Answer by cant spell!
you did not get ripped off, that’s is a very good deal. parrots are like no outer pets in the worlds! parrots are usually a one person bird and you have to get there trust, this takes from 4 weeks to 3 months and more sometimes. he doesn’t know your hand is safe yet, you gotta show him your hand is not a threat and he will come near and “test” you he will nibble on your finger and may bite, if he dose bite do not pull away, for this may cause a bad Habit. then you need stick train him. if you really want this bird to love you you will need to spend 2 hours a day playing and talking to him. I had bought a trick and taming training dvd from bird tricks.com its alright it helps a little but good luck and do lots of Research and join some Forms. there videos on youtube to help you earn your birds trust.

This was something Cpt Jack started doing naturally so I just started saying knock knock when he hit his beak on the bars of his cage.

Please answer! What disease killed my beloved parakeets? What can I do to protect my Quaker Parrot from it?

Question by Megan: Please answer! What disease killed my beloved parakeets? What can I do to protect my Quaker Parrot from it?
My parakeets seemed to feel really lethargic and weak. They wouldn’t sing with me and could barely fly. I unexpectedly found my parakeet on the bottom of the cage dead Thursday when I came home from school. This morning I discovered my other parakeet’s lifeless body on the bottom of the cage like the other one. I can’t stand to lose my Quaker Parrot too. How can I protect him from this evil disease?
We buried the dead birds outside. Well, my Quaker Parrot is okay and healthy so far. I doubt there are any vets nearby that treat birds.

more information is needed. I would consult an avian vet.
