Thanks for the welcome and the Nutri-Berrie suggestion. Having fun shopping cages and buying all the essentials. And of course, doing lots of research. Glad I found this forum!

Hello, I am Mom to Charlie who was a neglected Quaker. He has been with us for 8 years now and has become a very nice family member,He is 19, talks like a fool and loves bossing around the dogs and cat, He begs for food and eats absolutely everything we do. Who knew Quakers like ice cream?

Welcome to you and Charlie!  It's nice to have another older QP here. I'm sure he appreciates having a good home with you. Unlike Charlie, my QP Ralph wouldn't eat ice cream-- he doesn't like foods if they're too cold.  |

Welcome, Chacha and Charlie! It sounds like Charlie has trained you very well.  We look forward to hearing more about both of you on the Forum. |

Namaste! We welcomed our newest family member home yesterday. We are having trouble settling on a name - currently, it is Aurora … potentially Serenity. 0_0

Yeah, hi Mikebike! Do you ride a bike? I used to ride a Ducati Monster 1100S (pre-injury). Welcome to the Forum. I'm in Australia. |

Hello everyone,
I’m Kim. I’m so pleased to have found this forum because yesterday my 15 year old daughter and I brought home our very young baby Quaker. We’ve named him/her “Q”. In the following introduction and explanation of the particulars of our newly launched parrot parenting endeavor, I’ll heretofore use the pronouns combination him/her in reference to Q because I feel strongly that referring to Q by it is just wrong. Reasons for settling upon the name Q, in quasi particular order of importance: research says he/she is potentially a great source of mischief, hence the diabolical connotations of the Q name, established long ago on Star Trek episodes.—Truth be told, I’m apprehensive. Next, because of my daughter’s infatuation with a ‘Q’ dubbed Kpop band member she thinks is gorgeous, about which I’m also apprehensive. And finally for the obvious Qs for Quaker and questionable gender. Moving on, Q’s hand fed using a pipette, and we’re taking turns feeding him/her in hopes he/she’ll bond with both of us. The breeder said we can wean him over the course of this week. We’re elated to have Q and excited to include him/her in as much of our lives as we can. To that end, I wonder if it’s feasible for him/her to adapt to travel between homes several days a week without upsetting him. Also, is it reasonable to take him to Florida with us every few months? That’s it for now! Thank you, all, for being here!

Welcome to you and Q. Because Q is so young, he/she may adapt more readily to shuttling between two homes than an older parrot would. Parrots like routine, and moving back and forth will likely be accepted as part of Q's routine. The same is true of traveling to Florida. Some parrots love to travel, others do not (such as mine). Getting a parrot used to travel at a young age is often helpful in getting one to like it. All the best to you and Q. |

Welcome to you and Q. I agree Q will probably be a good traveler since he is young and will not know any different.
Looking forward to hearing how he is doing transitioning to pellets And getting to know you

Welcome to you and Q! Yeah, I agree with the others - the sooner you get Q used to travelling/shaking things up a little, the more he/she will take it in stride. Get'em while they're young! Our Bonnie loves going for a drive in the car. I find that if I don't make a big deal with things, but just stay 'matter-of-fact' with her (e.g., OK we're going for a drive), then don't fuss too much over her, she's fine. Let us all know how it goes! |
