I have a Quaker Parrot! do you know how long will take that she get used to me? I got her for a week now...

Bonnie: Very feisty, for a budgie at least. When I first got her, she was braver than Clyde, but she was very cautious around me. I've only been bitten less than a handful of times by my birds. She only has bit me once, and that was when I first got her. It took months, but now she is actually friendlier to me, and out of the two budgies, she was the first to learn the command step up.

She is such a sweet heart. When I have the birds out, she always perches on my back. That way, she can preen my hair and my ears.

She's my best flier and always needs to be every where at once. I always see her doing crazy stunts in the cage. She loves going on the swing upside down, and swinging it close enough to the hanging millet, that she can get a nibble every time she swings close to it. She's crazy, and I love it.

I think it's safe to say she's my smartest bird. She's really clever and will often figure out before Clyde or Einstein. I have toys with moving parts for my birds. I believe it gives them extra mental stimulation. At first I bought a couple for Einstein, but he never really understood them for months. But the moment I gave the budgies one, she went right to it, and figured it out in no time.

She always tries new things. Converting her food was never a problem. She always needs to try new things. And the great thing is, birds often learn from example. Once one tries something, they all gotta try it.

Clyde: Clyde is my little scared-y cat. He was extremely nervous when I first got him. However, he was never aggressive. He let me handle him first, however, I could tell he was scared.

He has grown a lot more confident over this past year. Like Bonnie, he will do targeting and will step up. But. he still is a bit timid.

He will preen me, but only after Bonnie starts. He will never instigate a preening session with me.

I often think of Clyde as a sheep, and Bonnie is a shepherd. He needs her. She is his protection. Bonnie will often times go off on her own little adventures, leaving poor Clyde alone. She starts crying out for her, and will fly desperately to find her.

Clyde will never start a fight. Bonnie always to always be testing her limits with Einstein. But Clyde is pretty mellow with him. I kind of think of them as buddies.

Einstein: He is my baby. And I am his mommy. He adores me. Ever since I first brought him home, he has cuddled me and preened my eyelashes. He is never a bully, rather he sometimes gets bullied. Bonnie will go up to him and chase his tail, and he'll come flying to me. He's a very shy little bird, and will only really sing for me.

He has never bitten anyone. and I don't think he'd ever hurt anything. To people who know how to handle birds, he will actually go to quite easily without any aggression. He has only met two other bird-savvy people before, and he stepped up and perched on them without problems.

He is an awful flier. All of my birds came to me clipped, but Einstein has had the worst time flying. I think part of this has to do with his clumzy awkwardness. He is a goof ball, and he has horrible balance. He's had so many different landings, from power slides, to latching on to my head. But I love him

He is the least adventurous out of all my birds. He is scared of new things, and will often avoid them until I've had to prove it was safe, or he saw the other birds doing it.

I think this is an awful thing to say, but he is my favorite. He is my companion, and has done nothing but love me unconditionally since I got him.

I'm tired of ranting. All I've got to say though, is that I can't wait to build deeper bonds with my birds in the upcoming years.

Mine... well I have no idea, really. He's very attentive and will fly to me when I'm eating food. When I'm done eating, he'll fly away hahahah. Recall training? It's all on his terms, I've given up.
Sometimes he's sweet, but mostly very independent.

playfull, acrobatic like but also cudley around 5pm

my gcc is a brat, though a lovable one. Rainbow has a clear idea of what she wants and she knows how to manipulate people to get that. She is very cuddly and loves to snuggle up in the evenings. She also wants to explore as soon as she feels comfortable in new places and likes nothing better than beating up inanimate objects.

Scooter and Rainbow would probably get along well! He's kind of big for his britches sometimes, he knows what he wants, and the only thing he seems to be afraid of is anything sticklike moving around. But he's also super-adorable and can be quite cuddly. When he wants to come out or come over to me, he sweet talks me. "Pretty bird,pretty scoo-scoo, pretty scoo-scoo" then he wolf whistles.

Scotty is a different kettle of fish and we're still learning about him. He's more independent and also more subtle. A bit like Loki or Puck in some ways. I'll have to think about it some more... he's a little harder to sum up.

I've only had mine for four months, she is about 6.5 months old. I'd say her personality is curious yet sometimes shy, very affectionate but demanding and bratty when she doesn't get her way! She reminds me of a 2 year old baby girl.
