I wonder if it's just that they're doing the same thing they do when they mimic short sounds, they're just attempting to mimic the constant streaming they hear when people are talking 😅
It breaks my heart to see such wonderful birds abandoned and homeless. Many people don't fully comprehend the complex emotional needs of such intelligent and social pets.
i like how he is a Quaker parrot and resolves the issues peacefully, like maneuvering out from under your thumb instead of biting or pecking or scratching it.
Quakers are great pets. Growing up my family had one until he passed, he was a fantastic buddy. This video brought back so many good memories, thank you.
I always love how quakers specifically seem hellbent on participating in the conversation. My own quaker did the same thing--no matter who was talking, even if it wasn't to him, he'd squeak and chirp continuously like he was trying to throw in his two cents. We even tried talking louder and he'd raise his volume to match us!
Sorry for replying to a five-year-old comment, but I wanted to say, I've heard that this behavior is actually an evolutionary adaptation. In a flock, everybody making a little noise means that there's nothing to worry about nearby. If, for instance, a predator shows up with its eyes on the birds, one of them notices and clams up, and that signals to everyone else that it's time to be quiet, pay attention to their surroundings, and be ready to disperse if a threat gets too close. Almost all social birds do it, but yeah, pet parrots can kinda learn by watching their owner(s) and turn it into a weird "conversational" babble. My cockatiel gets all peppy and talkative if I get into a conversation or just talk a lot after picking him up for the first time that day, especially if I've been gone or out of town for at least a couple of days. It's like he's updating me on what happened while I was out!
I used to have a Quaker like that haha They DEFINITELY have personalities! I currently have a Blue Quaker and another bird. They talk to one another and chirp back and forth. It's adorable.
Sierra Reeb I’m looking at getting a blue Quaker! I don’t know much about them so I am for sure doing my research before I get one. Are they usually loud or does it depend on the personality?
Ours used to talk back and forth with the cat. He would even whistle for her. For the longest time after she died, he would whistle her call, sounding increasingly mournful when she didn't come
I owned a Quaker parrot for several years. I LOVED that bird. I bought him because i thought it would be cool to have another Quaker in the house (the two of us). Let me just say, that they aren't called "Quakers" because they are quiet! In fact, these birds can be the noisiest, most demanding little boogers out there. Lesson learned (this goes for dog breeds too): know the temperament of a breed! Some birds are more social than others. Quakers need to be with their humans most of the time. They are social birds. If you neglect them or leave them alone they have a shriek that can clear a room fast. They, like many birds, also like some people and don't like others. Maxx adored my mom but hated my sister and my partner, hissing at them any time they walked by. Sometimes, he'd walk around and bite them out of spite. Ultimately, I chose to give Maxx away to someone who I thought could give him more attention than I could. Unfortunately, the apartment management sprayed for pests in her apartment while she was at work and Maxx died. He's buried near my family plot in the Quaker cemetery in TN. It broke my heart. Lesson learned: don't assume your apartment staff understand the delicacy and needs of birds. Birds take lots of time, patience, and care. Read up and talk to previous owners of any animal breed before buying a pet! Great video btw.
I didn’t realize how old this video was until I finished watching. Jessie you don’t appear to have changed a bit in 5 yrs! All the love you get from all your wonderful little creatures must keep you young! 😉 Do you still have Chopsticks? My sister had a Quaker parrot named Emma for several yrs. She only liked my sister & me. Lol She didn’t like our kids at all even though they tried to be gentle & calm around her. She started getting really aggressive & biting the kids if she was out of her cage. Sadly, she had to find a new home for Emma bc she wouldn’t stop biting the kids or my sister’s husband. She is happy & doing well, though with her new owner. 😊
My 16 yr old Quaker hen Kippy laffs like that too... She always says thank you when I feed her or give her a treat. Oh and she always tells me what a good, good girl she is!
I love quacker parrots ! I used to have a blue male. We were sleeping together, having a bath together, study, eat and he just learnt so many things without me even trying to teach him. He had a special call sound, was putting his wings up on the command, etc I think he thought he was a human .. not a bird ..lol I’m very sad we lost him ..
I have a Quaker too. 😊 Kiwi. He loves to sing and dance. 🎶 He also loves mumbling and yelling when ever some one is on the phone. He brings us so much joy and laughter. 💕 I really like this video, and Kiwi did too. (I showed him.) 😄
@@Peeper117She's possibly just taking care of her feathers. 😄 If she's violently biting herself or even plucking, do some research on Quakers, & how to keep them as pets. To find out if you're doing something wrong. 🐦 ⚽️Does she have enough toys & challenging? (Giving her toys, & learning her some tricks, helps her to improve her skills & keeps her busy.) 🏠A big enough cage? 💧A clean cage? 🌳Enough time outside of her cage? 🥜The right food & clean water? ❤Enough attention & love?

Thank you. 💕
I am AMAZED! I have a ten week old baby Quaker I've been handfeeding for the past month, we're already bonded. I have noticed that he's extremely intelligent already but WOW this blew me away! I do know from my other birds how smart they are and what they're capable of. They just need love and attention. Thanks for this video, I've subscribed.
Your love of creatures shines through in your videos - especially this one. I would give anything to hold little Chopsticks and talk with him. I've always loved animals (as long as they aren't reptiles or bugs!) and have often wished that I could start a rescue center, but as a Senior Citizen on a fixed income, that just isn't possible. Watching your videos and knowing that you are taking good care of your little "guests" never fails to put a smile on my face. Thank you for all you do! Jeanie S. Wilmington, NC
Issam Mashhour Well they invent their own little noise to keep in touch with their mate and they associate certain phrases with certain actions (which is kind of like dogs and 'sit' etc.) and they can also pair different words from different situations together which ,you have to say, is pretty smart.
They’re actually pretty low maintenance, but you have to be the kind of person who enjoys chatting with them as much as they enjoy chatting with you. The two most challenging things about them are: 1) the piercing shriek they emit when they feel they’re not getting your attention; and 2) they HATE being left with other people (for example, when you go on vacation or have to travel for work). If you leave them for even a few days, they will read you the riot act when you return, especially if the temporary caregiver was someone they didn’t especially like.
this is so good i'm so glad i found this channel and am watching all the videos from the beginning. it's super fun and educational, the host is adorable and i love how easy it is to see she adores these animals
Good videos for those who don't know birds or for those of us who enjoy seeing other feathered friends. I have four and could not imagine how you handle all the demands of your flock. But enjoyed the technical info on the various species. One note on Quakers is that they have a mischievous sense of humor which make them a bit unique from other parrots. So if you bond with a Quaker, they enjoy teasing those around you like sharing a private joke.
One of my cockatiels is very particular with what he learns. The melodies he sings all have some common traits. He likes repetitive, kind of bouncy melodies, like the adams family theme, and if you're happy and you know it. He also knows one phrase, which he learned when he still less than a year old. He can say "hey, buddy." He has not learned any other phrase, but he says this a lot. Every morning when I wake them up, he says "hey!"
Parrots learn to approximate human speech by imitation, which is technically mimicry. However, I'd argue that parrots are intelligent enough to start vocalizing the mimics in the appropriate cognitive context. Essentially, once a bird has mastered the vocalization, it then starts attaching it to cognitions, not randomly picking vocalizations from their repertoire.
Some can, but only with extensive professional training, and usually they have to be the larger more intelligent species than a Quaker. An African Grey Parrot named Alex learned a bunch of words and their meanings, and he actually had the cognitive intelligence of a 4 year old child. But he was also trained for years on end by an animal psychologist, Irene Pepperberg. Sadly, he's passed away, but I'm sure Dr. Pepperberg is training his successor.
ShadeSlayer1911 i am totally convinced that birds do not only mimic. for example my african gray says "want water" when water dish is low . or "want nut or apple" when he wants one and if you give him the wrong thing he drops it. the most impressive thing to me was one day i was eating something that he did not know the name of. he looked at it and said "want kiss" i immediately went in to kiss him ( he always lets me) but he turned his head and again looked at what i was eating and said "want kiss" i put it up to his beak and he ate it. i have stopped counting the number of words my gray knows because there are too many to count. and he uses lots of them in appropriate situations.
Gourmet Soap Boutique That's very impressive. Alex had to be trained for 30 years by an expert, but your gray seems to just be learning by association. Just goes to show how birds can surprise us sometimes.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 That's not true at all. They may not give words the exact meaning that we do, but even smaller birds like Quakers can use language intentionally. I realize it is nine years since you commented here and you are not likely to see this response, but I wanted to drop it for whoever may read the comments at some point since the Internet is forever. Sort of. Our Quaker rescue lived with us nearly 27 years. His speech was not as clear as Chopsticks, nor did he learn new words every week. He actually didn't seem to mimic much. Rather he would pick up a word or phrase, or create his own phrase once he decided to attach a meaning to it. So forget "extensive professional training." Our small Quaker pretty much taught himself what he wanted to say.
Chopsticks is lovely! I "parrot-sat" for a family friend who has a Quaker, but unfortunately she didn't do a good job of socializing him with other people, so it was always a bit of a challenge to remain un-bitten!
Great Video! I grew up from 13 on with my pop's African grey and had a quaker in my 20s. He could say like 60 phrases. They're crazy smart. Mine was a closet-talker; he wouldn't talk if he thought he could be seen or heard, with some exceptions. Such as - Laughing with you and saying "Wanna bite?" when you were eating pizza or something else with bread or crunchy things. When I would put him to bed. We would say together "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bird bugs bite". He had the same voice of this one. :)
I like it when birds can't perfectly mimic human speech, and they sound all weird, like a worn-out toy's voicebox. It's strangely relaxing. 3:30 is a perfect example. "Can I give you some scratches? Ooh, scratches." _"oooooh s c r a t c h e s"_
I'm really glad to see this. Chopsticks acts a lot more like our Quaker, Reepicheep did. I was getting discouraged because all the other Quaker videos showed their birds as biting and being unpredictable. Reeps was somewhat aggressive in the early spring, but otherwise was quite sweet. He was a rehomed bird at about two years. He lived with us for almost 27 years and almost made it to 29 years old. He died this January, and has left a huge hole in our lives. I was considering another Quaker, but after looking at the other videos, I was wondering if we were just lucky with Reepicheep. So it is wonderful to see Chopsticks
I have a Quaker Parrot as well! His name is Kiwi and we rescued him from a bad family. He bonded with me and has been such a great bird. He laughs just like Chopsticks and speaks really well. This video really made me happy. Thank you.
I LOVE CHOPSTICKS !! and so does my Harley , hes a quaker parrot also , he lost his mate about 6 months ago and is barely starting to mimic again . i have started watching videos of other quaker parrots and it seems to be calming to him to a degree anyway !!! so thank you !!! subscribed !!
That's soooo cool! What a clever bird, I'm definitely gonna get a Quaker parrot or parrotlets or something when I'm older. Thanks so much for your videos, they make my day!
Now this is what I call super cute....the pefect couple. Just now found your channel thanks to scishow. I didn't know you had one until I took the time to look. May be I just missed Hank from scishow, saying where to find you. I'm glad I did. Your perfect with the animals and a beautiful personality to boot!
I have a female quaker parrot with no claws, I got her from a breeder that told me the story of her mate ate her toes off yrs ago. I've had her for 1 yr now and I couldn't see being without her. Her name is Tealy
Awesome video as always. I live in Uruguay (in South America), and down here this parrots are everywhere, so it's interesting to learn a few extra things about them.
They are so very amazing! My Quaker, Ninja-Bird, is right at a year old . I have several parrots and even a starling but Ninja is special. He sings, dances, talks (and he knows what he's saying). To think that they're pests abd are illegal in many states!
I adopted a 6 month old, well now 8 month old. We've bonded sooooo well. I can't get him to stop chewing everything in site and his vocab seems to be developing. Can't quite form a clear word. But he's trying.
My quaker parakeet says "bye bye" not only when I leave the room, but also when he WANTS me to go away, for example when I put food in his cage and he wants to be alone to eat it. I have had the bird for 32 years.
They may come from South America but there are over 100,000 that fly freely in Florida. I've seen 100's flying here always in groups. They fly very quickly and screech as they fly by you.
I have a new 8 weeks old Quaker parrot pet, I had him when he was 6weeks old ,I named him Zeeko , now he says his name at this very, I adore this fluffy balls if feather😊❤
My family used to have a Quaker parrot named Hedwig. We had him for 3 years before we had to give him to a friend because he hated my dad and would try to bite him whenever he could. I miss the little guy...
i like how he keeps chirping and mumbling under his breath throughout the entire video
Short Fuse that’s a Quaker thing mine does it too lol
Mine does that all the time lol
I wonder if it's just that they're doing the same thing they do when they mimic short sounds, they're just attempting to mimic the constant streaming they hear when people are talking 😅
Heh, he's translating for the other parrots in the audience.
It breaks my heart to see such wonderful birds abandoned and homeless. Many people don't fully comprehend the complex emotional needs of such intelligent and social pets.
Chopsticks has the best villain laugh!
So parrots mimic as a way to find their loved ones? That's adorable :D .
IKR
i used to have a quaker, she was THE most loyal pet i have ever owned. truly amazing :-)

I have a female quaker parrot with no claws, I got her from a breeder that told me the story of her mate ate her toes off yrs ago. I've had her for 1 yr now and I couldn't see being without her. Her name is Tealy
chopsticks is special :D
That's one awesome parrot..
This is 5 years old. I still watch it because of the parrot

Surprised and impressed about these birds wow too smart for their size
Awesome video as always. I live in Uruguay (in South America), and down here this parrots are everywhere, so it's interesting to learn a few extra things about them.

I would love to have a bird like Chopsticks.

Amazing creatures...
They are so very amazing! My Quaker, Ninja-Bird, is right at a year old . I have several parrots and even a starling but Ninja is special. He sings, dances, talks (and he knows what he's saying). To think that they're pests abd are illegal in many states!
I adopted a 6 month old, well now 8 month old. We've bonded sooooo well. I can't get him to stop chewing everything in site and his vocab seems to be developing. Can't quite form a clear word. But he's trying.
My quaker parakeet says "bye bye" not only when I leave the room, but also when he WANTS me to go away, for example when I put food in his cage and he wants to be alone to eat it. I have had the bird for 32 years.
They may come from South America but there are over 100,000 that fly freely in Florida. I've seen 100's flying here always in groups. They fly very quickly and screech as they fly by you.
I have a new 8 weeks old Quaker parrot pet, I had him when he was 6weeks old ,I named him Zeeko , now he says his name at this very, I adore this fluffy balls if feather😊❤
My family used to have a Quaker parrot named Hedwig. We had him for 3 years before we had to give him to a friend because he hated my dad and would try to bite him whenever he could. I miss the little guy...
I'd LOVE to see a little intro like this for all of your animals!!
That's is one smart green quaker!
