Overview

Quaker parrots, also called monk parakeets, are small, sturdy parrots from South America. They are known for their confident personalities and their ability to learn words and sounds.

Personality

Quakers are typically curious, playful and very engaged with their people. Many enjoy routines and like to be part of household activity.

Typical characteristics

  • Grey "Quaker" chest and face with green body in the natural coloring
  • Several color mutations exist, including blue and other variations
  • Sturdy, compact build
  • Known for building and arranging things in their cage

Care

Quakers do best with a roomy cage, plenty of toys to shred and rearrange, and daily time with their family. Rotating toys helps keep them busy.

Diet

A quality pellet base with fresh vegetables, some fruit and limited seed is a commonly recommended diet. Ask about the food your bird is currently eating.
