I accidentally bypassed this thread before I made my first post. So here goes...

I'm new here and I have a Quaker Parrot and soon I will have an Eclectus he is being weaned and should be ready sometime in May. I am really excited!

Kiku is my Quaker she is 10 years old and I hand fed her so she has been with me her whole life. She was thought to be a he until about 3 years ago she laid an egg, but by that time she already learned "Good Boy". So she goes around telling herself she's a good boy! My poor girl. She has become a bit of a terror, but I can deal with it we've already gone this far

My new ekkie boy who I think my husband and I have decided on calling Tobi, is going to be a very exciting addition. Kiku grew up with me and therefore won't tolerate my husband so he is excited to have a parrot he can grow, and interact with. I'll attach pictures of both of them.

Mine would of been 12 years old now if he was still around. My dog killed him when he was a pup, I rescued the pup as he was very ill, but still strong enough to go after him....Quakers are escape artists and I was only 2 feet from his cage going to put him up when he escaped, he jumped and the pup ran so fast I could get to him fast enough to save him....I raised Cracker since he was a baby, handfed him myself so that was hard for me to go through....

Oh thats a very sad story, but now he is flying free with tons of other birds. Sounds like it was just a freak accident don't beat yourself up over it. You have a great community of birdies at your home it looks like
