Well this honestly explains a lot. From why mine seems to behave like a little rat from October to January to proving me and my father are correct in that he needs to come out of his cage more often.
Quaker Parrot World Ive heard of those aswell but even though we are careful of that she doesn’t want to leave the house like we might have the door slightly open and she will stay on the couch and I once opened the door with her on my shoulder but im not going to take any chances
Mine is very attached to me. Grooms me, let me access the cage even when she have eggs and go outside to free fly every day. If a stranger show up within 100 feet, she growl to warn me of the 'danger' , same if a hawk is flying nearby. On the other hands, she hates everyone else, learned to coexist with my wife a little but still wont let her touch her. My brother in law and my son, she just B-line for them fearlessly, latch on their back and keep biting. I have to be careful if they are in the same room. This was a good video to watch if you plan on getting a quaker parrot.
@@quakerparrotandlovebirds1138 I wondered if I could get a baby lovebird to be with my baby Quaker. I had a baby lovebird that lived until he was 23. My Quaker passed unexpectedly at 14 last year
Excellent video! Some of the behaviors you discussed are very similar to those of my Green Cheek Conure. Do you think a GCC and Quaker would be compatible?
Actually i am not too familiar with Conures. Also it is lot dependent from bird to bird, and their previous experience. They tolerate Lovebirds. I think they would be fine with GCC. But still i would get 2 cages for them. Especially at beginning...
many good points in this video about Quaker parrots. My Quaker parrot is 21 now mellowing out in his old age now. he still likes to prank me, aggravate me, and give me a hard time. I retired 11 years ago so now i open their cage up and let them out for the day. they love it. I have a 15 year old green cheek conure also. qp and his green cheek buddy are the best of friends and they spend most of their day together. My QP comes out to land on my bald head and slide ( lol), preen me, and get treats, sunflower seeds, raisins, and Cheerios. etc.I hope he'll make a few more years.
It is only color difference. There is no behavioural difference between Green and Blue Quaker Parrot. Breeders do selective breeding only to get certain color traits.
I have a yellow Quaker. So from what I learned, green is a colour made from blue and yellow. Yellow and blue quakers often don't make it in the wild because they stand out, but they're no different in their personality, they just tend to survive better in captivity.

I see these all the time here in Hollywood, Florida while buzzing around on my Vespa. Super wholesome sight; I think they come from the Caribbean. They’re quite noisy so you definitely hear them squabbling before you actually see them
We have them in New Orleans too. They are actually native to a small area in South America that encompasses parts of Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina. What we are seeing in New Orleans and Hollywood, Fl are feral birds, which means they are the progeny of people's pets who were released or escaped (possibly during a hurricane) and then survived and bred in an urban environment. They love the date palms here and also building huge nests in the transformers. You can actually feed them a high quality parrot mix in a bird feeder, if you're willing to put up with all the pigeons and rats that might also like a little snack.
I want to buy one but I don't know if I should get two of them to have company or if I should get one, keep it for a year and then one more after I've bonded with the first oooor if I should just get one and not a second one !
It is LOT harder to bond with them if you get 2. Second option sounds better. I would buy one. And spend as much time with him. After some time he will consider you like another bird 🙂
@@ellaalpha979 I have 2 females and they’re like sisters. I would recommend getting 2 girls or 2 boys. If you get 1 girl and 1 boy, you might have to worry about unplanned babies 😂

My quaker just walks out her cage when she wants attention
Ohh it can be risky. Make sure your door are closed. I have heard of many stories of parrots flying away...
But yea, really good for them to have freedom to fly 👌

Being a adorable lovable little butthead is one of the characteristics that quakers have.
So, signs of a happy Quaker? Besides them not screaming.
I liked your video. I have a blue quaker named freddie and this was very helpful. Thank you 👍
Thanks Dave.
Thank you,I've learnt something from this video 😊

Very useful video thankx
i know you your from Birds TV 4U
Yes I love Birdstv4u channel
I just got a Quaker and he is small I want to know what kind of food to feed him? I hope he bonds with me like my love bird
Hours ago i found a quaker bird so my family and neighbors help get it we caught i still have it
Wow so exciting.... Nice... Hope it is healthy, and well...
Nice video!
I already know this by having one I just wanna see ur birds s9 cute ♥️
Thanks 💕
I got one Quaker parrot named him. Yoda
Nice name.. I guess he is Green Quaker 😁
@@quakerparrotandlovebirds1138 yup
Do the Quaker and lovebird stay in the same cage?
No, they have separate cages
@@quakerparrotandlovebirds1138 I wondered if I could get a baby lovebird to be with my baby Quaker. I had a baby lovebird that lived until he was 23. My Quaker passed unexpectedly at 14 last year
I’m trying to tame my Quaker, but no luck yet. It’s been 3 years.
Try millet or their favorite food on the other side of your hand that you're trying to get them to step up onto.
U should not put nest box for a single bird or birds with same gender.........
Yea, usually no need for it
My Quaker parrot died today :( he was blue just like the one in the video.
Am I the only one who didn't listen and only watched the quakers?
I looked at 6 videos and this one is by far the best. Thanks for posting
Thanks...

Is there any real difference other than color in a blue and green Quaker? Is one better or is it just the color difference?
It is only color difference. There is no behavioural difference between Green and Blue Quaker Parrot. Breeders do selective breeding only to get certain color traits.
Ok! Thankyou!

what kind of bird is the small one?
It is Lovebird.
I had budgies and lovebirds. And lovebirds seems more active, and louder.
I want to buy one but I don't know if I should get two of them to have company or if I should get one, keep it for a year and then one more after I've bonded with the first oooor if I should just get one and not a second one !

@@quakerparrotandlovebirds1138 thank you so much for replying to me! I appreciate it. Best option is getting a male and a female right?

@@youtubeguest6177 hahaha aww, it's very nice that your two girls get along! You're lucky!
And yes an unplanned baby wouldn't be pleasant 😂😂
This was very helpful, I just bought two green Quaker parrots named Ringo and Star. 👍
Thanks Chamby
Love my bird
How old are they normally when they begin to speak words or imitate sounds?
depends on a bird really. I had some that never spoke... Some spoke after a year or something...
Is a year old still good
yep if your patient
