Question by mscott425: How do I get my quaker parrot to stop biting?
“Sunny” is 6 months old. There are many people in my household and he only bites two people. My husband and my sister. We can’t figure out why he just bites them and I would love to get the bird to be nice to them so they can enjoy him too.

Green cheek conure or Quaker parrot? 10 points to best answer!!?

Question by emsbaby: Green cheek conure or Quaker parrot? 10 points to best answer!!?
Okay so I thought for sure that I was set on a Quaker parrot and then I see this green cheek conure come up. Now I don’t know which one to choose! Ive been doing a lot of research on both. I have the time and I have a nice big cage. I’m looking for a bird that’ll want to be with me and be more cuddly. Talking is a plus but not necessary. Also too I live in west Virginia which is a tiny state and there are no breeders here so I’m going to have to order a bird offline which I hate to do but I have to! We have one petstore but they’re wanting literally 900 dollars for their conures an you can get them online fo like 250.. And they neglect their animals so the petstore is out. Price doesn’t matter they’re both around the same price. I just want a smart cuddly bird. Please help me decide or give your input!

I don’t know too much about the quakers but i know the green cheeks are very friendly and some of the quieter species of parrots. Green cheeks are very playful and loving and are a lot of fun to watch play. Both should be able to bond well with you but be sure to get a hand raised bird as they are already used to human contact and easier to train and handle. I hope this helps you in some way and good luck with whatever little friend you choose to get.

Answer by jen’s3littlebirds
First you’d need to know if you have a male and female. Next their age would be good to know too. Usually a good age for quakers to breed is 18 months. Quakers lay anywhere up to 7 eggs in a clutch (usually around 5 is common), and they hatch after 24 days. The female will lay one egg every other day, and start to incubate after the second or third egg is laid.

My Quaker Parrot Kyo is being mean now, what should I do? D=?
Category: Quaker Parrot Cages
Question by Altair_Gimmik: My Quaker Parrot Kyo is being mean now, what should I do? D=?
My Quaker Parrot Kyo, when I last sent “Ask” Question I checked up on Kyo and Boy he was talking like crazy! I was so surprised! On the day I sent the message of his ill-ness he starts to talk.
I try to pick him up but he ran towards me and bit me really hard.
He NEVER ever bit me before and that just stund me. He loves to be held and pet but he started acting really odd.
Not being himself. Now when ever I get near his cage he starts chargeing at me and I feel so un-loved. All that attention I’ve been giving him.
I need some advice of how to make sure he won’t bite me, or is the ill-ness getting to him?
Best answer:
Answer by Wilt
If he has had a previous illness that could very well be it. He may be in pain and although he doesn’t mean to harm you, instinct tells him to protect himself the only way he knows how. Take him to the vet and get him checked out again, and try to give him a little space see if he comes around.

Question by Andrea: Aggresive bird?? HELP ? My quaker female bird randomly started becoming aggresive? what did i do? best answrr!?
Ok well i just got a female quaker parrot about a week ago shes ben so sweet up until about two days ago. Every day i tak her out give her treats and lots of attention. what she usually likes to do is go on top of her cage and just chit chat and play with my curtains. Now recently shs started becoming aggresive towards me when i take her out and put her on her cage. she starts making this annoying sqawking and trys to bite me (but it doesnt hurt its like a gentle touch) and its only when i try to hold her. but thn when i walk away she just goes about her buisness she always wants to come out bc shes on her door chirping. am i taking her out too much? is she becoming territorial pf her cage? are females prone to becoming territorial of their cages? anyone have a quaker to relate?? THANK YOU!! PLEASE HELPPPP!!

Quaker Parrot says Peek-a-boo
Category: Quaker Parrot Cages
This must be from her former life with her 1st owner…or, TV. All of a sudden it was just there. All the other noise, whistles and clicks are from my African Grey in the cage off to our left.

a few questions about my quaker parrot; experienced parrot parents only please…?
Category: Quaker Parrot Cages
Question by jedonite: a few questions about my quaker parrot; experienced parrot parents only please…?
Alfie the quaker parrot is fairly well behaved and knows how to entertain herself. (i assume she is female)
please try to answer all the questions:
Why does Alfie prefer women over men?
Why does she scream when she flies?
She is tame enough to let me touch all of her body including under her wings but she refuses to hold on to my finger with both feet at the same time; she only grabs on with one at a time and is reluctant to hold on with both simultaneously. How can i get her to hold on with both?
Alfie is skiddish… she gets scared at the smallest things sometimes which results with her flying in a screaming frenzy, going to her cage and hiding in her happy hut. she gets scared if i don’t knock, if i pick up a large object, etc.
how can i get her to be more brave and trusting?

Answer by SnarkFishâ„¢
Why does Alfie prefer women over men?
Some birds are just that way. Some like men over women.
Why does she scream when she flies?
Again, some birds are like that. I’ve had three Quakers in my lifetime and they did it sometimes and sometimes they didn’t.
Unless she’s perching, she prefers using one foot to hold onto you with. It lets her feel secure holding onto something steady with at least one foot.
You really can’t make her less skittish. Birds only have two means of protecting themselves — biting and flying away from the danger. If her wings were clipped, she’d be less likely to fly to her cage and hide.
I don’t know how safe your house is, but if you carry her around with you while you’re doing other things, she’ll get used to different sounds and sights.
My three caiques aren’t afraid of ANYTHING — mainly because they’re allowed into every area of my apartment (I live alone and have no other pets, so it’s relatively safe).
