I've owned a quaker for two years of my life, until he was stolen
, never found since, it sucked loosing him, and it still get's me most of my time. I got him after he was weaned, from a pet store and he was my best friend. It couldn't have gone any better until that day. I want to start again, but this time trying something else. I don't support pet stores much anymore as their just farmed for cash.
I currently have on hold, a 6-7 Week Old Quaker, fully featherd all but the head, not weaned, and currently being fed by the parents (Birds no humans)
Finding a quaker around here is really hard, everyone seems to grab them just 1-2 weeks after birth, which i think is crazy.
I want to raise the bird, i don't mean i want to get it and expect it to do tricks and play around! I actually want to wean and care for the bird.
I've been reading for days and days on all information. From feeding, temperatures, weighing the birds, health checks, etc. I'll be checking with a vet and keeping recordings.
I have the patience and time for the young one, spending my days with quality care with it.
Looking around with breeders, babies have been going out at 1-2 weeks - ALL SOLD. 2-4 Weeks - ALL SOLD - 5-6-7 Weeks, All sold but the one i have on hold.
I do need some serious views and tips on what i do. Nothing's been payed for and if it's better i leave the bird go, i will, i do hate to think that if i don't will be sold to someone with no care or information at all, I want to look at what i can do bringing it up. I've cared for puppies, i've cared for baby fish! It's not going to be just like the rest raising a bird, i understand.
So Please, share me on the best decision.
Regards, Jake.
