How do I get my Quaker parrot to trust me?
To gain a quaker parrot’s trust, spend time around the cage to get the bird used to your presence. Then, start interacting with the bird gently and slowly, placing your hand in the cage for short periods of time, eventually leading up to offering treats out of your hand.
How do I know if my Quaker parrot is happy?
When happy, your parrot will wag its tail, flap its wings, or fluff its feathers to feel comfy. Quaker parrots do speak but reserve their vocalizations for little chatters and whistles. If you’re used to the loud calls of a macaw, or the constant activity of a budgie, this will seem tame by comparison.
