Question by Meghz: Quaker Parrot and his strange noise?
My quaker parrot seems to be very happy and sweet. He makes some kind of noise and it sounds like a purr. Is this a happy noise or does it mean he’s annoyed?

Answer by John P
This is a happy noise, just like when a cat purrs.
It means he is VERY happy!!

What is good, fast, easy to to feed a Quaker Parrot?

Question by jon: What is good, fast, easy to to feed a Quaker Parrot?
My Quaker Parrot started plucking all his feathers out so I took him to a vet and they told me that I should be feeding him anything except for onions and avocados. That was a surprise because the pet store told to feed him seeds only. I always keep seed in his cage so if he gets hungry but I also try to give him some fresh fruit and vegetables everyday. Sometimes I am not home for a day or two and I doubt the people I live will take the time to give him fresh fruit. I know I am probably not the best person in the world to have this bird but he has been my friend for the last 10 years so I really hate to give him up. Plus in the near future I may get to be home more often so I will have time to take better care of him. My question is whats something that I can give him before I leave so he will have something to eat other than seeds? I was thinking some kind of trail mix, with dried apples, bananas, and raisins. Is this a bad Idea or is there something else that would be better?
thanx
So is there any good premixed food that will stay good for a long time that I can give him? I always try to give him fresh food but I just don’t always have time. What would be better than seeds?
thanks again
I know he probably gets a little lonely and that also has to do with his feather plucking. He does have lots of toys but the odd thing is he never plays with them. He has toys that are two years old that look like their brand new. That just seems odd because most birds with play with and basically shred their toys within a month or two. Could their be a reason he doesn’t play with his toys? Is there any thing else that could make him pluck his feathers?
thanks again
I never thought of feeding him a can of mixed vegetables before, that is a good idea. What about a bag of frozen mixed vegetables? I think frozen vegetables would last longer than an open can. Could I just microwave a handful everyday day or two to give him or is that a bad idea?
thanks

Try some tubers, like sweet potato. A lot less sweet than granola or anything else and can last for a few days without turning bad.

Quaker lays on her back
Category: Training Quaker Parrots
For most birds, it’s very unnatural for them to lay on their backs and it takes a lot of trust and training to get them to do this. It’s my favorite behavior to teach a bird, and I have three that will do it for me. Zyda’s camera shy, though, and Anica just skips through all the steps and rolls over on her own, so I decided Adaryn would be best for showing purposes.

Question about Quaker Parrots.?
Category: Quaker Parrot Food
Question by Saeed S: Question about Quaker Parrots.?
i just got a quaker and the people that i got it ffrom said he talked and was friendly. i beleived them cuz the guy made the bird kiss him on the lips. so far he hasnt talked or been friendly. its been 2 days. he does take treats from my hand but doesnt want me to touch him. so will he warm up or was i scamed? i got him for $ 250 did i get ripped off?
Best answer:
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.

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

my quaker parrot is one year old and still doesn’t fly?
Category: Quaker Parrot Cages
Question by Kiki: my quaker parrot is one year old and still doesn’t fly?
My green quaker, Elvis *cuz he goes crazy when he hears Elvis Presley music* is a year old and 2 months and still doesn’t know how to fly. Should I be worried? I mean, I don’t think its cuz he’s fat and he’s never had his wings clipped. He’s very friendly and gets along with everyone so I want him to learn how to fly to my shoulder instead of me walking all the way to his cage and picking him up. Any help is greatly appreciated :D
~Kiki
Also, I have 2 budgie parakeets *Moosen and Nuggit* and they learned how to fly very quickly, we haven’t even had them for a year yet. That’s why I’m curious
