Description: The overall color of the Quaker is green, with pale grey on the forehead, cheeks, throat and extending down to the chest. On the chest, the grey feathers are white-tipped, giving a scalloped effect. Some blue can be found in the tail and flight feathers. The eyes are a dark brown, and the bill is horn colored.
Temperament: Quakers are intelligent, comical and engaging birds. They have a wonderful zest for life that I find contagious. Their personalities are always "on", and they never seem to wake up on the wrong side of the perch, so to speak.
Talking Ability: Quakers have an amazing capacity to imitate both sounds and human speech.
Noise Level: Most Quaker Parakeets are very vocal. I'm sure there are very few Quaker owners who consider them quiet birds. My Quakers can entertain themselves for hours practicing their chirps, whistles and human vocalizations. The level of these vocalizations, for the most part, is moderate and is not disturbing to me or my neighbors. In fact, I really enjoy listening to their chatter.
Cage Requirements: 24" wide x 24" high x 48" long.
Interesting Facts: Quakers are the only psiticines who build their own nests. Some love birds fill their nests with twigs, but only the Quakers actually build a complicated structure from scratch. In the wild they usually build large nests at the ends of the highest branches of tall trees. Each pair of birds builds its own separate chamber within the main nest structure, similar to an apartment house. Each chamber consists of three separate areas - an inner living room. a bedroom and a front porch. |
