Need help Identifying my new bird

[mom2bug]

Hi, I need some help identifying my new bird. The person who gave it to me says it is a 6 year old small type macaw parrot. I had someone else tell me that it is a Quaker. Please help!!!!

Looks like a Quaker to me.

Quaker I think!

Most definitely a Quaker parrot A.K.A Quaker parakeet

Definitely a Quaker, sometimes called a Monk parakeet.

Definitely a quaker parakeet. Be aware that they are illegal in some states, so you may want to check into that. What's going on with his head feathers, or is that just the picture?

Quaker, Monk Parrot whichever you wanna call him. They are illegal to own, breed, or sell in many states!!!! Check your state!

I concur that it is a Quaker.

 

[BillsBirds]

Definitely a green Quaker. They're called Quakers because their gray chests reminded whoever named them of the aprons that Quaker women wore.

Absolutely a Quaker, and despite the somber nature of human Quakers, these guys are known to be real clowns! Congrats on your new baby!

Cute Quaker!

Ralph and I can confirm that your new parrot is most certainly a Quaker.
