Is a Quaker Parrot a good pet bird?

Question

Can it talk?

is it easy to tame?

im getting it from a pet store

will it be harder to tame?

Answer 1

Yes, Quaker Parrots make good pets. They can talk and are generally easy to tame. Handfed birds are easier to tame than parent raised birds. It really depends on how much the bird has been handled by the workers. Some private stores are better about spending time with them than stores like Petco or Petsmart.

Answer 2

They are great birds and will talk your ear off :)  I can't even count the number of phrases that mine says.  He does ask for kisses quite a bit and lets you know that he is a good boy.  He calls the dogs and tells them to go lay down....(which they listen to him more than they do me :) ...someone knocks on the door and he will tell them to come in, if you sniff your nose, he will finish with the sound of a sneeze, and he can sound just like my daughter did when she was a baby crying )  They are pretty easy to tame...especially at a younger age, which I'm assuming it will be quite young when you get it.  They get a bit tempermental after maturity but with constant handling and training this will be minimal.  Make sure you do lots of research on them and you will find out lots about them.  Good luck  :)

Answer 3

The thing is it is capable of doing everything you asked but it like all parrots depend on you,

parrots need a lot of love and interaction to be all that they can be it come from you and then the bird wants to please you and trust me they watch you all the time and they love the positive reaction they get when they do something you like but if you don't have the time they want you to have for them or the toys it can back fire and your bird can be out of control in no time.

But don't let that scare you off its only to understand they are like a 2 year old but l agree read a lot on quakers hear is a sight you can start with.

Another thing is l suggest that you make sure it is already tame a untamed parrot can be quite a bit of a job for a first owner.
