Quaker parrots at a glance
A healthy Quaker parrot usually lives 20 to 30 years, so the care decisions you make now play out over a long time. Quaker parrots are omnivores, which shapes what you feed and how much. Most adults weigh around 90-150 g. They reach maturity at about 1.5 years old.
Quakers are the only parrot that builds a stick nest, and captive birds still weave obsessively. They are illegal to keep in several regions because escaped flocks establish easily. Provide nesting material and a sturdy cage.
The health problems vets see most often in Quaker parrots include fatty liver disease, feather plucking, aggression during hormonal seasons and psittacosis.
Eggs usually take 23 to 26 days to hatch.
