Our blue Quaker wall-e has cage aggression and is very evil spirited unless he is in my hands. When I hold him, I am allowed to preen, kiss, and cuddle him. Other than that wall-e makes himself off limits. When we first got our baby, he had an accident with his left claw and one of his toes were sliced. We patched it and moved on with life.
This summer wall-e decided to chew off his remaining class on this foot and has become a nubby left footed bird. The nubs are all healed and from what we researched- it said that Quakers can become suicidal. Is my baby trying to hurt himself or was it an itch he couldn't stand? Will he attack his other foot?

I'm not sure why Wall-e is biting his feet. I'd suggest a visit to his avian vet to rule out any physical causes-- infection or some injury that's not obvious.
As for Quakers being suicidal, that's something I've never heard of before in all the reading and research I've done about QPs.

My CAG has no nails on one foot. Her original people said she chewed them off herself. She's 12, and I'm not sure when it happened, but she's been with me nearly six years and she has left the other foot alone. I have no idea if there are physical causes or if it is anxiety, but I agree that a vet visit would be a wise choice.
