We have them in Long Island NY and Queens too ! They escaped JFK from a cargo container and spread all over lol i recently got one as a pet!!! Such awesome birds!
@Marceline Ingot yea they build nests near electrical line transformers...crazy how they adapted....im just not sure what they eat...crab apples...maybe acorns or w.e. else they can find...but they are thriving and spreading out
Eric W awesome. They should be protected. We didn’t do shit to stop doves starlings or grackles so why kill the much cooler more colorful parakeets? Am i right
They're a pest in america because of they're ability to ravish whole farms these birds come from s america where wild fruit is abundant not so much in america hence they're a pest
@@alibee7147 Actually, there's no proof of quaker parrots "ravishing" whole farms. That is fear based commentary not based on fact. They do build extension colonies but aren't a threat to farms or agriculture here in the US as once was thought.
They are in Dallas Texas also, they visit the date tree until all the dates are gone, they also have smaller green parrots in Ft. Worth Texas with very larger nests in the trees at the corner of 5th and Bryce, just off interstate 20 & Crowley James, they are beautiful and fascinating to watch
Ive seen these beautiful parakeets in San Antonio and in Austin. See alot more of them in Austin especially in the eastside. When I lived with my ex there was a wooded area behind our apartments and back there was also a large cell phone tower. I hear these parrots like cell towers because they have a 360 degree view of everything around them. So point of the story whenever we would get in bad arguments I would end up in the woods alot to avoid more conflict I would sit in the woods and let her cool down. I would drink a beer while sitting in the woods and I could hear the distinctive calling of these beautiful birds above my head cuz I would sit underneath the tower. Sometimes I would sit there for a couple hours enjoying the peaceful sound of these birds. Watching them take off 2-3 at a time and circling back to the tower. How I wished to fly away with them. Glad I got out of that situation and out of that toxic relationship. Sadly I cant visit my parakeet neighbors anymore cuz I dont live with my ex anymore. And the last thing we need to hear about is “ex boyfriend hanging out in woods behind ex girlfriends apartments” (claims to come by too visit parrots) 🤦🏻♂️
Slowly build trust get him used to your hands...hes going to bite but let him if u want maybe try lite gloves and let him ...hand feed him...keep at it 💪
No, Quakers don't tend to migrate overseas, but move to new areas inland somewhere where there is plenty of food. I saw a few during the winter in San Leon (south of Houston) once.
@d. nuzzio They're south american, specially from Argentina, and it surprises me that they're in europe and north america too haha. They're beautiful and a good company friend, very loyal to the owner and protector. They will think you're they mother if you raise them in the first weeks. They even can talk and sing.

Quakers are very chatty and smart..
Yup, they're Quaker/Monk parrots. A hearty breed known to build 'condos' on power transformers for the heat during the winter.
I'm in Houston 610 and 290 and I see about 30 of them every day

What kind of food do you put in that feeder to attract these parrots? I can watch these all day! I am in Austin, going to try something in my yard.
HI Raj, Quakers absolutely love chilies, sweet potato and most fruit, all raw. Cheers Tim
Heh I have a green and a blue one one of them is named sonic while the other is Luigi , guess which name goes with which bird
I didn’t know Quakers came from Texas.
They don’t; these are pets released into the wild.
How do I train my Quaker not to bite me when he’s 3 years old?
