Hello everyone quaeker's age

Hello tadam. That question is very difficult to answer. If the bird has a band on it's leg ... that may give you the year it was born. The only other way that I would tell is by their behaviour and that would only be an estimate. If the bird has behavioral problems then it has learned them and therefore would be a little older than a newbie. Baby quaker parrots will shake a lot.... like quaking... their entire body.

I would check more on the history of the Seller. Has he/she been breeding birds for a long time? How many quakers are for sale? Does the seller have a good reputation? etc. etc.

I am not sure if DNA testing will give you an actual age?? Maybe someone else on this site might have that answer.

Good Luck.

Welcome to the forum, tadam! Julianna and Gary have pretty much covered it already, and I just want to add to it. Once you come to know birds better, it usually isn't hard to pick out a bird that is around weaning age. There is something fresh and shiny about a really young bird, but it is hard to describe.

I'd ask to see the bird that you are going to get before it is weaned. Some breeders encourage prospective adopters to handle the birds well before taking them home, so they won't be total strangers to each other.
