Grew up with African Grey & Eclectus.
Waiting on a baby Quaker Parrot... His name will be "Aziah Kaide"
Hi everyone! I'm not new here, I pop in every now and again.
I've been debating for a couple of years on adopting a parrot. We had a few while growing up but they came and went. We had a cockatoo, a grey, and the last was an Ekkie. ( My mom still has her.)
All that being said, I've really been wanting to get a parrot for myself now that I'm settled into my career and have an adorable, one bedroom here on the beach. So, after some research and knowing what I want in a (lifetime) companion pet, I have my heart set on a Quaker but... I keep reading and hearing that they may be too loud for an apartment. Regardless, I have the confidence, knowing what a Quaker needs and demands. I have the time to bond and teach, etc. I truly feel that I can keep my baby stimulated enough to keep his noise level/intervals controlled. Most of my neighbors work the same schedule as me, so I think the routine could work out. I just need experienced advice from Quaker parents so I can better assess the possibilities. I am also looking into more apartment friendly species like the Pionus and Senegal but I really want a talker. I'm going to be spending a lot of time with whichever baby I adopt. I just need to decide and its hard... Every bird is amazingly unique and beautiful. How can anyone decide??... Help! LOL
Thank you all for your advice and suggestions ahead of time. This is going to be my first, very own parrot and I can't wait to hear everyone's point of view!
