For/To the rest of the forum:

Many of us have QUITE the history here. We've all 'met' right here on this forum. Some of us have really quite bonded and developed great friendships!

Ok, now that I'm all teary and and all.....let's carry on.... :21:

TISSUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Allee]

Oh Wow, Ladies, where did I put that family size box of tissues? Sniffles, must be allergies.

Such a sweet photo of you and Jackie, Shirre!

Here's Harry and Sammy's late contribution. Early for next year though.

Allee is Sammy a boy ? Do you see a difference in genders in Quakers.Could you describe them

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Regen! (Late to the party!!)

 

[Pinkbirdy]

Regen s neat !!! Havent seen a conure like that before.

 

[Chelsea304]

Thank you! White eyed conures are pretty rare (I found out anyway...I adopted him from a rescue!) They're in the aratinga genus! (Same genus as sun conures, blue crowned conures, and mitred conures!)

He's a sweetheart!

 

[Allee]

Regen is a beauty! Thank you for sharing his photo, I've never met a white eyed conure.

Terri, there is no visible difference at all in male and female quakers. Sammy is a male, Harry is female. Their speaking ability is very similar, Sammy has picked up more phrases but Harry mimics sounds better. During hormone season Harry gets much more aggressive, the signs are more obvious. Sammy is also a builder, he builds constantly with his basket of sticks just like his male relatives in the wild. Females take care of the inside of the nest, Harry is true to her gender, even when Sammy offers to share his sticks, she politely refuses. As far as playfulness and curiosity, I really can't see any differences I could attribute to gender rather than personality. Are you thinking of adopting a quaker?

 

[Pinkbirdy]
