Description
Quaker (or Monk) Parakeets are beautiful and intelligent birds. They come in a variety of colors and are larger than the typical Parakeet. The term Parakeet is actually a descriptive term for the body type of these parrots.
- - Quakers thrive on human interaction and are quick to mimic sounds and words
- - Need activities, such as swinging and climbing, to keep them busy
- - Bond to their pet parents and require several hours of attention a day
- - Naturally take naps during the day, so a quiet place with a dim light is ideal
- - Provide foraging toys, which provide important mental stimulation
- - Birds should be socialized daily by the pet parent
- - Can be kept alone to bond with pet parent or in pairs to bond with each other. Different types of birds should not be housed together

A well-balanced Quaker Parakeet diet consists of specialized pellets (should make up 60 to 70% of diet), plus fresh vegetables, fruits and small amounts of fortified seeds. Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded.
Avoid non-stick cookware and appliances, as well as cleaning agents, as they can release fumes hazardous to your bird's health.
