Yes!! Just got a quaker parrot about 3 months ago. My wife and I both have bonded to him, somehow. But no matter who tries to readjust his water/food or toys the little booger goes into attack mode every time. We spoke with some bird experts and vets and they assume its just natural territorialism of their cage and "possessions"

My quaker won't talk with people he doesn't know, loves my daughter , not me

I'm looking into getting a bird. I'm trying to decide between a Linnie, a Superb Parrot, or a Quaker. I've heard Quakers can have a really bad "teen" stage, lasting a year, and becoming extremely aggressive. Any thoughts on this? Should I look for a different bird?

He is precious,you are a good mom I can tell. I think with any bird people really need to do research because birds are just like toddlers, they have no chill LOL❤

Quakers are my absolute favorite. I had my Sweet Pea for 20 years, then I got Beaker. He's a year old now. Both talk very well.

My Quaker is a year old and she (I think) only says 1 phrase (Whatcha doin?) (That I can discern). She's a gem and I love her so. I got her at 7 months old and she was largely kept in her cage I think. She was plucking her back feathers etc. Now I have her on a really good diet, she spends all day with me even while I work and gets her fill of attention and is not caged until she goes to bed (on her own). Her feathers have grown in beautifully. I'm hopeful she will start saying some more things! She's a great guard dog too. As soon as she sees someone outside or in the house that she doesn't recognize she has a distinctive "danger" squawk. ❤

I can't have birds unfortunately but your quaker is absolutely gorgeous. His coloring is astounding. ❤❤❤❤

Lol my Quaker is part vampire ,

How you deal with the poop on daily basic

You should never keep a single bird😢

Rescue an African grey, way cheaper

I use a Cane basket to move my quaker around, I've made it interesting with a wooden perch and some food toys, also she loves boxes and cardboard tunnels

My female quaker has never bitten me, she will bite visitors if she could, I also can go into her cage with no problem

Don’t you think he is preening you and not thinking of food necessarily?

Yes my bubba will change context too I love that because he understands.

I'm not a huge fan, my quaker was abused and pass around many time before I got him , hes hard to work with him, I'll take him for the rest of his life but once he dies pigeons only I'm not a fan of sharp sounds it's really high pitch, I can take noise as much as possible just not loud.

My quaker talks to me all the time and if I don’t say good morning or night night she yells at me till I talk to her and pick her up and give her kisses

My baby is a year old I'm a introvert with social anxiety and work from home selling so I've had a lot of time to spend with smurf. We're very bonded one thing I've been very consistent with is sleep routines and a good diet. To avoid future hormonal problems and grumpiness I make sure Smurf gets 12 hours sleep and darkness every night. He has a seperate sleep cage in my spare room with complete black out blinds. He goes to bed at 8pm and isn't disturbed or got up until 8am it makes such a difference to his temperament. He does everything with me and because I talk to him and name everything and use context when I talk to him during all our activities his speech isn't just mimicking he uses words in the right context and actually can hold minnie conversations and ask for what he wants. It is like having a toddler that's going to never grow up and they can live up to thirty years they're a big commitment but my little man is worth it and I'm not a people person so I'm more than happy with the bond I have with him.

Quakers are freckle destroyers, look a seed! *chomp*

I have two quakers, one being mochi and the other one mojito. Mochi is yellow and she is very talkative, whenever I talk she answers back, she also laughs at my jokes. With mojito he’s more quite but very clingy, but he doesn’t talk much other than “stop it” because he likes to nibble, and he nibbles a lot. He also likes flying to my plate taking my food and runs away. I love them so much

I have the same one but it’s 5 years

I have a very spoiled Turquiose Cheek Conure.named Yahzee She is 4 years old now and it freaks my son out because my conversation with her is unscripted and she answers like she knows what I'm talking about. She is in the 250 word range and makes up her own sentences too. She was having a trantrum one time and I told her she needed to stop making so much racket. She simply told me to Be Quiet. We are adopting a Quaker. It lost it's mate and the owner is out of the house working all the time and doesn't like the bird potentially being neglected. He asked me if I would take him. I have a very large TV room so my birds are in there with me. Yahzee has run of the house when I'm home from work but 99% of the time stays pitched on me. I lost my husband 4 years ago to cancer so the Yahzee has been a very wonderful therapy bird for me. We're excited to be getting the Quaker.

LOVELY......

I always wonder about these channels that get a bird, start making videos and then after a few months just stop posting. Is it the channel that they get tired of or the bird? What ever happened to Frito? Do you still have him or is this another it was fun for a while but opps my life changed and the bird had to go?

ok not all quakers are aggressive in cage but you are correct family members will get bit

He's beautiful!!

hun All birds will and can bite. it part of owning any parrot.

my dream bird but they illegal where i am so i have to live thru you lol

Hi, am impressed that you are at home. Would you contact me regarding possibly adopting my quaker. At 77 health issues are problematic.

If you are looking to give a larger bird a good home, There are several good bird sanctuaries that adopt birds.

hahaha that is a cool birdie. Might have to get me one.

What color is Frito? He is absolutely gorgeous, this video was extremely helpful! We are wanting to add a new bird to the family and Quaker’s are at the top of our list

I lost one and we werent close, my parents owned her, and she didnt like me. But one day before she died of a sickness, after years of biting me... she let me pet her... rip Malablue, 19 years old :)

I know one up for adoption that is 25 already

Do you still have Frito?

great helpful tips

Nice video .. do you recommend getting Quaker at smaller age like 4 months if I want to teach him to talk?

Mine snipped skin tags and moles, and destroyed gold hoop earrings while I was wearing them but on the phone and distracted. They do become crabby at times, surrounding reproduction, molting, etc. Mine would occasionally shriek and nip during those times, but rarely actually break the skin.

I had a prodigy Quaker, too. He did lot of rapid imitation, too. He could imitate household sounds like running water and flushing toilets flawlessly. He also preferred to talk much less in front of others. Yes, mine made new sentences too, and used language "instrumentally", meaning with purpose! He was jealous of the dog, and if I raised my voice to correct the dog, he would run back and forth, shrieking with excitement and yelling "Spank! Spank! Spank! Spank it! " This would be followed by more shrieks and wild laughter. I never hit an animal, but he had heard me say to the dog, "I ought to spank that little butt for doing that (very naughty thing)!" The assumption that smaller and shorter life span means that a bird is less intelligent than a bigger bird s just wrong in some cases. I think they are the "African Greys" of their size group. They're about the size of cockatiels but have a stronger hooked beak and are a lot more intelligent. I miss Bertie! Unfortunately I have adopted rescued terriers that have a moderate prey drive...so no bird now.

He is so beautiful.

He must be like Mr.Ed, the horse that only the owner knows can talk.

Come back pls upload more vids

Lol

Do you think a Quaker would get along with a budgie? I got a budgie about 2 months ago and we have been working on flight training and I thought I might be ready for another bird in another couple of months. I am a farm wife so I’m home everyday! So I have time to spend with it. Eventually I would want the Quaker to free fly around the house with the budgie.

So cute. Ive got an 8 month old Quaker and he's just started to try and say "What ya doing." I'm grateful to have found this video as I didnt really know what to teach him to say and he loves learning new things.

He is so incredibly precious and he love the attention so much I love you both!

What a cutie, my female doesn’t speak as much and very sassy lol she is best friends with my love bird .

Lol love how he bops his head when you talk. My two Quakers do the same but they also stick their tongue out and "mumble" when I speak.

Thank you so much for your video. I am going to buy one of those birds and my main concern is that they poop everywhere and it's a liquid poop. How do you manage with this?
