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...
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
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.
Love bites, I'm assuming. There's several species that do this, cats being the main example I can think of off the top of my head, but a quick bit of research says that birds will perform soft bites when they're feeling playful or when they want your attention for something. A real bite is very quick and usually accompanied by ruffled feathers, according to my 2 minutes of research.
They didn’t feel loving. He never let me touch him and his bites hurt. I’m sure I wasn’t an experienced handler and could have done much better, it just seemed like he never gave me an opportunity. His cage was above my bed, which was low on the ground. I’ve heard you don’t want their cage above you like that because they feel dominant.
never knew i needed preening vids till now O_O extremely satisfying....and very fact filled!! thank you for all the bird facts. fs subbing and sticking around
I have two adopted Quakers. The messiest birds I have - they try not to foul their cage and therefore poop to the outside almost all the time. Yes they are a bit aggressive. But they make up for it by making art - weaving feathers and string into the cage bars
When you mentioned them forming feral colonies - theres a colony of green birds in a park close to me. (In germany) they always come together in the evening, chatting a bit ans falling alseep. I think i know what they are now
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.😂
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. ❤️🐦❤️
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.
It's really sad how many parrots are bought on impulse, let alone purchasing them with how many are in need of homes. Probably because those people would never pass the checks to adopt. People see cute videos and think thats the experience youll get but thats like 30% of the experience. Its not sunshine and rainbows, I honestly would describe it similar to having a toddler but they never grow up and live for a very long time, certainly not for everyone.
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
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 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌹🌹🦜🦜
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
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)
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.

@@InevitableUniverse LMFAO. my birds are really dusty so it irritates my nose like when your allergies are really bad
@@bigbirdbirdbird okay. Question. What's she doing? Clueless newbie to bird stuff.
@@janew7008Preening pin feathers. Pin feathers are itchy feathers that come in durin a molt, and most parrots cant reach the ones on their heads
Glad you enjoyed it! I Preening is one of my favorite things to do and I will be posting more videos
im watching this with my baby quaker right now! i love him so much
❤❤😅
How are you going with your new Quaker.. I have a 7 year old Quaker.. his name is Casper..I have a small Chanel if you would like to see him
@Jo-eh7ux hi Jo I'm already your subscriber 😊.I really like your green quaker parrot.
@@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.
Love this pin feather opening!
Quakers are also among the best talkers and smartest parrots in the world.
You are correct! They are top 5. Near the bottom but still one of the best.
Wrong
❤yes zillaafanzyou are right.
@@meg4458 ❤
Thanks for the infos and the relaxed parrot to watch

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.
Thank you, I need to be more regular in posting my videos here

Dinosaurs evolved into aggressive green flying avocado
Fabulous pins!!!

He is so cute
I have two adopted Quakers. The messiest birds I have - they try not to foul their cage and therefore poop to the outside almost all the time. Yes they are a bit aggressive. But they make up for it by making art - weaving feathers and string into the cage bars
More pinfeathers please, it’s so satisfying ❤
I will try to start posting on here more regularly
Thank you! Pin feather removal was amazing!!!
The irony of a bird named after quakers being aggressive and loud lmao
So sweet
so many pin feathers .
My quaker parrot is blue 💙
Ya le estoy ayudando así a mi lorito
When you mentioned them forming feral colonies - theres a colony of green birds in a park close to me. (In germany) they always come together in the evening, chatting a bit ans falling alseep. I think i know what they are now
Nice video
Awww❤
There is a flock in Kemah Texas.

They're outlawed in Pennsylvania.

Are you taking care of pin feathers?
In spain they are called argentina parakeets or corterras

hey my bird is scared of taking baths do you have any suggestions on what to do
I have also Quaker and he doesn’t have this problem at all
I feel this one so dirty!😖
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.

Mine has just gotten cage aggressive.
What’s is that on him or her
I also have a green Quaker parrot..he is 7 years old. I have a small Chanel if you would like to see him 😍
He is absolutely precious!

Parrots can’t break their own pinfeathers on their head, that’s why they’re touching the feathers
unlucky for you to never experience a bonding activity with your pets then
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.
