Are all Quakers like this? He/she spends hours chattering whether its alone or to someone else.

I don't know the answer to your question but your bird is very cute. I've always heard Quakers are good talkers and very vocal. The one at my vet's is always making what sounds like little belching sounds. But, I think that might be an unhappy sound because she doesn't like me, and stalks me.

The one at my vet's flies over the second I walk in the door. She then either attacks my arm or my shoes. And everywhere I go she hunts me down.

My Quaker Ralph is nowhere near that vocal, but he tends to be a quiet Quaker anyway. :)

RIP Shrek: Quaker
Shrek did talk a lot in context.... if that's what you call it...

He'd say nitenite, when I turned off the lights, byebye, when I picked up my keys and whatchadoing, when working in the kitchen... He said a lot of other things, but these are the ones I remember the most...

Shrek would also attack me, if he thought I was in danger, as when my daughter came over and touched my arm.... he bit me on my face, telling me to get away (in his language)..

After he passed, I couldn't get another quaker, so I got an Alexandrine instead....

Lene, your Shrek sounds much like my BCC, Briana was. All day long, it was "Whatcha doin?" And if she liked my answer she would then say, "Good girl!" And at night, both her and Rowdy said "Goodnight." But, then later as I crept up the stairs to go to bed I'd hear more faint, "Goodnight"s from Bri.
