Quakers also eat things that parrots normally don't eat.Like Fish,red meat,chicken,cheese.They could survuve in the winter on dead mice,other birds.I know,I have 2 and they are VERY aggressive parrots !
-
I've seen and heard Quakers with increasing frequency in NE Queens, where they hadn't been before. I love them! Any suggestions of feeder foods/treats that they would enjoy that the pigeons wouldn't? They are really raucous, too, lol. Should I even try to attract them or will I make enemies of my neighbors who enjoy peace and quiet? Especially if the Quakers decide to nest here? I know they don't spread quickly.

The birds originally come from South America, primarily Argentina (which is has a temperate climate, unlike the warmer, tropical areas in the northern parts of the continent.) It's still pretty impressive that these birds can survive in such a cold climate, though. I think a lot of it has to do with their large, communal nests, which are able to retain a lot of heat, especially when they're full of birds.

Hopefully the cold does not kill them....
-
Where did they come from and since parrots are supposed to be tropical birds how do they survive the winters?
-
They did a video with the one in San Francisco. It was a great video. Please post when yours is done. I'd love to see it.Thanks!

Thanks much!
To answer your question, I don't know of anyone else doing a documentary project on the wild quakers. I actually met Werner Herzog recently (the director of Fitzcaraldo and Grizzly Man) and he thought this was a good idea (although he warned me that it would take a lot of time, which it is!)
