The Ins and Outs of Quaker Parrots

Watch me preen Reno the 22 year old Quaker parrot while we talk about this species!

[@JUMALATION1]

The feather sheath breaking was oddly satisfying 🪶

[@geckoemmy]

Love it!

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

i definitely zoned out about 1/4 thru the vid this is one of the best pin feather preening ive ever seen in my life. I can literally feel my throat itching from all those bird crumbs...

[@InevitableUniverse]

?????

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

@@InevitableUniverse LMFAO. my birds are really dusty so it irritates my nose like when your allergies are really bad

[@janew7008]

​@@bigbirdbirdbird okay. Question. What's she doing? Clueless newbie to bird stuff.

[@elusive4557]

​@@janew7008Preening pin feathers. Pin feathers are itchy feathers that come in durin a molt, and most parrots cant reach the ones on their heads

[@geckoemmy]

Glad you enjoyed it! I Preening is one of my favorite things to do and I will be posting more videos

[@zillafanz]

Quakers are also among the best talkers and smartest parrots in the world.

[@meg4458]

You are correct! They are top 5. Near the bottom but still one of the best.

[@arienfarghi7107]

[@BirdsTV4U]

@Jo-eh7ux hi Jo I'm already your subscriber 😊.I really like your green quaker parrot.

[@kepler180]

@@Jo-eh7ux very well. he's going through mood issues right now and he doesn't like my parents. in the past he was usually friendly to anybody.

I got my Quaker parrot about a year and a half ago. I think he just turned two; I was set on getting a ringneck at first originally; But I chose him instead bc he was the last of 3 who were having trouble finding homes and he was already 4 months old so the breeder gave me to him for a discounted price. I am very very happy with my little Ollie. I want to keep birds for life, I would recommend Quaker parrots to anyone who wants a bird. Even children who are responsible. They have amazing temperaments, very smart and very sweet. I don’t know if I lucked out with mine as far as temperament goes or if I just raised him well. I love him so much. But they are for sure not an impulse purchase and people need to really really be aware of how long they live.

I had a Quaker in my early 20s and was not prepared. It was so bitey all the time. It never let me pet or touch, for the longest time I didn’t even think it liked me. It would wake me up in the morning by hopping out of its cage and biting my earrings out. The first time I realized it was cool with me was I started having company over and it would fly around this huge room but it would only land on my shoulder. Then immediately bite me.

[@NikitaLP]

Such a patient Quaker !!

[@thebirdblog7854]

I’ve had a Quaker for 13 years and just recently bought another! They have so much personality and are very entertaining. Unfortunately, the older one only likes me and is known as the “demon bird” to everyone else, but my family and I have figured out a solid routine to keep everyone, including him, happy and safe. Sometimes a little patience goes a long way

[@anjachan]

amazing video. thanx! it´s very important, I agree. Also thanx for helping this lil guy 💚

[@Parrot-Protector]

Just found this channel and love every second. Reno and Rocky are precious and we can’t get enough of them. Just subscribed and can’t wait for more.

Pleased do a longer video

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

They're outlawed in Pennsylvania.

[@FioreCiliegia]

In spain they are called argentina parakeets or corterras

[@FioreCiliegia]

I found an escaped pet outside one time around Judi last summer and kept him for about 2 1/2 weeks before I was able to find him a permanent home with someone who had another rescue of probably about the same age. They’ve been inseparable ever cents, but I have to say I still missed a little guy. He was an obvious escaped pet because within a few minutes of finding him having him poked and prodded by a vet to make sure that he was OK because it’s not normal to pick up a parrot off the ground, he was sitting on my shoulder and trying to premiere, and just being the most cuddly bird I’ve ever met. The downside is he was trying to Prien off several birth marks, and those don’t come off with just soap and water.😂

[@arienfarghi7107]

I have also Quaker and he doesn’t have this problem at all I feel this one so dirty!😖

[@NormalBirdLady]

He's not dirty. He's just 22 years old and doesn't preen as well as he used to. It will happen to your bird, too, if it's blessed with longevity. All long living captive parrots will need help. Especially if kept singly. He is not dirty. He is beautiful. ❤️🐦❤️

[@FioreCiliegia]

It’s natural it’s just something that happens when they molten they can’t always get the feathers on their head to fix them themselves. If you’ve got multiple birds, you’re a lot less likely to see pinfeathers, but all species of birds get them even ducks and chickens.

[@birdhause]

Nice video

[@MelonMuncher4]

hey my bird is scared of taking baths do you have any suggestions on what to do

[@meganfontenot5497]

Do you have those fish that are in your picture?? I hate used to have some like that

[@graceful.wings.1]

Mine has just gotten cage aggressive.

[@Jo-eh7ux]

I also have a green Quaker parrot..he is 7 years old. I have a small Chanel if you would like to see him 😍

[@geckoemmy]

He is absolutely precious!

[@naomigodbolt4591]

What’s is that on him or her

[@theforest8882]

Using your pets for your own entertainment/money is disgusting. You only got the exotic parrot to try and boost your channel, but we all know it has as soon as that parrot dies the channel dies

[@scientificidiot4165]

Are you taking care of pin feathers?

[@janinehiggins1507]

Why do people have to mess with their feathers. I've had parrots all my life.everything from cockatoos to macaws and I've never messed with their feathers if there's been a problem then I've taken them to an avarian vet 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌹🌹🦜🦜

[@JUMALATION1]

It's not messing, it's helping them feeling less itchy. They "fix" their own feathers on their bodies but the neck and head is impossible for them to reach with their beaks

[@cheeseandquackers8342]

Parrots can’t break their own pinfeathers on their head, that’s why they’re touching the feathers

[@bigbirdbirdbird]

unlucky for you to never experience a bonding activity with your pets then

[@helentee9863]

1. This isn't a 'problem', so certainly doesn't require paying out for a vet .(if you took your bird to a vet for pin feathers, they would consider you a fool) 2. The birds enjoy being groomed,and the owners enjoy doing the grooming. It helps develop close emotional bonds. Perhaps you don't bond with your birds, if you don't l feel sorry for them(and you)

[@JovanDacic]

Parrots will groom each other's feathers in difficult to reach areas. It's called "allogrooming" and in the absence of a partner parrot, the parrot's human family can fill that role and help them shed their itchy pinfeather casings.
