Question

I really want a Quacker bird but how much is to much? $650 is what they want for a 3 year old .?

Answer 1

Its a lot of money for a bird that might not be tame. From a pet shop? They are always over priced and you hardly know wat you are getting. If hes a sweet bird, and you really want him, then if its worth it to you then buy it. I would shop around.

Answer 2

A 3 year old quaker bird really expensive. $650 is a best price

Answer 3

What does that price include?  Does the cage and accesories come with it?  Also what color is this bird? Quakers have different color mutations which carry different prices.  Why is the seller selling it?  Is it tame?  Does it talk?  There are so many things that can influence the price.  Without more information, I don't know if the $650 is a fair price or not.

Answer 4

Hello,

I'm not too familiar with Quacker prices but $650 does tend to sound a bit pricey.

I would look for a breeder in your area, that would be your best bet.

Answer 5

no research a little more buy birdtalk and look for breeders and petstores in the back of the magazine bt 650? i paid 90 dollars for mine and it is tame he was 1 year old i love quacker parrots bt dont buy it dats too much u can buy a sun conure or an amazon for that bt what color is it ? if its the regular green and grey then thats way too much bt if it is mutation and its a rare color then the price might be right

Answer 6

Yes, Quakers are illegal in 11 states. Normally quakers run around $200.  You are gonna get ripped off.  Petland has them here for $150.  An older bird is usually cheaper.  Look around or find a breeder...Please read my profile

Even if this is the price they want for a blue quaker, it is way too much.  A blue can be bought for around $300 to $400 most places, and cheaper from a breeder.  Even if it includes the cage, toys and food, this is too much money.

Answer 7

You are asking a lot of questions here, and that's good.  Need more details, tho.  Is it a regular, green quaker parrot?  Is it a blue parrot or some other color?  

Pricing on Qs depends on where you live.  And by the way, Qs are actually outlawed in some states so make sure  you check it out before you buy.

Average price near the east coast and other places I have checked for Quakers is $300.  Blues, lutinos and other colors are going to cost more.  Are you getting this baby from a breeder?

Good luck!
