Temperament
Quaker Parakeets are very confident and social birds. They love to interact with their “flock” and are known worldwide for their exceptional talking ability. In captivity, they tend to bond very closely with one person and are known for their loyal nature. Most hand-fed Quaker Parakeets are pretty gentle, and many make beautiful pets for younger bird owners.
Quaker parrots are very social animals who always want to be the life of the party. They are known to charm people with their playful and curious personalities. They are very social and rely on having a relationship with their owner (or other Quakers if you have a pair or group) to be happy. In your time spent together, the relationship between you and your bird will evolve far past “pet parrot” to become a “companion parrot.” Quaker parrots are beautiful talkers and are capable of learning most words and phrases if raised solo. They can be trained with positive reinforcement using treats as a reward (Pisces recommends: Higgins Sunburst Fruit to Nuts). The strange worbles and quakes that a quaker parrot emits are very unique. They can echo through your home when excited or seeking attention. Quakers are very intelligent for their size and are subject to behavioral problems if not properly trained. Compared to other parrots, Quakers can be overly affectionate and very tame if properly hand-raised.
Quaker Parakeet As A Pet
Quaker Parakeets are highly intelligent, social birds. Those kept as pets routinely develop large vocabularies. They can learn scores of words and phrases. This species is considered especially adept at learning. They are cheerful, happy, active birds and are very vocal by nature.

When kept in a one-Quaker home, Quaker’s bond to one person can be very protective of this person. They are generally thought to be the best talkers of the “smaller parrots.
How to Feed a Quaker Parrot
If you have a Quaker parrot, you should make an effort to feed it a well-balanced and varied diet. Quakers love a variety of foods, and feeding a varied diet is necessary for the bird to get all of the nutrients it needs. Feed your bird a mixture of pellets, seed, fruits, vegetables, and other fresh foods. If you give your bird these foods and make sure that they are replenished regularly, your bird will get the diet it needs to remain healthy and happy.
Quaker Parakeet Diet
We recommend feeding a seed/pellet mixture designed for small parrots; Pisces recommends Roudybush California Blend for Medium Parrots. You should supplement your birds’ diet with fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as the occasional small helping of a healthy human treat such as lean meat, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat rice, low-fat cheese, and hard-boiled egg. If your bird refuses to eat fruits & veggies, you may need a supplement to your bird’s drinking water. Talk to a vet about what supplement is right for your bird. Uneaten portions of fruits, veggies, and foods that can expire should be discarded daily. An occasional treat you can give your bird is spray millet, which is highly nutritious and easy to digest but can cause weight gain if overindulged. You must also give your bird access to a cuttlebone that will provide calcium and help your conure keep its beak in tip-top shape! Avoid avocado, iceberg lettuce, corn, or any foods high in fat, salt, caffeine, sugar, or artificial flavors & colors.
Quaker Playtime
Keeping a single parrot (opposed to a pair or group) requires a great deal more of human interaction and stimulation for your parrot. However, a single kept bird will also be much easier to tame! If you have a young quaker, it usually doesn’t take long for them to bond with their new owner. The main concern with parrots is biting, and the sooner this is corrected, the better. When your bird bites down too hard, be sure NOT to respond in a way that would be enjoyable or proactive to your bird (such as pulling away and/or making noise). The best way to correct this behavior is to divert the beak to an appropriate toy or simply leave your bird completely alone for 5-10 minutes. Foraging toys are great and promote your birds’ natural instinct to forge (Pisces recommends: HARI Bamboo Ring Abacus). Ideally, you should be able to provide your bird with 2 -3 hours of supervised playtime outside of its cage. Quakers like consistency! If you spend most of your time out of the house or have an irregular schedule, a quaker may not be suitable for you.
