Tequila Talking Part 2

This is Tequila making some of her random noises. She made a whole bunch more after the camera was off, of course. The music was on in the background because it helps her talk (lol).....She also talks more if I talk with her :)
I've only had Tequila for three years but she's my age (18)

aww so adorable but I have a quaker thats 25 yrs old i've had him since he was 5 and I feed him chocolate O.o not all the time but whenever I have some xD he has a very healthy diet and I take him to my avian vet regularly . the vet doesn't recommend the chocolate but he's been eating it for 20 yrs and he is very healthy O_o.

@JolinXXQuest1 - Chocolate is extremely toxic for birds. I am not sure how he's still functioning, but  I would wager that it's mostly luck. Sugary/fatty/salty foods are all terrible for them... My birds get a small piece of cheese the size of their eye about once or twice a month.. That's about it. I would quit the chocolate because it's poison for him and it sounds like you love him a lot !

Thank you for your kind comment :)

She was actually a Quaker Parakeet, not a parrotlet. Parrotlets are really small, like lovebirds. Anyway, good luck with your bird! :)

She was a great talker, actually. I'd appreciate if you only posted positive comments.

Tequila passed away on Oct. 1, 2007. She was a great bird and I really miss her, all the cute little things she used to do. Every day I wish that she was still alive and with me.

She passed away on Oct 1 / 2007

I miss her so much and this video makes me so sad, but she was a very special bird and I'll always love her

[astrid420]

^^aw, well, tell your child that she's still a nice, normal bird in every other way.

Everybody that knows anything about birds, knows that quakers tend to become feather pluckers. It's not the owner's fault, and often times no remedies work!

Astrid ~ Don't pay the rude comments any mind.

omg so puffy <3. quakers always fluff up when they are comfy and/or sleepy. they're not actually that fat lol.

[JolinXXQuest1]

@astrid420 hah i agree .. It's hard tho after such a long time but I do want him to be as healthy as possible ^^ i've started to cut the chocolate out and i noticed he's been getting a bit noisy o.o maybe its just a de-tox thing xDD i dunno but thanks for your comment :) im gonna stick to veges and his favorite treat Pumpkin Seeds ! = ]

MINI QUAKKKKKKKER. :)

No avocado or febreez, especially no avocado, even one accidentaly swallowed piece will be fatal for your pretty bird.

[deathtac3]

its probabally a young quaker when i got my taylor her tail was short and growing

[putman201]

Caffeine is toxic.... i know that much... my quaker loved strands of millet, still on the twig. Yeah as the others say, no avocado or chocolate. Coffee is toxic too.... i love them fluffed up all pudgy looking :)

[OmgItsKaren]

I give mine raisins as treats she loves it, they cant have chocolate, avocados, peach Pitts ,and sunflower seeds (fatting), alcohol and apple seeds

[farshid71]

One thing is never give them chocolate or avocado those two are killers.
