parrot- a quaker. He is a 2yo male. He likes to hang out with people, will sing, and fly to you to check out what are you doing. The thing is- whenever there's a piece of skin in his reach, he will start preening and then biting really hard out of nowhere. He...

Yesterday, Willow Quaker didn’t want to come out, so I left his cage open and got Jasper out. I was petting Jasper and talking to him and guess who came tearing out of his cage? So I stepped Willow up and and put him on my shoulder, petted Jasper a bit more, and put Jasper back in his house...

Today I brought Willow (Quaker) into my room for some petting and bird time while I read. He wouldn’t settle down and kept stretching out like a very tall skinny bowling pin. I asked him what was wrong but he kept flipping his wings and not perching quietly. Can’t recall if he was squawking...

I’m sure you have seen falcon cams or eagle cams online. Well, I’m wondering if there’s a Quaker Parakeet nest cam out there somewhere. Something that might show babies being raised inside the big apartment nest. It seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to wire an existing nest with a wireless...

My quaker parrot which I have had for about 3 weeks now, is obsessed with preening me. I'm not even joking. Once he got comfortable with me, it started with hands- he plucked out dead skin and sometimes even hair. Sometime later he moved to my face and today he insisted on licking my teeth...

I got my 2 year old quaker parrot about 4 days ago. He acts like he has lived here for a long time- he's not afraid of hands (or human presence in general), takes treats out of the hand, does not attempt to escape when outside the cage and even comes to check out what is someone doing when...

Hi everyone, as many of you know i found a nest of 3 quaker parrots without parents being around when they were just a week old, now they are 3 months old and beautiful and loving as ever, i have asked on this forum before if i should have seperated them while young so that they would be able to...

I recently took my bird Coco to the vet since she's been acting a little off and they told me to switch her diet to pellets which I have bought for her and they also gave her vitamin b12 and meloxicam and she ate some of the food I have her new and she seemed to like it. But now she's acting...

I got a Quaker male, 5 days ago, they say he was just weaned, he is biting his toenails until they bleed, idk what to do. He came to me on seed only diet I’ve been giving him fresh bird chop every morning, and bought some roudybush pellets he eats them some…I noticed he will eat them more if I...

Hi there, I've had my boy Opie (2 years old) for a year and a half now. He has always been a very affectionate, smart, gentle boy. Initially he was scared of everything and over time he grew more and more confident. He comes to me voluntarily for scratches, cuddles, or if he just wants to be...

Bogey ( Quaker) is 1 year old, DNA blood, tested male. He is eating normal Poop is normal But his behavior is kind of normal. For the last couple of days, he has be gather his shredded paper and foot toys and hanging out the bottom of the cage. He will gather his toys and sleep on top of them...

my quaker is making some strange noise and he puffs up and make some time of saliva. I don’t know if this some breeding behavior or something like that. This is something he has never done before. I don’t know if should take him to the vet because he seems just fine, this happens when i go pet him.

Hello All! My family has been researching different parrot breeds and hope to add a parrot to our family in the near future. I am wanting to establish myself in the bird community so that I can learn from your experiences and have some support available when we bring our new bird home. So...
