I agree. These guys have a range of human-like behaviors and moods. My 20-year-old QP and I understand each other completely with our moods and feelings. My QP has mellowed out in his old age but still can be a demon sometimes. I'm 68 and we're probably the same age in bird years. my girlfriend and i love him even when he is a demon. Loads of fun when he's nice.

OMG best quaker vid ever. We have FIVE quakers - oldest is now 6 and the leader of the pack. So tired of people going on about their sweet little one that they have had for all of 3 months - they are truly little devils. i train them everyday. I hang with them everyday for at least an hour or two. I care for them as much as I care for my kids - bath, bedtime, regular meals, cleaning 'rooms', changing and updating toys, checking their health, their body/toes and MOST of all, watching over their interactions like they are in daycare ie break up fights, stop bullying, make sure everyone gets food, oh and stopping them from stealing shiny things from around the house. But they love us so much that they fly around the house and outside garden and still come home everyday.

I totally agree with everything you said! My Quaker lived to be 27 years old. She was the sweetest thing & the devil bird! If you spend time with them they can speak quite well. My girl could sing the entire Sesame Street song. Sometimes she would repeat a verse over and over waiting for me to sing. Other times she got angry and squawked if I sang. She was extremely smart, bossy, sweet and mean all in one little bundle. It took me a couple of years to stop trying to pick her up when she gave me several warnings. Oh and if she wasn't ready to be put in her cage, she would fly all over the house to get away......I knew that I would have to put a small towel over her to avoid getting bit if she didn't want to go to the cage. I did love her being part of the family. I still miss her. I will say that it is a commitment and anyone that can't commit to taking care of them for a long time (20-30 years) maybe should not get one.

Hi Fellow Quaker friend Mimis, you rock! Advice, don't apologize for making content, you are helping people, and what you have here is spot on! Good on you! Mr. Otis is my blue QP, and he rocks, and yes he goes through everyone of these with exception of the hissing and wings out one. After years what I have observed is this Mr. Otis will hold a grudge, if you don't spend enough time he gets mad for a bit. And it's up to him as to when he's ready to drop the attitude. At first I used to get upset, now I just give him space and keep trying and then he's fine! So if in doubt, just give him space. One time he was in a mood, so I said ok, I am going to let you be free to experience real flight... He was never out on his own before, but I just knew that we bonded and I wanted him to have a chance to experience the world... And guess what he somehow found his way back after about an hour on his own, and ofcourse me looking like crazy! How he did it was beyond me. Also I won't do it again! Otis Flys free kzread.info6gpveW2OAEg Keep up the GREAT WORK, and I learned that tapping is sign that he's marking his spot, did not know that at all! Appreciate it! Stay strong all!

My quaker parrot is the chillest bird ever. She doesn't ever scream, she almost never shows any aggression. She's only 8 months old and hasn't started talking yet, she might never just because she's not super vocal. When she does a wing lift and tilts forward she wants to be picked up or she'll wave a foot at you to be picked up. She loves the hang out in my jacket all day and will take naps with me. Shes great with new people and isnt scared of any noises. Down sides, she doesn't like toys, so doesnt like the color orange, she doesn't like any sort of citrus, doesn't like most vegetables, wastes most of her food, and she likes to wander on the floor. But she is by far the most perfect bird (for me) that I could ever ask for

Bruno can come to me to kiss, cuddle etc. then he out of nowhere starts biting my hands so hard, I start to question my life choices ;) But he still is not messing with me as much as with others because I am ignoring his attempts to bite me, when my grandma started to show that she is scared every time Bruno comes to her very fast, he started to literally troll her. He was flying on her head, around her, biting her ears and fingers, things he never do to me. And he sometimes is coming to someone, biting ear, and starts laughing. And yes I have to guess what mood Bruno is at this moment, he seems cuddly then bam! bite. I know that he is angry if he sits in the cage for too long or if I am not home for too long. Or if i am trying to take something from him/ change his toys positions. He was absolutely furious when I bought him a new cage and started to move things from the old one. Hahaha yes the head shake :D Looks amazing when they do this. And tapping, Bruno is tapping my shoulder, usually when I am turning water on. Yep Bruno is sometimes hissing jus because. When it comes to the sounds when they are trying to mate with you...yea, it is hard to replicate you just need to hear that :D Sometimes he also is taking toys from me with visible aggression, like angry kid, like 'give me that freaking toy!!!' :D And yea, Bruno tries to mate my arm from time to time, that's when I know I have to back off. And yes I can agree with you on one more thing, when Bruno was a baby he was so sweet I was sure he won't bite me, when he started his puberty, well...:D Also sounds, when he was a baby he wasn't screaming. Now he has sleeping cage and cage dor a day because my parents can't stand his morning screaming at 5 AM :D And i kinda like those sounds.

Man I had a Quaker (Twinkie) when I was a kid. Was a great friend, but learned by trial and error how to handle him. Experienced everything you mentioned in the video. He would go into this attack mode for about 10-15 minutes where he would lift up his wings, start laughing nonstop while climbing/sliding down from his cage, and sprint full speed to me just to climb and attack me 😂. Had it where he would be cuddling with me just to bite the crap outta my face with no warning. Would have to endure the bites while putting him in his cage/house and locking it until he calmed down. They're beautiful maniacs.

Used to pluck and have horrible separation anxiety and was scared to leave his cage. He’s fully recovered, no bald spots, and loves to fly outside. But to my point, rehabbing my cockatoo who’s species has a reputation for being difficult was significantly easier and more pleasant than any time I’ve had to deal with my Quaker.

People's replies are so different from my experience. We adopted our Quaker as about a 2 1/2 year old. He was somewhat bitey when we first took him in, but he got over it. Breeding season tended to be a little rougher. The rest of the year he was snuggly. Loved to sing. I did clip the outer two flight feathers as he had a tendency to fly into things. We also had young children in and out of the house all the time, and I did not want to risk him slipping outside. I do suspect that not being fully flighted may tame some of the random aggression. I realize that upsets some, but I think it is important to work with the individual bird and the living situation. Reepicheep lived until he was almost 29 years. It is very strange without him. I truly can't say I ever saw him bite out of spite or just for fun, other than possibly one time more than 25 years ago.

I've had my quaker for about 15 years and have never heard it explained in words. When people ask me about my quaker I just can't explain it. My timneh and my macaw are no problem to explain to other people, but the quaker I just can't put into words even though I know how to avoid strangers getting their feelings hurt.

Heyyy! I have a Quaker named Rhino, and I saw how you were talking about spring time and there hormone spikes and when they click not to touch them or they will become aggressive. Rhino dosent click, but he goes to the back of his cage, fluffs up, shakes back and forth, and does this weird hissing breathing noise, where you can tell it’s a bit different than hissing. And it’s spring time, so is this what you were talking about with there springtime hormones,Or is this a respiratory health issue?

That sounds like hormones. Mine will do that weird hissing as well. If by chance you are worried they are sick, Check that their appetite doesn’t decrease, their water intake is still normal. There isnt laboured breathing, little activity and oversleeping

I had a Quaker parrot. I did not have very many friends as a kid and Cricket my parrot was my best friend. Quakers can be territorial. Mine would fly down from a lighting fixture and bite people. One day a family friend was over. This friend was rather pompous. Cricket flew down and bit off the mole on her neck. I still miss Cricket.

My Quaker will hiss in my ear too, it’s usually as a form of wooing since he usually tries to make his way to my hand shortly after. I just put him in I’m his cage and let him cool down for a bit lol

Sometimes my Quaker does the tapping thing to our clothes or even to our skin (resulting in bloody cuts), what should I do to discourage this behavior/what does it mean?

Everytime they do this behaviour its properly getting territorial. Give them a stern no, Place them back on their cage, give them a moment to calm down by themselves and then try again. You wont be able to fully get rid of it but at least minimize it to nothing

My Sulphur crested cockatoo passed and ended up rescuing a Quaker parrot. He is neurotic for sure LOL. He's settling and and for the most part decent but ya he is hyper and all over the place. I ended up naming him George Costanza because he looks bald with his gray head. He for sure is a little troll. But way less aggressive than my macaw.

If he moves his head you can make the noise, its only if they make the noise and puff up really big and try to make mating movements where its different.

I have a quaker and a conure. What a big difference! I have tried to understand my quaker, but can't. I spend a few minutes a day one on one training, but he hates hands. Plus, if I have the conure on my hand, the Quaker flies at me and bites me. I just take him as he is and never let him on my shoulder anymore.

@mimisbirdhouse

Жыл бұрын

A few minutes is not enough for training, you need hours with them to bond. Your quaker sounds like he just doesnt trust you, and bringing another bird who he isnt bonded to can post problems. Best to work little a day on taming and bonding and after you gain their trust they can be with you without fear and then you can work with bonding them to your other bird. My channel has videos to help out with all of that ☺️

@@mimisbirdhouse I realize he lost trust somewhere so I just do a bit of work with him daily. The conure was here first and thinks he rules the roost. He chases the Quaker away from his favorite places, including me. I think that has made the Quaker angry and he firebombs my head and tries to RIP out my hair. That has stopped mostly since I started target training and trick training but he still will attack me at times, mostly when I am holding the conure.

Quakers are parrots in need of a lot of attention as they are very social birds. They need many hours of out the cage with interaction and stimulation. Please dont take this rudely, just a personal suggestion that if no one can give the quaker these things id think of rehoming. The bird is desperate for attention and may soon undergo stress where they start plucking out their own feathers

Sounds like your birds are bonded to each other and less to you. I'm considering a quaker parrot, but only one so it will bond with me. I've heard that they can become aggressive if they bond with another bird and not a human. I could be wrong, but I'm watching several videos from different sources on the subject, so I get a broader understanding.

@mimisbirdhouse

My parrots are all super bonded to me and each other as I have interacted and bonded as a flock and community. Frankly, this is just a quaker parrot thing. They can be mean solo or duo. It was mainly one of my qukers. The other one was more bonded to humans, and my sun was more bonded to humans. They all have their personalities. Keep in mind quakers are SUPER clingy so if your gonna get one be prepared to spend majority of your day with them. My birds and I all hang out together, we give each other kisses and attention, they see me as part of their flock and thats the goal ☺️
