I love them both - yet that little quaker has my heart. You can just 'see' he has that little sweet/onery side that I love. Heard your mention of another book! Gonna have to check it out, now.... Hope you're well! :)

[@jojo1828v]

I love love love Emerald. Her voice is so cute! She is talking up a storm to you.

[@ParrotBliss]

She is very sweet 😀

[@macawlovers1964]

Can you do a video on what your daily routine is like with all the birds? Like how they all get rotated out of their cages for time spent out of the cage etc?

[@1hawaii21]

I agree. If I had to pick, I would pick a Hahn’s. I have heard that Quakers can be very nippy and very cage aggressive. I can’t imagine a Hahn’s being louder or noisier than my Caiques.

[@ParrotBliss]

Yeah, based on my experience, if you had a Quaker I would expect you would not find them to be biting or cage aggressive-

[@1hawaii21]

Good to know!😊

[@alexandraward1248]

I would love a Hahn's...

[@ParrotBliss]

A wonderful handful!

[@joellekarma]

This video was very informative. I've told about Drago before. I was always told to give him pellet and never seeds so I haven't I do give him vegies and fruits some timed a little bread. As I watched you video I gave him some seeds he ate them out of my hand, He loves me but some day he just wants on his cage to play with his toys. When I rescued him he was bald from barbering all the time. He is no longer bald but over the years of barbering his feather have bald spots and grow funny. I give him milk thistle/dandelion oil. for his liver. He seams to love the sunflower seeds. I so enjoy your shows. Drago was screaming at the screen when Emerald talked. Drago wants to kill all my other birds so he can.t be near them.

[@ParrotBliss]

Give him walnuts if he has liver issues- thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Just a couple walnuts a day is great!

[@iSheree]

My quaker is an angel, she is very quiet until bedtime. :P

[@ParrotBliss]

You are lucky! That’s awesome!

[@iSheree]

@@ParrotBliss I am! But my Indian Ringneck can be really loud at times! My green cheek is only loud when something scares her. I had a sun conure and the loudness level beats all my past and present birbs. XD

[@skyrunnernl]

Bedankt

[@Dr.Gav92]

May I ask what the average lifespan of a Hahns Macaw is?

[@ParrotBliss]

I believe it to be lower than the info online

[@siegfreidx1633]

Hanhs macaw is ssoooooo cuteee!

[@ParrotBliss]

One of my favorites!

[@Anne-oi6gi]

My male macaw is a rescue. December I will have him for 2 years. He is my heart and he rules the house. Like you say, he is my baby, needy and some days clingy. Yes, he can be very loud when he wants to.

[@ParrotBliss]

Macaws are amazing. What species do you have? Name?

[@Anne-oi6gi]

@@ParrotBliss He is a Hahn's Macaw and I named him Appel (Apple in English). He was dumped at a local breeder and he couldn't tell me his name.

[@ParrotBliss]

@@Anne-oi6gi Aren’t Hahn’s wonderful?

[@Anne-oi6gi]

@@ParrotBliss Yes they are. It is the very first bird I ever owned. I got my "macaw" that is not too big that it intimidates me and it is not too small that it scares me too much to take care of it. Story: My best friend have several species and A LOT of birds. I was visiting her and she wanted to find out about scarlet macaws. I googled for her and below the article was photos of other macaw species and I saw a photo of this little green macaw. I (who at the time has never owned a bird in her life) looked at my friend and said "I want this bird" I fell in love instantly and after even more in love the more I learned and found out about them.

[@ParrotBliss]

@@Anne-oi6gi That’s a great story! Consider getting a 2nd so your Hahn’s stays happy and as emotionally healthy as possible

[@emilymarthin3254]

I had two Quaker’s when I was a kid. Loved them dearly, but they are definitely sassy little toddlers lol😂 My husband and I are considering getting a hahns or a green cheek. Both seem to be a good “starter” birds. I am amazed at how similar hahns and Quaker’s are 😮 I know green cheeks seem to do better by themselves, rather than being paired or having a friend, but do I really need another bird or another hahns if i do decide to go with a hahns? And do hahns like and bond with all family members? I was considering either a green cheek or hahns because I’ve heard they are great with kids and other family members if you work with them frequently. I know both the GC and Hahns are different when it to wanting attention and being boisterous, but I don’t mind! Anyway, just discovered your channel it’s been fun and informative!

[@ParrotBliss]

I’ll make a video response 😀

[@squaretriangle9208]

They are all phenomenal, so beautiful colours and so interested in you, but I would be overwhelmed whereas Ale in the background, so sweet and unintrusive

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, each parrot creates a lifestyle based on their needs and behaviors

[@ezkimo2011]

Do they get along with each other? Thinking of getting a quaker to keep the hahns company.

[@ParrotBliss]

They don't fight, but they haven't befriended each other. They both were in a home with no other birds, so they don't know how to relate with another bird, which is terribly sad- they don't know how to have the companionship they crave from another bird, only from a human.

[@Mamarockbronson]

Hey! Do you mind looking at the short i made of my pineapple conure it would be amazing.

[@tirunagariuttam]

Do you suggest to get egg and hatch it at home or getting a bird from store. Also if you can make a video on how to feed and take care of a just hatched bird, would be great

[@ParrotBliss]

My avian vet has seen a lot of eggs hatch and be something else. I do not reccommend it. Feeding a newbord is challenging- super! You have to know when and what to feed them, they are not the same as a 1 day old or older baby. You will be so much happier getting a bird from a store or breeder! I promise!

[@liezlvanniekerk2527]

Hi! How do you know what the best way is to start your flock? I recently lost my sweet Cape parrot boy😢 I love parrots and have worked with a few different species. I am looking to start again and would love to get a Cape again. There are a few other species that I would also love to have and I am trying to think what would be the best way to bould up my flock? I also had a very close relationship with my Cape and would love to have the same with my new bird. Thank you!!

[@ParrotBliss]

Oh! What happend to your Cape? I'm sorry for your loss :( As you probably know, I LOVE Cape parrots- I'll make a video response as soon as I can. How long did you have your Cape parrot for?

[@Matthew-zp3iz]

I have 2 quakers... no Hahn's in China. I agree they bond very well. My boy quaker never bites and he is very cute. The only issue is that the boy quaker keeps chewing on my neck and it's painful. I take him off when he does it but he keeps coming back. I've tried wearing a scarf but he digs under it. The quakers get on well with my GCCs (but they don't share a cage as the GCCs are moody)

[@ParrotBliss]

My Quaker does the same, picking my neck for attention- do your Quakers and GCC get along?

[@Matthew-zp3iz]

@@ParrotBliss Yes they generally get on well, though one GCC is moody as hell and sometimes becomes aggressive with my male quaker... I don't know the gender of either of my 2 GCCs but they get on very well with the female quaker; they mutually preen. Here in China only lovebirds, cockatiels, a few spp. of Pyrrhura conures and quakers are legal

[@user-qn1lz8lk3r]

I got a hahns macaw n I want t know t do t make it talk

[@ParrotBliss]

It takes time. Babies don't talk, keep talking to your Hahn's. It will need to be between almost a year or more before it starts.

[@azbirdie55]

How much do you sell a male baby. Cuddle bunny?

[@azbirdie55]

I had a quaker. I had to be in the hospital for a week and when I came home Blu went wild. He bit me. He even chased me to bite me.

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, they get upset when we are gone. Generally they get passed it, I hope he did.
