[@flcutie315]

[@ParrotBliss]

3! A little loud, but I love them so far!

[@peppytheecky1703]

I'm gonna try this out. I'll have my White Fronted Amazon hang out with all day tomorrow right next to me and on my shoulder.

What a PERFECT video for me right now! After following you for a year, and researching, we finally adopted our first bird 4 days ago, a 4 month old green opaline Quaker we named Meeka!

[@ParrotBliss]

Lol! Are you loving Meeka? Thanks for watching and I’m so glad this is helping!

[@MyBentleyBoo]

Good luck lol

You are the bessssttttttt Kalyn 😘🥰

Oh thanks! You and Quattro are too!

So I have been doing it right 😮 I’ve just been sharing my space with my Grey who was given to me 1 1/2 years ago. This week was the first time she stepped up on her own. I kept my hand at a short distance away from her yet she came to me!

[@ParrotBliss]

That’s awesome! Isn’t it wonderful when you connect?

[@grannysharp772]

@@ParrotBliss It sure is. It took her a few months just to come out of her cage since she sat in a small one for 23 years without toys. She has settled in with the flock and my routine like I’ve had her for years. She’ll even go to bed when I turn off the lights to the budgie cages. Then she tries to shut the cage door. Her understanding of English is amazing too. I look forward to our petting sessions each morning. I’ve been putting my had close to her. Moving it around. Opening and closing it. Pointing my finger at her and saying tickle tickle tickle. That move there gets her dancing and shaking her tail feathers. So cute.

That's wonderful! Your patience is paying off!!

@@grannysharp772 Awesome- she sounds wonderful and you are doing so well with her!

[@grannysharp772]

@@ParrotBliss Just doing what you are doing without realizing that was a pretty good way. Thank you~!

[@francetouchette3658]

Hi kalyn I know you are working very hard at taming your babies and it REALLY shows believe you me 🙏🏽😇

[@ParrotBliss]

Thanks France! They are so fun to watch and be with!

That’s what I did with the AG I fostered. He could talk but I was told he wasn’t tame . In fact I was cautioned he was mean. I opened his cage and let him go in and out at will. Over time he became less cautious and curious about us. It took a while but he did become nice enough to step up and ask for scritches. I only really use target training with difficult behaviors. (Ivar😂). I loved watching your babies bonding.💕💕💕

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, it makes it so easy! Ahhhh- an AG that wants to step up! The baby I fed was like that! Zeus, bless us both, scares me. I wonder how many years it will take him to tame me! Lol

[@StinkyF]

Do you think that it’s beneficial and or necessary to have multiple birds?

[@ParrotBliss]

I do-

[@MrSscholes]

Hi there , I have a lemon quaker come on the 26 Jan hand reared 3 months old , it is used to other birds , he is silly tame , I'm hopeing he bonds with me , I do have to hand reared tame cockatiel to , I'm hopeing they will get along in my bird room and out and about in the end .

[@ParrotBliss]

With time, I would guess they will. Be careful though, Cockatiels are too sweet and sometimes other birds will hurt them. Congratulations on the new Quaker!

Im writing this comment with a heavy heart, im completely devestated my poor baby chubby, my indian ringneck passed away at just 9 weeks old, exactly 8 days after i bought him from the pet store. I had a necropsy performed and it suggested he had a respiratory infection from before i bought him. I loved him so much and he loved me too, i was on the phone arguing with the shop owner and ended up getting a replacement quacker parrot this one isnt hand raised like the IRN i had before which i was Hand rearing, hes 12 weeks old at the moment and very fiesty and aggresive. Im going to give him 2 weeks alone in his cage to aclimate with his new home before i start taming him, any tips would be appreciated, his bites are very strong and hurt more than my parrotlets. I love this guy too and just hope he will give me a chance to be his lifelong friend.

[@ParrotBliss]

Keeping him alone in his cage will teach him to be lonely and probably bite more. It is not teaching him companionship and connection. Please re-consider. I'm sorry for your experience. Losing your IRN - what a heart-breaking experience. I'm sure your Quaker will be great. He or she will get past the biting. I have videos on biting and bonding, I hope you watch and that they help you. What did you name your Quaker? Quakers can be very affectionate, so you have a lot of love to look forward to!

[@blueberryquakerparrot]

I might move out of the country and even though my father is #1 in my parrot’s heart ♥️ I spend the most time with Blueberry so I’m seriously debating if I should get a second quaker so Blueberry doesn’t end up depressed 😩 On a different note, your video is hilarious. Goes to show quakers don’t stay still like a parrot on a pirate’s shoulder lol My quaker always needs to be doing something 😅 usually wants to lick the bottom of my nose or check out earrings

[@ParrotBliss]

You know I’ve got more than 1- they will have to get to know each other, but whether you move or not, any time you aren’t home they can keep each other company. Quakers are playful! I rarely wear earrings! Lol

[@supersunnyiscool]

My Quaker is tamed but he’s a jerk sometimes. He will be so sweet and preening my mom and I before running up the shoulder and bitting us. He gets too big for his britches so to speak hahaha Any tips to help with that?

[@ParrotBliss]

Will work on a vid for you
