This is Mackerel, destroyer of worlds, collector of seeds.

Behold his majestic presence.

His voice is also one of the most annoying things that I've ever heard.

Very cute.

My destroyer of everything approves. (Cute quaker by the way!)

If my quaker were a child he'd be a spoiled fat kid that eats at mcdonalds every day.

So would you recommend a Quaker?

No, they're the most annoying birds that I've ever seen and my dad kept 2000+ parrots.

But if you can stand that they're nice.
They're extremely intelligent for a parakeet.

And I'd just like to mention that he just tried to mate with my hand.

 

[Niffarious]

Haha, I was waiting to see your response them being good pets. I've yet to meet one who wasn't such a handful for such a small bird. I doubt I would recommend one to most people

My parrotlet sticks mostly to just trying to feed me. I used to have a lovebird who...well, lived up to his name.

 

[Kazaam]

I managed to take a picture of it.

Two, actually.

 

[Trogdora]

My bird rates your bird an eight, because he can't count any higher than that.

 

[Amoeba]

9. One for every bottlecap on your desk.

do pet birds defecate on a regular basis around the house (while not in their cage)? is there a "bird diaper" that can be used? I've thought about a pet bird (species tbd after research) but the fact they can't be "potty trained" to my knowledge has always kind of dissuaded me.

I feel the same way about some of the sounds my lovebird makes. Just horrible.

 

[Dark Nexus]

See, I love the sounds mine makes. Sounds like a monkey in the jungle.

 

[Galapoheros]

I rate dat dayer burd as one outa one.

They do, and bird diapers exist.

They can be potty trained, mine was.

Sadly, I had to leave Mackerel a few months ago as the whole neighbourhood complained about noise pollution.
He went back to my uncle, who has a whole flock of quackers.

Why are you needlessly exposing your bird to predators such as cats? that's really irresponsible and an incredibly BAD idea.

 

[PlaidJaguar]

Mine was too. He flew to his cage whenever he had to poo.

I love Quakers!! They are a handful though. Not a pet for the faint of heart. Mine was such a sweetheart-- to me. He rapidly chased and attacked everybody else. My mom and brother were not thrilled. Lol

The first word he learned was "out," which he screeched loudly and repeatedly whenever he was locked in his cage. He also had a habit of climbing down my arm, out onto my fork, and eating my food before I could get it in my mouth. Little brat, that one was.

My Cats have been around birds since kittens. You make it sound like these are wild cats. They don't care for birds.
