      You are correct! They are top 5. Near the bottom but still one of the best.

    I had a Quaker in my early 20s and was not prepared. It was so bitey all the time. It never let me pet or touch, for the longest time I didn’t even think it liked me. It would wake me up in the morning by hopping out of its cage and biting my earrings out. The first time I realized it was cool with me was I started having company over and it would fly around this huge room but it would only land on my shoulder. Then immediately bite me.

    I’ve had a Quaker for 13 years and just recently bought another! They have so much personality and are very entertaining. Unfortunately, the older one only likes me and is known as the “demon bird” to everyone else, but my family and I have figured out a solid routine to keep everyone, including him, happy and safe. Sometimes a little patience goes a long way

      I found an escaped pet outside one time around Judi last summer and kept him for about 2 1/2 weeks before I was able to find him a permanent home with someone who had another rescue of probably about the same age. They’ve been inseparable ever cents, but I have to say I still missed a little guy. He was an obvious escaped pet because within a few minutes of finding him having him poked and prodded by a vet to make sure that he was OK because it’s not normal to pick up a parrot off the ground, he was sitting on my shoulder and trying to premiere, and just being the most cuddly bird I’ve ever met. The downside is he was trying to Prien off several birth marks, and those don’t come off with just soap and water.😂

      @NormalBirdLady Před rokem +4

      He's not dirty. He's just 22 years old and doesn't preen as well as he used to.
      It will happen to your bird, too, if it's blessed with longevity.
      All long living captive parrots will need help. Especially if kept singly.
      He is not dirty.
      He is beautiful.

    • @FioreCiliegia
      @FioreCiliegia Před rokem +1

      It’s natural it’s just something that happens when they molten they can’t always get the feathers on their head to fix them themselves. If you’ve got multiple birds, you’re a lot less likely to see pinfeathers, but all species of birds get them even ducks and chickens.

    • @JUMALATION1

      It's not messing, it's helping them feeling less itchy. They "fix" their own feathers on their bodies but the neck and head is impossible for them to reach with their beaks

    • @cheeseandquackers8342

      Parrots can’t break their own pinfeathers on their head, that’s why they’re touching the feathers

    • @helentee9863
      @helentee9863 Před rokem +1

      1. This isn't a 'problem', so certainly doesn't require paying out for a vet .(if you took your bird to a vet for pin feathers, they would consider you a fool)
      2. The birds enjoy being groomed,and the owners enjoy doing the grooming.
      It helps develop close emotional bonds.
      Perhaps you don't bond with your birds, if you don't l feel sorry for them(and you)

    • @JovanDacic
      @JovanDacic Před 2 měsíci

      Parrots will groom each other's feathers in difficult to reach areas. It's called "allogrooming" and in the absence of a partner parrot, the parrot's human family can fill that role and help them shed their itchy pinfeather casings.
