Does anyone else have a Quaker that purrs? Kosmo does. It's a happy sound for him, but I'm wondering if he also doesn't snore sometimes  |

How I miss that sound! It's a very common indicator of Quaker contentment.

Yup! Huevos purrs all the time. I love that sound. I've been enjoying learning about all the little sounds that they make. The purring is easily my favourite. Shrieking next to my ear? Not so much!

Ducky purrs as well. Usually when preening me or my BF. If we reach to return the favor, he scolds us. If we let him finish to his hearts content, then he ruffles up his feathers and we are given permission to preen him. And the purring continues. He's a funny little guy.

Ralph purrs too, usually when he's getting scritches.  |

Interesting to read about when other quakers purr - Shah purrs when I put him to bed and so I purr back. We keep that going for a while and then he decides to quack and expects me to respond. Then he does clicking noises and sometimes a little whistle. Then we move onto kissing sounds. He changes the order of the sounds regularly and he always initiates it.

I guess Bishop's the odd one here then. He doesn't purr. He'll do something sounding similar but it's more of a growl/grunt and done more when he seems annoyed, not happy.

Bonnie purrs a lot...I can't think of a better word to describe it, because that's exactly what it sounds like; a cat purring! She does it when I scratch under her lower beak or on the top of her head, or when she's trying to preen my hair. Unlike Shah, she doesn't do it when she goes to bed, though. She goes down in the bottom of her cage and does this raucous screeching, sometimes interspersed with saying 'goodnight' in a very squeaky voice. |

Yep, Cupcake purrs too She does it when she is particularly delighted, sometimes while getting rubs, but sometimes just when she is happy about something. One of the best noises ever. She also does the growl/grunt when annoyed like Bishop... that is, sadly, much more common than the purr |

Moxie purrs when u would expect a cat/kitten to purr, comfort. She established this sound when she was about 4 months old. I haven't had a bird in a long time but there is no mistaking her happiness to a new home away from her siblings at the time of day she expresses this sound. Usually right b4 her nite nite cage. What a sweet quaker!
