Hello, I joined awhile ago but haven't posted. We adopted Chico last January. We just celebrated our first year with him. He is about 5.5 yrs old. We then adopted Piccolo a Quaker and Sunshine a Conure. Piccolo was under one year and Sunshine is 16. Piccolo got out of the house and flew away in Oct. and we have not located him. At the same time someone found a Quaker we thought was Piccolo. After we brought him home we knew he wasn't our Piccolo. We kept "Kalik" after putting out several ads for a found Quaker. Then we found little Kiwi at a Parrot store in our area. Someone found some baby parakeets. I adopted her. We adopted our Goffins Cockatoo from Exotic Bird Rescue. She is 27 years old and loves my husband and totally bonded to him right from the start. Chico is my bird. Sunny isn't tame and we are working on Kalik and Kiwi.

Welcome to the Forum! Wow, it sounds like you are kept extremely busy with all your birds. They are lucky to have a home with someone who is willing to put in the work to maximise their potential. Are Chico and Kiwi both quakers?

Hello from chicago!! Northwest burbs..you're going to need more paper towels !! Quite a band ya have there..I'm jealous. .I have only 1 and if I was to get another, it would probably be a rescue bird as there seems to be plenty wanting homes everywhere ya look. My daughter rescued 2 rabbits she has,and my son 2 cats. I was unaware that there was so many birds at the time I brought my little buddy home. Nice area you live in too ! Scheming a trip back out that way this summer. Cheers !

Welcome to the forum... nice to have new members especially when we know they are going to have wonderful stories about their Quakers. You have your hands full there.... and so happy to hear you got them from a Rescue centre. You are so very kind hearted.

Welcome to the forum, to a very well-birded family! They must keep you busy. I've always been interested in Goffins. I look forward to reading more about your bunch!
