Beautiful birds!

They are not wild, they're feral birds. Native birds are protected but not these birds like starlings or quakers.

sierra is right! The best thing to do is to adopt from a rescue center!
I dearly LOVE QUAKERS. Remember they can live to be thirty years of age!
A hand fed Quaker baby or adult bird may be waiting for you!
Always remember to NEVER turn a pet bird loose! "Parrots in the City" is a wonderful book to read.

OBTW-I am licensed.

You will have to excuse me. I was thinking of the Quakers in Conn. that were being gassed! The nests were being torn down and the babies had to be rescued.
I certainly hope that is not going on in Ill.

It is illegal to catch or own wild birds in Chicago! And sometimes we should just let nature be...these are families units and you would be robbing their nests! Quakers are not an endangered species. Why cage them and put them in prison when they enjoy a life free of human interference?
There are a lot of parrots in refuges that need new homes -- these are the ones that 'saving!'

Is it illegal to catch or own quakers in Chicago? Would I be able to take babies from a nest and handfeed them myself(I am an expirienced handfeeder)?
If your going to complain and tell me what a horrible person I am for thinking about doing this then your wasting your time because I will just ignore you and not take your negative opinion in consideration.
I always read about how people kill them and consider them pests so if I took a few babies it would seem like im actully saving them.

As far as Ive seen on 3 occasions, the wild quaker population is thriving. There is supposed to be an endowment set up by the late Harold Washington, hence the reason the parrots are still there. These guys are a hardy bunch and scattered as far west as Washington and as far east as New York, Conneticut and New Jersey. Ive met people who try to save them by setting up laws and by teaching, never by poaching.

As far as I know, you can have them.
As COURSE you are SAVING THEM!!
And don't let ANYONE tell you any DIFFERENT!

@wingnutwally Just an FYI, trapping of wild birds is illegal without proper licensing, please do not encourage wrong doing on this page as my video's are here to inform the public, nothing else.

As far as I know, there are no restrictions. If they were to make them illegal in the state I live in, God help anyone that tries to get my babies!
A lot of what has been said about them being pests are rumor and just DOWNRIGHT LIES!!

I understand, I know a few people around the US that fight for these birds, they are not here by choice but by human greed and irresponsibility, I have 3 rescued quakers (from a shelter) myself. Saving them from bad situations is one thing, poaching them is quite another. If people have trouble understanding something, doing away with it is a normal reaction, hence a lot of good people trying to protect them =D
