Our Quaker Parrot is the sweetest most lovable bird I have ever seen. he loves my wife and I. he adores coming out of his cage to eat with us each night. And he has several Flight Suits which allow him to go outside with us, as well as shopping, visiting, vacationing, and more! he recently went with us to our local reenactment of the War of 1812. he had a great time! He didn't even panic when they fired cannons near him!
The Flight Suit from avianfashions.com allows him to be with us, but prevents him from escaping, not that he has ever tried! The suits also have a disposable diaper which prevents messes .
We have a friend who has a Quaker .It lives in the same cage with a Sun Conure.
I think you would be well advised to try the Quaker!

Quakers do make good pets. I ran into a man with one, and at an outdoor concert this summer, his wings were clipped, so he was on the man's shoulder. He was one sweet bird. I held out my hand and he came right over. When the music started, he was bopping up and down to the music and having a ball. That bird really loved his owner, and the owner loved that bird. Most states require that their wings be kept clipped because they can live in the wild, and grow into great colonies. They can cause damage to crops.

I have 3 quakers in my "flock", they make awesome pets. They are extremely intelligent little birds with an infectious zest for life. They learn very quickly, and have the best personalities. As for getting along with other birds, you never know how they will react. Alot of times, if birds are young and raised together then they can grow together and get along fine. Out of the three I have- none of them get along together. But I do have one that has bonded with my sunday conure- they even share a cage. We bought "Lucky" his own cage when I adopted him. After a few weeks of introducing him to "Pita" (my conure) slowly and not in the same room with the cages, they started to preen each other and want to sit near each other all the time. Then it got to be so at night, lucky would run over to Pita's cage and get right up on his perch next to him. So now if I try to seperate them, they get very upset. So we just let them share the cage (it's a large Macaw cage so they have tons of room).
The only problem you may have with a quaker is they are very demanding of your time! Sometimes ours get a little jealous of each other and the other birds, and they will get a little attitudey. But you will love them, they make me laugh every day. Someone is always doing something or saying something funny. Good luck

I have 2 Quakers (1 a foster at the moment) living with me right now, each in its own cage. They are both very sweet. I actually taught both of them the initial "step up" command, so whoever adopts the foster will already have a partly trained bird.
They like to be out of their cages and as long as their flight feathers are trimmed, they don't climb down except to go inside the cage, they are content to perch all day long, though I never do this unsupervised. They're loving and always seem glad to see me when I step through the door.

Quakers are great pets to have. I have had mine for 3 years now an he is truly a baby to love. I feel you can't go wrong with a Quaker. They are good talkers as well.
