What to expect the first day you bring a bird home

Hello everyone back with another video! We have a new little addition to our family, a beautiful baby boy Quaker parrot named Kiwi! We got him when he was 4 months old and honestly, I had forgotten what it was like to bring home a new bird. I also have never owned a baby bird only rescues so this has been all new to me and I have learned a lot! If you are wondering what to look forward to and things that will happen this video should cover the basics.

I just brought my Quaker Parrot at home last night. He is an absolute cuddlebug. He was eating drinking snuggling day one. I've never seen a bird so comfortable around people he's never met.

I got a baby Quaker 3 days ago. I was searching for info on youtube and found your wonderful video! On the second day I was holding some millet and talking to her in her cage. She decided she was ready to jump out and did pretty good job of perching on my hand. She is still kind of clumsy. She gets so excited she shakes. I guess that’s why they are called Quakers. She is so sweet. I’m trying to make sure other family members hold her during the day at least for a few minutes. I am hoping this will help make her more social. I hope she continues to be sweet. It was worth it to me to pay a little extra to get a hand raised baby rather than a parent raised one. I am so happy with her. Thank you again for making the video. I was worried when I brought her home the first day and she didn’t eat. But now she loves her pellets and nibbles at the veggies I tried feeding her this morning!!

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Ahh this makes me so happy to read 😊 !

"it's gonna be like having a clingy little baby that follows you everywhere." - Oh no!...

Thank you for sharing with us this valuable knowledge, I watch with utmost interest and enjoyment! 🧡

[@yvonnecamacho9773]

Thank you… you don’t know how blessed you are to have Kiwi. Quakers are all love. They cling to you like their family. Prepare to just love them regardless of the mood they’re in..you’re theirs just as much as they’re yours. I had one who was 1 month old when I got him…a hurricane rescue. He passed away 29 years later. I will never replace him. He was a gift of love,forever.

[@katherinepierce78]

I brought home two Quaker parrots on Monday. We had lost our 15 year old to vet error! So we have 2 babies at almost 8 months old and They never had human handling and they can’t even step up. They love hanging out with me and squawk when I leave the room. We are going to keep them clipped for the winter. I did teach one to kiss and then the next time the other jumped in. They don’t talk and they never want to be handled. I pick them up after several step up commands. You are lucky to have such a chatty bird. I can’t wait to get mine to sing and talk with me. Mine was very smart and said what he wanted! She was a free flyer and sat on the deck railing and she would fly to the blue berry bush pick one and back to the railing to eat it ! She even went to the nursing home with me and rode around on her favorite grandpa’s shoulder until bedtime and then grandpa finished his visits to all the residents and he then put her to bed and covered the cage I traveled with and picked her up after my shift and I brought her home and this was a daily routine. We all loved her. We waited a year to get a new quaker and had such a hard time getting one because of the pandemic. My husbands took me to Hampton beach in New Hampshire and I saw a Petco and checked online for a Quaker. Sure enough I called and their quarantine and vet exam was on the Tuesday so we fell in love with them and we went back and got them both! 🦜🦜😇siblings. Hatched January 15 and 16. I’m sorry I’m so chatty with excitement and I have questions for you. Will they mate if they are siblings and a male and female? One is fatter and not as friendly. I call them Frankie and Johnny! I can’t wait to get them sexed and start the potty training. I have already ordered the perch for a small table so they can poop there. I realize that they are behind because of the lack of contact with the people who had them. They also were parent fed and no human contact. Sad but I think maybe it had to do with COVID-19 during this year. Okay where do I start? They eat good seed and seed balls. We are crushing veggies and we are feeding them daily with fresh fruit as well. Any help with anything? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Hi so I wouldnt recommend clipping them, this does not create trust it causes them to be insecure and untrusting. If you truly want to tame them and bond properly allow them to fly. Their diet should be pellets, fresh vegetables everyday, and seeds should only be used as treats. Since they are siblings i doubt they will reproduce as birds look for expanding their gene pool so their offspring are stronger, but because they are the only birds around each other, just in case during nesting season and when they hit puberty if they try to court each other just seperate them for the time being until the season passes.

[@Nika44]

I came back to this video, because I brought the quaker to home today. He eat something, drank tiny bit of water, he is not scared of hands, but the whole day he was puffed up so I kinda freaked out that he might feel unwell - I was laughing at parents that are freaking out when they look at their babies for few first days, now I am like that ;) He is a little bit clumsy, he can climb and jump, but just have to know his new environment. He was actually very vocal for his first day, he was responding for my talking, he was screaming a little, not like hysterical scream, just normal. But I am still nervous since it is his first night at my house. I had young budgies before, but they are so different from quakers !!! Plus i never had hand fed bird before. Fun fact: Hunter the Quaker screamed at a cat that was walking near by :D

I have done alot of research personally I would say if you have the time just sit in the same room with the door to the cage open with some treats you and your bird can eat and let them make the move of course offer some in a bowl but just take your time your priority should be establishing that your not a threat and you are safe and giving food helps

[@pplicker4462]

I'm getting a three week old cockatiel this Sunday. My first bird was a sun conure, Mango. He was the sweetest bird ever, very cuddly and silly. Unfortunately, the worst thing happened. I was at my brother's house, and when I came back, my dad was sobbing (he also was bonded with my conure). I asked what happened, confused, bc I never saw him cry before. My mom told me that Mango has passed. I was beyond confused, because we treated the bird like gold. Spent hours every day with him, fed him fresh foods, buy him plenty of toys, we did everything to ensure his happiness. He didn't exhibit any health issues (but I learned that birds dont show signs of illness) and it all happened so fast. The story my parents told me was that he was sitting on the arm rest of my dad's chair, (which is usual) and randomly he just fell. He didnt flap his wings or even try to save his fall or help his landing. It was like he just given up. Note, the day before he was perfectly fine. BTW he was barely over 1 year old. This happened a couple days after Thanksgiving in 2018. I felt terrible trying to think what we did wrong, but we really thought we did right by the bird. We bought the bird from a specialized bird store, but there's always a possibility the bird could've had a disease we were unaware of. I won't let the same thing happen to the cockatiel, I will find a specialized bird vet in my area for check ups. Anyway, I'm very excited, I miss having a parrot. They're lovely companions.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Im so so sorry to hear that 😔 Kiwi, in this video passed recently. The vet said it was a fluke and it shouldnt have been possible for his death, so I understand that feeling of wha did I do wrong? I gave him the world. I still have my sun conure also name mango and my other quaker Luza, and im so so tentative of every tiny thing. I love having parrots as well, such special companions. I truly wish the best for your new tiel (i used to have a rescue tiel and they are honestly my favourite species). I wish you guys a long happy life. Please let me know if you need anything, any help or advice 🙏🏼

[@pplicker4462]

@mimisbirdhouse Thank you so much! I'm sorry as well. That really sucks.😔 Kiwi was such an adorable bird. Unfortunately, birds are so complicated, and detecting illnesses are so difficult. I hope the best for your other birds. I have a couple of questions since you mentioned you had a cockatiel. How would you compare it to your conure? Was it quieter? Did it enjoy being handled? Would it sing? The one I'm getting is a male and I heard they sing more than females.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

@@pplicker4462 males to tend to be more vocal. Mine was a female. They are the quietest of parrots. Not to say they arnt loud but in comparison they are quiet 😂 they are sleepy birds, very mellowed down and kind in nature. They can be sassy but so gentle. Conures are cuddle addicts and much more hold me 24/7 but they are loud, destructive and way more messy. Especially a sun conure who is tied with cockatoos more loudest parrots 😂 Cockatiels do best with other cockatiels because they are so gentle and kind. Other combinations usually end up hurting or bullying the cockatiel

[@pplicker4462]

@mimisbirdhouse oh okay, sounds good to me. I'll appreciate the singing and not loud squawking, lol. Thanks for the info. :)

[@MareRS357]

I think it’s better to get a baby bird that is very young for bonding. I had a parrot that was only five weeks old and we gave it baby formula. They do not talk to begin with are very quiet. You have to feed them every 4 hours. They can not stand on a branch yet. I suggest a book on Quaker Parrot. Beautiful lovely birds that talk a lot. You can train them to speak. These birds need a lot of attention they get lonely. We had our bird for seventeen years.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

I dont think age ever has anything to do with bonding. We have a rescue quaker who is 4 years old and she is more attached and bonded than my other two. My sun conure was formula fed had her since 2 months old, hates physical touch, prefers to be left alone. Its all personality based. Yes quakers are lovely birds but very difficult with their mood swings and difficult to read body language. While they CAN learn to talk it does not mean they will. My second quaker is bilingual, sings, talks everything and my other one says maybe 4 words at most

how old was kiwi when you got him? Im getting a 2 month old quaker parrot. i already have a 3 year old green cheek conure. i have a few questions, 1. How should i introduce them, i have read alot about how to do it, but i like hearing other peoples opions. 2. How many toys and perches should i put in his cage, and how far apart should they be. he will have a 30'' x 22'' x 63'' sized cage. 3. How well will his balance be? 4. what age will he start to try to fly. ---- thats all, hope you see this and answer my questions :)

[@mimisbirdhouse]

kiwi was 4 months old which is usually the age a bird is fully weaned. Thats great mix though since quaker and conures pair really well together. Make sure they each have their own separate cage, food, space, and toys. You can let them out together but make sure you are constantly there to watch them. They will become curious and approach each other on their own. Just always watch over them so incase maybe they fight but hopefully they get along! Quakers are super bity so make sure to get a lot of toys that are for destroying and biting. They really love loopy ropes and love to climb more than fly. Have perches inside and outside the cage for them to exercise. His balance at first will be awful 😂 he will be super clutzy tripping over things and he may not even know how to climb properly. You gotta monitor babies like crazy! Cause they will fall over a lot. SO just be there to catch them and help them as they learn 😊 Kiwi started to try and fly at his 4 months old. He was really bad at it. Always landed on the ground. But he learnt super fast maybe like 2 weeks how to land properly. Again if they spontaneously take off just make sure you don't have anything they can get hurt with!

Usually its not professional to sell an unweaned bird to someone who doesnt have experience in it. Formula feeding is not easy! Though im glad they are willing to take him back and continue to raise him. Usually cockatiels are fully weaned and ready to go to homes at 4 months old. Is he still going to be your bird though?

Do you know if you can put a untrained cockatiel in the same cage of a trained cockatiel at once?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

always keep them in seperate cages unless they are bonded as mates

[@MoneyMakerrr]

got mine 2 days ago, he ate millet out of my hand already and doesn’t mind or gets scared when i change the food or water. it chatters real quietly and only chirped out loud 4-5 times so far. i think it’s also breathing heavy when i come around. at night i haven’t seen him sleep yet it’s 2:21 am while i’m typing this and hes still awake with me. i have a blanket over his cage aswell

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Thats great that he ate and is chatting. The sleep is a concern. Are you making sure there is no sound like videos or music playing next to them, even if the blanket is over their cage you should turn the light off and leave the room they are in. They can sense when you are around and will be on alert. Try leaving the room they may sleep through the night then. It could also be that they are awake because its a new place and they dont feel secure enough to sleep and let their guard down. Make sure their cage is in a high place

[@MoneyMakerrr]

@@mimisbirdhouse yes the cage is higher then me when i stand up it’s eye level with me. there are hardly barely sounds. he was up with me until 3am making squeaking noises almost like a mouse. he hasn’t been chirping too. but i did call the vet and they told me it could be that he isn’t used to the environment yet so give him 2-3 more days then bring him in if it continues.

[@mimisbirdhouse]

@@MoneyMakerrr yes what the vet said sounds about right. Not much more advice I can give but I do hope it resolves and he gets comfortable ☺️

[@MoneyMakerrr]

@@mimisbirdhouse thank you for responding, and also 1 more question how should the sleep routine be? what time should i put him “in bed” and how should i do it ?? should i use blankets? should i put him in a room by his self? etc

[@mimisbirdhouse]

@@MoneyMakerrr i find that 8am-8pm or 9am-9pm are good times. Though they usually follow the sunset and sunrise, a ratio of 12:12 is a safe bet until you learn their sleeping habits and schedule. I usually just turn the lights off where they sleep but its a good idea to cover the cage with a blanket to keep them warm and keep any light from waking them ☺️

Hi! I also recently brought home a baby quaker. Did you have problems with him biting? Mine loves to chew so seems to think that my fingers are something to chew. Do you have any advice?

[@mimisbirdhouse]

For sure! Baby parrots love to chew on everything. This starts to subside around a year old. Get them lots of chew toys for birds, things they can destroy that are safe for them. Even a cuttle bone is great to chew and grind their beak., Other than that it's just waiting it out.

I just wanna know when is the right moment or time to open thr cage and let it fly around the room or when is the right time to feed her from ur hand

[@mimisbirdhouse]

You could honestly open the cage now. Keep them supervised incase they come out but they may just stay inside scared. If you keep it open they may slowly come out. Once they come out on their own and they arnt flying around then offer some food in your hand very gently towards them.

Will it be able to sleep? What does the tent you got look like?maybe that would be a good idea for it, to be able to sleep? Thank you!

[@mimisbirdhouse]

Yes the living room would be good! If you guys still need to work in there while your quaker is trying to sleep then just put a cover over the cage (any dark blanket that blocks out the light will work) i dont recommend the tent i have (i got rid of it) as it is known as a death hut because there are many cases where parrots have ingested loose fibres from there, it got caught in their stomach and obstructed their digestion and needed surgery or died 😔

It’s been a month can u update us

[@VladM02]

Brqni yepp, so this is the update. The next few days after I left the first comment it was the same, it bit me and it was quite aggressive, but I left it for 3 more days and I decided to let it go in the room, the first time I let it it flew in all directions and found his favorite place, the bulapul. Ever since I let him see the change, little by little, we try to take seeds in my palm and give them and point the finger at him and he was no longer aggressive, he was just so scared

[@VladM02]

Brqni so I took it easy with him, I bought him twigs of millet because I read on the internet that it works better and that's how it was, he likes it very, very much. To continue, I let him out and I still leave him, from that day he is free, he flies as much as he wants and enters and leaves the cage when he wants, in the evening he sometimes sleeps outside sometimes inside, but he likes to sleep outside more. Slowly when I was at the computer after 4 days in which I kept him free he started to explore, he comes to me on the monitor after the salt on the desk on the keyboard and so on. I put the twig with my on the table and he would come and eat at my desk. 3 days ago it was the first time he put it on my head although he is still afraid of my hand, but not so bad, he suddenly flew on my head and since then it always comes on my head

[@VladM02]

Brqni About two days ago I made the most progress, I put the twig of millet on the table and when it came to eat I pulled it lightly and put my hand on the edge of the desk and pulled the twig for him to approach, at first he was afraid to put only one leg, I did so a few times, and then I removed the twig even more and it was put with both feet on my toe and I practiced like this every day, the first time I thought I would stay at this stage, but they really started to see progress, already now in two days when I take the twig to the edge of the table he doesn't even think or look he climbs directly without fear on my finger and all this was sitting on my finger and I pulled the twig slightly towards the shoulder and climbed and he, because I want to teach him to sit on my shoulder, but in 3 days if I practice I think I will succeed, I hope this comment helped you, I will make another update in a week to tell you how It is❤️

All parrots can be playful and sweet depending how you raise them :) every parrot can have their own stereotype and personality traits ontop of being playful and sweet. for example, quakers are known to be moody and troll around, conures are cuddly but loud, caique's are hyper active, cockatiels are more sleepy, cockatiels, cockatoos and african greys have a lot of dander so its bad for asthma or allergies, etc. so it all depends on those extra traits you like and can handle :)

Personally I don’t lock my birds in their cage and let them explore and get their energy out. Eventually they will calm down and just chill. First day they may not wanna drink or eat but it’s concerning if this goes on the next day as birds cannot last too long without food or water as they metabolize things much faster.
