My first bird was a male blue quaker, he was incredibly affectionate, loved cuddles and scratches, he did scream when i first got him but we worked through that quickly, and he would make soft chirps occasionally and could say hello, good boy and give kisses.. and he learnt many tricks very easily

He didn't like new people, but after i introduced him and he got used to them for a few hours he would go to them and let them touch him!
He wasn't needy, of course he preferred being with me, but he would go in his cage when he had to

good luck

Since each parrot is an individual, there will be differences in temperament and personality between any two Quakers. They have the reputation for being noisy, and many are, but not all. My QP Ralph is on the quiet side. Quakers can be bossy and stubborn, and will demand their fair share of attention, and more. Quakers tend not to realize that they're small, and generally have "big parrot" attitudes. They are typically intelligent and curious, and often have the potential to be good at imitating speech and sounds. Some QPs live up to their reputation for being cage aggressive (Ralph isn't, but he is possessive of his food dish). Some Quakers are cuddly and affectionate, some are not. There isn't usually any noticeable difference between blue Quakers and standard green ones in personality or character.
