Native Region / Natural Habitat

The quaker parakeet is native to Argentina and nearby countries in South America, where it inhabits subtropical areas. The quaker parrot adapts very well to urban landscapes and, as a result, there are numerous feral populations in North American as well as in Europe.

Care & Feeding

Quaker parakeets are voracious chewers and will make fast work of furniture, so provide lots of chewable toys and safe branches to avoid living a bored and unhappy quaker parrot that can easily turn its destructive nature onto valuables.

Wild quakers parrots are quick to nest and build elaborate oven-shaped, many-chambered “pots” out of thousands of twigs woven into sophisticated nests. Quakers are sometimes reluctant to nest in breeding boxes, though they are often bred that way if offered twigs and other substantial nesting material. They lay six to eight eggs, though they are known to lay up to 13 viable eggs in one clutch.

The quaker parakeet is reported to live up to 30 years with the proper care. Lafeber’s foods for parrots offer nutritionally balanced, daily diets.

Personality & Behavior

Possibly the most distinctive behavioral feature of the quaker parakeet comes from its namesake-the quaking and shaking. These birds bob and quake in a way that looks quite abnormal and disturbing, but it is actually a natural behavior exclusive to this bird.

Quaker parrots are social animals and appreciate the company of their humans or other quakers. They can become depress and neurotic if left alone too often.

Speech & Sound

Despite their name, quakers are anything but silent! Someone with noise sensitivity might want to think twice about bringing this bird home. They will wake up the most solid sleeper, and may disturb neighbors. On the positive side, these birds are wonderful talkers, able to learn many words and phrases, especially if kept as a single bird. They are also highly trainable and can learn tricks when properly motivate by food or praise. When hand-raise, quaker parakeets can be as affectionate and as tame as a companion bird can be.

Health & Common Conditions

The most common health problems with the quaker parrots are feather destructive behaviors, such as plucking out feathers, and fatty liver disease, which is associate with a high-fat diet; namely a seed-based diet. A good diet for a  quaker parakeet should consist of a pellete diet. as well as fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy table foods.

The distinguishing feature of the quaker parakeet is its storm-gray face, neck, and chest. They are considere a medium-size bird, and are often confuse with conures because of their size and coloration. There have been some recent mutations of these birds in blue and cinnamon (a lighter greenish-yellow)

though they are difficult to find and are very expensive. The blue mutation is particularly stunning and is beginning to lower in price as breeders

today are concentrating on them, though you may still have to search a little harder for them.

Because quaker parakeets are so prolific and destructive when they colonize in the wild,

they are illegal to sell or own in some states,

so check state laws before you acquire or sell a quaker. Also, consider the laws of states you might want to travel or move to if you already have a pet quaker.
