Quaker/Monk Parrot/parakeet mating rituals?

Question

I have searched and searched for information on the courting rituals of quaker parrots. Do they have rituals or is there a way to tell if they are about to mate or not? I know that with cockatiels it is very obvious. What about quakers? Any websites with information on breeding would be appreciated

Answer 1

I did some research for you as I also had no idea (and I've bred a few different parrot species). There is a mating ritual. You can read a bit about it here:

Here's a good article about breeding:
