My question is:We have a 8 month old quaker parrot. He doesn't want to say much. Up up, and he imitates the kids scream, and has two different laughs. Am I doing something wrong? I have a "talky bird" recorder that I put phrases on. I read about people who have quakers that talk earlier than this. Is he normal? Also, he has a high pitched chirp that almost makes your ears bleed. I've tried whispering to him, scolding him, showering him, and covering him. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

My question is: We have a Blue Front Amazon. We have to trim the beak about once a month. Is there a vitiman suppliment to curb this problem? The other two birds we have don't have this problem.

My question is: My girlfriend and I have had our quaker for two years, but recently, he's developed a growth on his beak that seems to be closing his left nnostril. We are very worried and before we go to a vet, could someone please give us some insight?

Thanx,

Hi all. I am in Southern California and we recently had a small earthquake, the first
one I recall since we got our macaw, Woody, six months ago (he is about 1 year old now)

Anyway, the earthquake woke me up and I heard Woody flapping around in his cage.
I uncovered him and he was extremely distressed. I calmed him down and put him back
to bed. When I woke up the next morning he was still clinging to the side of the cage
where I left him. Since then, that's how he sleeps (I'm assuming he sleeps when we do).
Every morning when I uncover him he is on the side of the cage. I can tell from his
droppings he's been there all night. Is this OK? I've tried a few nights to put him on
his perch, where he used to sleep, whenever I get up to use the restroom. It hasn't worked.
He does use his perch during the day and he is eating fine. What, if anything, should I do?
Thanks.

I have a yellow nape amazon parrot and he used to eat a bird food called "Abba" until I found out that the sunflower seeds were no good for him. So I switched to a new food called "Safflower Gold". The problem is, my parrot keeps throwing the food out of his cage! Can you suggest a bird food that he will eat and enjoy without having to vacuum my carpet everyday? Any help would be appreciated!

I have a beautiful 18 weeks old Quaker that I need to find a new home for.
He's much louder than expected, and the apartment tenants do not appreciate
him at all. He's been checked out by a vet within the last couple weeks and is
in perfect health. I've only had him for 4 weeks now. He's beginning to talk
and he's ever so freindly. I hate to part with him, but I think I must.
Everything is included with him too (food, treats, toys, cage, perches, etc - cage
is 5' by 3' by 2'). I would like to get some of my money back since it's only
been 4 weeks...I figure $350.00 for everything was a fair price (as it is
valued at over $700.00). Please, let me know if you are interested.
Time is of the essence. Thank you.
