Phoenix Quaker Parrot talking

[Liuhuayue]

Wait, did you call him Booger?

[impaled]

i love all PARROTS!!!! munk love

[Demonicii]

It tends to be my experience that birds do not like things over their heads, like coming at him from over him or putting your hand higher than him. I may be wrong but, it does seem to be a common trend between a lot of birds.

that quaker is so cute inside that awesome tent! he looks like he is comfortable in there!That is probably why its in a good mood :D

[ToeTwinkleToes]

Quakers are my favorite parrots. They're only downside is that they are very territorial and they are a one person bird. But that's not always such a bad thing haha

[theHardcoreChaos]

is that parkeet family or parrot family?

[FableAnimations]

@theHardcoreChaos parakeet means small parrot I believe.

[weaverryanj]

@theHardcoreChaos and @ FableAnimations

Budgies or "Parakeets" as they are known in pet stores are true parrots, they are just not always perceived as parrots because of their small size and their low price tag. Budgies are NOT Parakeets.

Parakeets are a sub-group of parrots which include the Quaker and the Ringneck. Long story short, true Parakeets are just Parrots who are distinguished by their long tails.

Quakers are a type of Parakeets AND Parrots, but are NOT budgies "parakeets"

Looks like he's a little territorial when it comes to his fort! He's super cute though!

[commandersem]

i have the same bird but mines a female but i wont talk

[maryjanejasmine]

@commandersem yes the same thing is up with me

[ParrotTrainingSchool]

Great! Very cool to watch it..

[parakeet8157]

Cute vid. Maybe u shoud leave him alone when he's in the "hut."

[Aranur]

hehe your quaker sounds like daffy duck when he says c'mere. great bird.

[pschodog3]

My Quaker was violent, but loving.

If someone besides me walked by the cage he would charge at the cage wall and hit it with his beak making a loud crashing sound.

[brandon3764]

No u come here

[HolyCrapanAsian]

i took care of a wild quaker for a while because it had some pretty bad injuries. after he healed i let him go. he was a sweetheart but jesus he loved to play bite pretty hard.

[DarkWolf243]

too cute

[theWarmth2k7]

He's not going to be nice, because he's in a hormonal nesting mode, which will cause aggression. Just because he's saying something cute doesn't mean he's enjoying the interaction!

[ifrit1780]

Why is yours so nice?! Mine hates me!

[DJMdalia]

"Come here" lol I wish my Quaker could talk :( lol sweet Quaker

[GGGiL00]

wow!! how do u get him to talk, i've always tried wit my parrot and he never says nothing!!

[psycopath8]

how did you train you bird not to bite?

[reptilover100]

lol

Bird: "Come here"

Owner: "No! You come here"

[cocletilla]

Me encanta.

[lillinda317]

I love my quaker Petey, he says several things check out his videos

[redringneck907]

My Quaker Ko-ko says his name, yeah, and my name. He also makes fart noices, clicking sounds, and sort of a quack sound. He likes to fluff and bob his head a lot.

[MsPollywantacracker]

I love your video ,too cute..I get my 1st Quaker parrot next week and I'm excited cause he already talks and has been sexed so he is a boy.

[tdrewman]

My says Stop it all the time. Qupee nip me on the nose, I said ouch and then before I could say something else, he told me to stop it and ran off.

[julietran]

[MsPollywantacracker]

You must feel so lucky to have your bird that long..I have lovebirds but getting my 1st Quaker next week ,I'm so excited.

[SUPERBUGER1999]

+ 4 chickens

[chloe4585]

i love quakers, their so fluffy cute! I might get one, ive had birds b4, i love them! can you toilet train them?

[amez1314]

Yep! Phoenix is potty trained. If we ask him if he has to poop he will shake his head, we will put him on his cage, he will poop and say "good poop, want a seed?" It took awhile for him to learn it but he doesn't really have any accidents. They are awesome pets but very loud

[bario46cityhights]

@amez1314 hey u need to watch out with those types of beds i bought them one time for my parakeets and they left it only used it one time cuaz there some type of mites of bugs in the bed

[acefireburst]

Yes! mine is potty trained ^^

I didnt do it intentionally, she just doesnt poop on me lol. They're the best birds ever. Sooo hilarious :)

[wingnutwally]

@chloe4585 My Quaker Shammy just potty-trained himself. He wont poop on momma's shoulder. He well tug on my hair to be put in his cage to poo.

Quakers are very smart parrots. I love them!

[ScreamersDaughter]

@chloe4585 u should!

[sherbanan]

i think he loves that blue sheet

[verticalsmurf]

I don't know how much experience you have had with Quakers, but if you want to scratch him, start on his cheek near his beak, this vid shows that he will let you do that. Just brush his feathers against their direction of growth. If he likes it, he will fluff up his head feathers, and possibly put his head down, that means he would like you to scratch his head, and that he may love you for ever. He is a sweet bird. Makes me miss my Charlie.

[punjedi]

true true, I was a little cautious too because she is approaching him in his roost. Tends to be their safe zone and sometimes the "leave me be" space.

Very cute and well behaved bird though :)

and yes, don't you just love that 140 decibal "I want something" squawk? :)
