Beautiful bird. Has yours learned to open that drop down door yet at the top of his cage yet? Mine has and does it right when I am under. lol

 

[Docsoldlady]

Oh it's never really closed up unless we're out of town. He is really good about not getting off the cage when we are gone. He dosen't really play with the "locks". What he does do is spin the little circles and spin and spin and spin then he will go and ring his bell. Usually does this when I am in the kitchen and he wants my attention. Or if it's breakfast time and daddy got coffee first. He is also basket trained.

Hi, cute bird.

 

[le patron]

thats a beautiful quaker you have there

I heard they are smart birds. I think they are found in your state of NH in flocks ?

 

[Docsoldlady]

As for flocks, I actually saw more of them in FL. I have never seen a wild Quaker here not to say they do not exist. I have heard of flocks in NY tho they are considered a pest in PA, and WA they are destroying they are exterminating them because they make their nests (colonies) on telephone poles etc. They are considered a pest in places where there are crops because (like my bugger) they are known to take a bite of something and then go onto something else (hence BRAT!) so the produce rots.

As for age, he was born in 06 but don't know his hatch date. He came from FL even tho I purchased him here in NH. I should look up the info on his band...
Glad to hear there are other kooky quakers. He likes Saturday & Sunday when mommy and daddy are sleeping cause I usually bring him in the bed and let him "crawl under the blanket fort" where it's nice and warm. He chews my sheets, pillows, and PJs or cuddles into my face and falls asleep.

Thanks all, I love him to pcs! I don't know what life would be like without him, even those early Saturday morning wake ups before 7am.

 

[Docsoldlady]

Oh and yes is is very smart! He says tons of words I can't even count anymore...some of which I do not want to mention. He responds to questions, and he knows when it is breakfast time, night night time, and hates when it's time for mommy to go to work. He has the typical Quaker'tude but isn't cage possessive like I hear most are. He has a basket he gets to "go for rides" on and in general spend time with the family. It is so much easiler to throw a paper towel in the bottom and remove it and replace with a clean one. He will actually bite me if he has to poop and I don't put him back on the basket in time. Little ham!

Can you tell I love my fiddo?

 

[Louie]

Yes lots flocks around here but when I lived in Long Island NY we also had them there . The more the better as far as I am concerned .

Some use traps to catch them and sell them thus all the ads in bird sites/craigs list of non tame Quaker's for sale from this state.
IMO HUGE mistake to buy wild adult will never be 1/100th as tame as yours.

They are loud but lots personality and I find them smart .

Have you thought of getting another or similiar size conure,etc ?

I ask as they seem to enjoy each others company.

I allways see them in groups. They are pretty underrated birds.
