Hello Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm new to the forum, and have just bought a baby Quaker. Not sure how old he is tbh, he looks like 2-3 weeks old and we are hand rearing him.

I bred cockatiels and love birds about 15 years ago, but never hand reared the birds. So it's a new journey for my son and myself. We might be getting a Rosella chick very shortly.

TIA

Welcome to you! Please be so very careful with the little one! They are so fragile!

Welcome!
I hope everything goes well. Hearing of new members who are caring for unweaned babies always makes my heart skip a beat.
May I offer you a thread from one of our most respected members?

Good luck.

Thank you for the welcome. I was hesitant to buy an unweaned baby, but it seems it's a normal practice unfortunately.

Welcome to you and your young Quaker. Having breeding experience gives some advantage, but please read the posted link above reference buying unweaned babies. You'll want every advantage possible to ensure a good outcome.
