So I have a Quaker parrot, his name is Mo, he is 6 years old, I’ve had him since he was less than a year. All his life he doesn’t like being down low, if he’s on my shoulder and I sit down, he flies to huge cage top which is higher. A few days ago I got new shoes, and he was on my shoulder when I was dancing, they made some squeaking sounds on my basement floor, so he flew down and staring trying to play with my laces. I had to hide them so he would leave them alone. Now every time I put on shoes he jumps down on the floor and plays with them or attacks them. He also jumps down to the floor now just to walk around, instead of landing on me he follows me by walking. He has also been a lot louder more often since the new shoes too. He is heathy and happy and has a good diet and lots of attention and toys and only sleeps in his cage.

Quaker parrots do seem to like shoes. My QP Ralph does. If Ralph seems to be too obsessed with any shoes I wear, I've found that the simplest cure is to not wear those particular shoes around him for a while. If you have a pair of shoes or slippers that Mo doesn't pay attention to, try wearing those instead of your new ones.

I do have an old pair of flip flops I wear around the house, and he has no interest in them. I’ve put my shoes in the closet now.

Ralph usually loses interest in whichever of my shoes he takes a fancy to after a few days, so Mo may forget about yours before long. In the meantime, wearing the flip-flops is a good idea since they're not so interesting to him.
