Ok! We just purchased a QP, but they forgot to tell us if it is male or female, or how old it is. A cage came with her, the lady who had, I'm just going to say her; made sure her cage and all came with her. My question is, how can you tell how old they are? I had a 60+ Amazon Parrett who passed away about 7 years ago, so I know a little but this little gal is very different then an amazon. It's funny she doesn't want to go into her cage AT ALL:) My daughter who went in with me on purchasing her, has been watching QP video's and (now) "Olive" is chattering and listening to country music, chiming in every now and then. Our biggest question is how to know how old she(?) is? Can anyone help us with that question? LOVE YOUR SITE:)
Once a QP is a little more mature-- past the baby stage-- it's tough to judge exactly how old they may be just by appearance or behavior. If the parrot has a leg band, there may be numbers on the band that indicate the year the parrot was hatched. My QP Ralph's band (long since removed by his veterinarian for his safety) has "09" on it, and he was indeed hatched in 2009.
