quaker parrot

Hi, I've had Jax for nearly 11 years and have only just been told that tea tree oil is bad news. The thing is I have been using tea tree oil face wash and body wash for over a year and have just recently (6 months-ish) started using tea tree shampoo as well. All are from The Body Shop in...

Hi! I'm new here in the forum, because I have a rescued quaker parrot, and I'm having some trouble with her. She's been with me for two years now, and I've noticed every late spring-summer so far she starts to bite and cut bits off her wings and tail. I took her to the only vet in town that...

Hello all! I have a 1 year old quaker parrot and for the last few days, her left ear has been swollen and the skin around it is dry. Her feathers that cover the ear also look damp. Anyone ever had this happen with their quaker parrot?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum as I am new here :( I have booked an appointment for my baby and the earliest I've been given is tomorrow afternoon, I will try to call again early tomorrow morning to see if there's any cancellations. For context, my quaker has been injured as he got...

My parrot was doing find this past week up until today, my mom told me she saw my parrot in his water bowl slouching down and looked as if he were dead according to her, and usually when my mom would put one of her fingers in his cage he would charge at her but this time he didn’t. He seemed to...

I would like to take my quaker parrot from Washington state to California state for a five day visit. I know that quaker parrots are illegal in California; does this include visiting QP that will not be staying in the state? Also, I plan to fly with Alaska has anyone utilized this airline before...

My Quaker parrot has pin feathers and I was wondering if I should remove them or not. I believe I saw a video saying that you should, but I haven’t yet because I don’t want to hurt my bird. Should I remove them or should I wait until they come out themselves. What should I do? (His pin feathers...

I have a male Quaker parrot and his name is Scout, whenever he’s on my shoulder he always bites my ears and my neck and no it’s not him nibbling me, if he were then it wouldn’t be hurting, he full on bites me and a quaker parrots bite hurts. I saw a video that suggested I’d pinch his beak, but...

My video of Fifi getting scritches: I have a rescue quaker parrot, Fifi, who only lets me pet/give her scritches on the top of her beak. Her beak was injured and is currently growing back, so I’m sure it’s an extra sensitive area to touch— especially considering how sensitive the upper beak...

Hi! new here and just joined because of some questions I have about my young female Quaker! Whenever she's perched on me or nearby and I start talking, she begins to squawk and bob her head tons! I'm not really sure why, because she isn't afraid of my presence when I'm silent or making clicking...

Okay so I have a baby Quaker 3 months old (20 weeks old) and I've had him for maybe a little over a month now and I was wondering how long it takes them to get used to their owners? He's very skittish and doesn't let my hands by him, he won't step up unless I have a treat and it's a wood dowel...

Hello. My Quaker parrot, Gumi, has been acting differently than usual lately. She’s 3 years old and usually hangs on the bars of the cage, but recently she’s been sitting at the bottom. She’s also become highly territorial, lunging and screeching at the cats from within her cage whenever they...

So I have had my quaker parrot Boogie for about 4 months now and it’s definitely nothing like I expected. She bonded with me almost immediately which was great but she is aggressive towards my other bird, in hindsight I definitely should’ve done more research and now I think the birds not...

Hello! My names Titan and I just recently joined Parrot Forums with the hope of learning new ways to give my birds the best life possible. I currently have one male cockatiel named Phish who I’ve had for around 6 months now. Sometimes he’s a little demon but I love him regardless. I also decided...

I’m in a bit of a pickle here. I’ll be attending college as a freshman next year in Pennsylvania, and I want to bring my Quaker with me; she is my everything. While Quaker’s aren’t illegal in Virginia (where I live currently) they are invasive species in PA and will be euthanized if discovered...

I have a quaker named Houdini who is about a year old. I remember being so thrilled when she first let me hold her, but now I can't seem to get her off of me. This wouldn't be an issue if she wasn't hurting me. She likes to preen my hair but she does it so aggressively that she's pulling my hair...

Yoshi was a rambunctious 9 year old little devil—he ruled the house and he knew it. I have cats and dogs and they all begged and listen to the all-powerful Quaker. He somehow convinced my dogs his food was dog-treats, and often had them begging and doing tricks for him. The cats ignored him, and...

Ok so I live in Yonkers,NY and my neighbor across the street left their quaker outside in the cold. As an human being who actually cares about animals, I quickly brought him/her into my home. Now I know nothing about parrots or owning one. So I've been calling around all day today to find a...

I'm a first time bird owner with a two year old quaker parrot named Nyx who is the light of my life. He's goofy and lovable and a really great companion, but I've started having problems with him the last month. I have five zebra finches as well, including two females, and I usually had them in...

Hi! I recently acquired a quaker parrot from a not-so-great home and we're trying to adjust to eachother. His name is Nico and he just came into my life this morning. I was wondering if you guys could help me understand some of his behaviour? When I first met him he was very bitey, drawing a...

I am looking forward to having some good times and some advice on parrot care here. My bird is a Quaker parrot with green ad lime feathers and his name is Timmy. He's a shy bird with a temper. I'm trying to teach him to not bite my glove when I try to pet him. So basically, I'm a new parrot...

Hi guys, I have a question, which is better in your opinion? Green cheek conure, or Quaker Parrot? I'm looking for a snuggle bug who'll be a good companion Talking is somewhat important for me, but its not a dealbreaker. Also, which one is bigger? And, are they one-person birds? I have 5...

Hello everyone! My name is Jamie, and I have a three year old quaker parrot named Gary. I got him when he was just a baby, so we've bonded really well together. He has been having some issues that I've been trying to solve that have been going since last summer. I'm a college student and Gary...

My name is Jamie, and I have a 4 year old Quaker parrot named Gary. He has been plucking his feathers since he was about two. At about June 2016 he cut in the crease under his wing, and so the vet put him in a cone and stitched him up. After he was healed he began picking under there, so I took...

Hello! I recently got a new quaker yesterday and he is still very uncomfortable being in his new home. I started playing quaker bird calls for him and he started responding! I was wondering if playing these calls for him was cruel or if it made him happy?

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum. I have very little experience with birds. When I was little, I had two budgies but only my mom handled them. I did not get out of that experience due to my young age. We didn't really know what we were doing so they were not tamed or trained at all. They...

I have narrowed it down to Linnie, Parrotlet, or Quaker Parrot and would like to hear peoples experiences with those and which would fit in best with my family. I only looked into birds I always already interested in, but if someone thinks of another bird that would fit in with my family better...

So I have two quaker parrots. We put them and their cage outside (they were inside the cage). So my dad went to cleanup their cage, and my female quaker escaped and flew away. We found an egg inside the cage with the male quaker. Is it possible that she flew away because of the egg? Getting...
