Baby Quaker
hi my name is Jessica I am new to the fourm. I just got a baby quaker and the lady said it was two weeks. But my friend who is a breeder and also my cousin said its 5 weeks or more. Its on 3 hand feedings a day but pecking trying to eat everything and past the eat then sleep stage. I put in a seed bar and it loves it. Its trying hard to fly but cannot ballence for perching. I have it in a 5 gallon aquarium with a mirror and a stuffed animal that it snuggles qith. I think im doing everything right. Its cage is huge 5 feet tall and I made a play tree out of grapevine for it when its older =) so excited cant wait tell its a little older and can play =)

:greenyellow:

Im sorry photo bucket is acting up I will post pics tomorrow if they upload =)
Ill post cage and play tree pics as well as the baby name Sammy

Once you post the pictures I will be able to tell you about how old Sammy is. If he is eating and trying to fly, it would be fine to put Sammy in a cage now so he can learn on how to perch.

He's definitely 5 weeks old! Not ready to fledge just yet but soon!!!! I think you've got a boy there. Males have wider beak and head. I raised one and he said his word to me at 5 weeks old, he said Hello. I talk to him daily when I see him as I say Hello every time. He shocked me when he spoke to me cause that's very unusual.
