Parrot Cages Bird Cages
Your Quaker Parrot's bird cage will become his "personal space". Eventually, the space surrounding the cage will be included in that personal space. Quakers can be very territorial. "This is my space!" followed by unwanted behavior, such as bites, or screaming.
Moving, and/or exchanging Toys and Perches can aid in calming this territorial behavior.
SMOOCHES, my girlfriend's Quaker said his first word about 22 hrs. after coming home. "WHAT!!!!!!!" Now, at about two years, "what r ya doin'" has become his excited/discomfort word.
For the passed year and a half, little to no change has been made in, or around his cage. He is becoming very territorial and bity. If something in the surrounding area is moved, "WHAT!!!!!!". If something new is introduced, "WHAT!!!!", usually followed by a bite, if your in reach.The other night, I tried to introduce a new toy. We were on the floor. When I brought it out, and began to play with it, he ran for the hills screaming "WHAT R YA DOIN???!!!!!!" over and over.
Making frequent changes in and out of the cage will make for a calmer stabler Quaker.
Another thing to think about, is cage size. Recommended minimum is 18x18x24. This space, basically, allows enough room to stretch the wings, and not touch beak and tail on the bars. Maybe enough space for a perch and a toy.
Your Quaker can live 20+ years. This space is comparable to you spending your whole life in the bathroom. Wouldn't you be more comfy confined to the space of the livingroom? Please consider this, when choosing a cage for your fid.
Here you can choose from many shapes, sizes, and colors. Which will suit you and your fid the best?
