Quaker Parrots
The Quaker Parrot or Monk Parakeet is a very popular South American parrot. Often referred to as a parakeet due to its long pointed tail, the Quaker is a small mostly greenish and grey bird.
At approximately 11-13 inches the Quaker may be a small parrot but its personality is that of a much larger bird. They are very intelligent and gregarious birds and will not be bullied by any other bird, a trait that can sometimes get them into trouble.
Quaker parrots have a very high energy level and need to be supplied with many toys and activities to keep them occupied and out of trouble if let out of their cage.
The Quaker parrot can often be trained to be well behaved pets and to do many tricks, some also can be taught to talk with the proper training. to teach your Quaker to talk an excellent program can be found Here Talking Quaker
Quaker parrots as with all other parrot species require a proper diet. When planning a feeding program for your bird the number one thing to remember is to try and limit feeding seed as much as possible. At one time parrots were
feed exclusively on seed, however this is a very poor diet. A good diet must be varied and supply as much fresh fruit and vegetables as possible and a good pelleted diet with seeds given sparingly as a treat.
The Quaker parrot make a great small pet, and with the proper parrot training will be a joy for the family for many years. For how to train continue here Parrot Training

okay i bought a quaker parrort and he is amazing when he is out of his cage and will do anything but you can’t get him out of his cage when he is in there he hisses and bites at me the lady that had him just let him roam free about her house and never used the cage but i can’t let him do that lol and another thing is she said he talks constantly and i have only seen him shake his head yes and whistles and mock my making noises with my tounge he is also six years old will he ever talk?? please help me this is my first bird
I can answer the question. I have two Quakers a male and a female, and they both talk They say things like GOOD MORNING, Pailie is a good boy, I LOVE YOU , where is ALAZA, YOUR BEAUTIFUL and sing. You have to keep saying thr phrase over and over ntil he say it. It is wonderful to hear and clear you will have no problem understanding him. I let him out of his cage and tell him inside while holding a white towel and he goes in I have to say it several times. Not all the time. I hope this helps
Can you please tell me how long it takes for quaker parrots, eggs to hatch. I pave a pair of quaker parrots and they are sitting on three eggs. It has been 19 days so far. I am getting excited as I have in the past had several birds hath eggs. Thanx for your help, Denise
With the laying of the second or third egg, the pair begins incubation (the practice of applying heat to stimulate growth of the embryo) which lasts anywhere from 24 to 28 days. The eggs should be candled to check for fertility as not all eggs will be fertile, especially the first clutch.
my birds have laid 4 eggs in all. my stupid ideas—i placed some real soft screaded moss like stuff in there to help make a nest. well my well intent went bad. they threw out the nest the 2 eggs were in it. i heared some where if a bird looses her egg and you put a new somthing small and shaped like that she might lay again. i tried it and susie laid 2 more eggs on the27th. now im just praying we get at least one chick out of this. this time im two scared to mess with them at all. think ill leave it up to mother and mother nature this time….
My quaker, Omar, is 2 yrs. old. I don’t know if Omar is male or female. A friend also as a quaker, she (has been DNA tested) is very active. Omar is not as active as hers. My friend’s quaker is approx. 20+ yrs old. Does age have something to do with it or could Omar be getting to much attention from the family? I have also bought him new toys and Omar doesn’t seem to be interested. How long should I give him b4 I take them out of his cage and replace them with his old ones?
How do I get him to try new fruit and veggies? I know this is a 50 question session, but if anyone can give advice I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
