Hello, I just recently bought a pair of quakers because my mother had one from a baby and I just fell in love. I couldn't find one very easy although I live in a state where they are not considered illegal. Anyway i've done all the research, I've built the nesting box, and they are of age to breed. I want to raise them so others can enjoy what I did when I lived with my mom and seeing her. According to the breeder that I purchased them from I live in Arkansas and they came from Oregon to a bird fair in Tulsa, I have their DNA records and when they were done and all those records, I have had them only for a month. My question is how long does it take for a female quaker to lay a clutch and will she. From the research I read, they only lay twice a year. and from what the breeder I bought them from she hasn't yet. Am I doing something wrong? Any advice?

Welcome. I have no experience with breeding parrots, so I'm sorry to have no advice to offer you. Maybe someone else on the Forum can be more helpful.

Hi and welcome to the forum, most people on here just have one Quaker. You might want to search up a breeder group as they could offer you lots of tips and help. One thing I do know is you need to be feeding a very healthy diet of fresh foods and pellets

Welcome. Do you know how old your quakers are? they are 2 years old. I spent alot of money on them. I want to breed them because pet stores just dont sell them anymore and they are so loveable. I was told they only lay twice a year. Im not sure on that either. I suppose i just need to google everything I can.
