Hello all,
I am thinking about purchasing a baby Quaker from a breeder and would love to get some pros and cons from someone who is experienced with Quakers. I am mostly concerned about cage aggression and noise level (I live in an apartment). Some chattering and occasional loud outbursts are fine, but constant screaming is not. I've also heard that Quakers are often one person birds and can become jealous of other people/birds. Have any of you guys experienced these issues with your quaker(s)?
I also would appreciate any advice on introducing a new bird. I currently have a very lovable 10 year old double yellow headed Amazon. I rescued him 5 years ago and he is bonded to me and my family. He is a very friendly bird and rarely shows any signs of aggression to new people or animals. However, I'm concerned that he might be jealous if I bring home a new bird. I would like the two birds to eventually get to know each other and hopefully become friends. Any thoughts? Thanks!
