Answer 1

I just answered this question a couple of days ago, so I'm going to reference my answer. I could type all night as I currently have a Quaker standing on my shoulder trying to burrow under my hair!

One of the best websites on Quakers is Jon Marc Davey's website:

http://www.quakerville.com/
Another here:

There is general information on Parrots everywhere. Quakers are indeed parrots and the care and training of those species is nearly identical to that of the larger birds. Some of the best websites on parrots in general are here:

I'm unsure what kind of information you want, so I gave you a wide variety of websites to look at. Did you want information on behavior and training? Nutrition? Basic care?
If you need more help, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'd be glad to help you.

The monk parakeet or quaker parrot is a nuisance in states because they destroy crops and property but then again in many others it is a very nice pet. Besides being green, it is also available in light blue but the blue phase costs double. The bird makes a nice pet as long as it gets suitable attention but as soon as it doesn't, has a tendency to pluck it's feathers. Even if paid enough attention, at adulthood, without a mate, the plucking may continue anyway.
Quakers are best purchased already handfed from a known petshop, fed a pelleted diet along with a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. They especially like to hull peas and corn. Some quakers like the security of a bird tent to hide in. These tents are available on line and in pet stores. This little tent will cut lots of needless squawking. Quakers love water and will take a shower with you anytime. The shower is good for the feathers too. Not a good idea to house two quakers together as pets if you want them to stay friendly, even if the same sex. The female generally lays eggs at about 5 years of age. Females tend to be larger but this is not always 100% true. When quakers are moved from a sunny environment or a location with a lot of activity to a dull environment, they will pluck feathers, squawk loudly,destroy all the objects in the cage or constantly strive to get out of the cage. These are very smart little parrots and tend to favor one individual. They will typically attack other members of the household. This bird is not difficult to please with toys. Just make sure everything placed in the cage can be safely chewed up because that is eventually what is going to happen to everything, including the food dish. If worked with from a young age, quakers can be good talkers and endearing pets. This is not a good pet for a child under 12 years old. Check state regulations before aquiring one because it is illegal to even pass through some states with one. Quaker parrot cage requirements are the same or a little larger than cockatiels. Quakers also like to preen their human.

My quaker, hates toys! He will play with a spoon and crumbled up paper, but heaven forbid if he sees a toy. They eat just about whatever you are eating. Obviously not to much though. Pellets are always best, and of course fruits and vegetable. Mine love pasta noodles and popcorn. He also loves chicken. Try going to www.beakappetit.com and ording some things from there. Mojo loves the cheese teaser cup. Also, there are many sights on how to make birdie bread and muffins. Its all very inexpensive and easy to make, plus they love it! Just remember, each bird is different and may like different things from the next.

I even have had all 3 forms of birds. in case you have hypersensitive reactions, don't get a cocktiel by way of fact they're dusty birds and could spark off your hypersensitive reactions. Quakers are my absolute renowned. they have "large fowl" physique of recommendations in a small physique and are large pets. in addition they have large talking potential and have been listed in the suitable ten of all birds while it consists of talking potential. notwithstanding, on no account purchase a fowl given which you want it t communicate, as some birds do and a few in simple terms do no longer. I had a greencheek as quickly as formerly, and that they are relaxing birds and characteristic sturdy personalities as nicely. one element to renowned with greencheeks is they're hassle-loose to "latch on" while they chew, in comparison to different birds who up nip and enable flow. regardless of the undeniable fact that, each and each guy or woman fowl is diverse and guidance can resolve maximum themes. a lot of people say that quakers are louder than greencheeks, yet i think of they're with reference to the comparable, no genuine distinction. additionally, greencheeks are no longer large talkers yet could mimic some enjoyed ones noises and such. while it comes right down to it, choose for a fowl which you like and that has a sturdy character!

Fun toy ideas for your pets!
Your birds love colorful things they can chew on and here is how you do it.
Next time you are shopping at the store pick up several different colors of unsweetened kool-aid, swing by the dime store & get some 1 to 1 1/2 in cotton rope, some stainless steel kabob skewers, unfinished hardwood craft pieces, tongue depressors, colorful but unpainted acrylic shapes.
mix kool-aid in several small containers as you would color eggs for Easter. Use about 2/3 cup warm water to a package of kool-aid (no sugar of course) Make this mess on plastic placed on your working surface as this mixture will stain ANYTHING. Have paper towels close to soak up accidents. Roll the wood pieces around in the colors of choice and lay them on plastic to dry for 24 hours. You can speed this by using a hair dryer to finish the cycle but you should let it soak into the wood at least over night as drying too fast will only leave you with surface color that will be chewed off in no time. (NEVER, use dye that can poison your bird! and NEVER EVER leave rope toys in your pets cage unattended!! please.)
I have been told too many times of birds having rope toys that have been in the cage for years and years then one day, you come home and your parrot has been hung to death. It just happens.
drill holes through the center of the colored wood blocks and run a skewer through it. Snip the sharp end off the skewer and bend it up through some rope, tie the rope into a very, very tight knot to avoid entanglement.

Foods: parcooked peas, corn, pea pods, oatmeal, Gerber starter soups for babies(toddler). granola, apples, banana.cut into very small pieces Mix fruits and veggies with seeds, be sure to remove any left overs after 6 hours.

NO CHOCOLATE, AVACADO, APPLE SEEDS, or ICE CREAM
chocolate and avacado equal certain death! Ice cream is just plain bad from the sugars & fats to the temperature. apple seeds contain arsnic(spelling)
