Can two quaker parrots live in the same cage?
I have two baby quakers from different cluthes. One is a blue and one is a green. I wanted to know if they could live together or should I buy two cages? I just want them as pets and I got them from the same person they are 2wks difference in their ages but both still being handfeed by me. Thanks
So to keep them as pets and to love me it would be best to keep them apart? I have one huge cage with a play top. But I can buy another cage for them. I thought they would like having a birdie friend to play with but I want them to love me also. They get along fine now they sleep together. They are 2wks old and almost 4wks old well from the hatch date.

Awww aren’t baby quakers so cute when you handfeed? They are adorable!! They may be okay in the same cage, since they are babies and will grow together and bond with each other. Just keep an eye out as they reach sexual maturity (in quakers 12 to 18 months). If they are of the same sex than you may start having some troubles, you just never know with birds how they are going to react to something. Sexual maturity in birds sometimes causes birds to become hormonal and act strange. If you handle them both everyday they will bond together but still form a strong bond with you. I have never had a problem with birds sharing a cage and then not bonding with me. The only ones I can’t touch are my breeding pairs and that is just because they have never been handled. Play with them and spend time interacting with them and they will love you very much. Quakers have a strong desire to be a part of a family. They are awesome, spunky little birds with wonderful personality’s. Congrat’s on your new babies!
