Hi my name is Angie, I live in Victoria, Australia.

I found this forum a while ago when I was interested in getting a quaker for my daughter. Well it turns out that this sunday we are have a breeding pair shipped over from adelaide. A blue male (he is handraised and tame) Billy and a female green split to blue (she is parent raised and not so tame) her name was Woman but I will call her Bell.

The previous owner had to sell all his birds because his business became very busy, but his quakers he wanted to go to a good pet style of home, we had talked on another bird forum and he remembered me and my daughter and wants us to take them off his hands free of charge, so they go to a good loving home.

I will post pics when they arrive and are settled in

We already have a breeding pair of Indian Ringnecks Mickey and Kai (blue and lutino) a pet Lutino male named Jordan, a pet handraised baby of our breedig pair called pickle (he is green of course hense the name). We also have a cockatiel name kiely, a lovebird named Jasper and two budgies Stella and Brinly. ok I think thats it.

Ok off to do some reading up on these little beauties.

Welcome aboard...In no time hopefully you'll have some little baby quakers to hand feed and make into some good pets. Congrats.

Hi Angie, I'm glad you found this forum too. Welcome!!

The quakerparrots.com forum is a virtual quaker parrot encyclopedia; and better because you can ask specific questions and get specific answers.

I look forward to seeing the pix!

Welcome to another QP lover from Victoria.

Actually it's a different Victoria in another hemisphere but still on the same planet...........

You are going to love it here.

Best wishes to you and all your fids.

Lizz and Chica the wonder bird

Welcome to the Forum

welcome to the flock!

Welcome to the zoo! Glad to have ya!

Welcome, Angie!

Welcome!! Nice to meet you and your flock! You'll love it here!

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone. I am sure I will have plenty of questions and as soon as I find time, between kids and fids, I will read more. There is actually one bird that sold me on wanting a quaker, his name is twizzlebeak, I think it was this forum I saw his video's on.

I pick the fids up on Sunday, 6 days to go

Oh yes, This is where you found Twizzlebeak. I think Twizzy inspired a lot of us to choose quakers.

I recorded part of one of his vidoes to use as the sound for my incoming emails in Outlook Express. Now every time I get an email, Twizzlebeak lets me know with "Look! Look at that!!".

Welcome to the forum! I too can't wait to see pictures!


QPDad! That's too funny!

Welcome to the forum

Well now isn't that a cute idea QPdad....Never knew that could be done....But a computer whiz can do most anything I would say....



Welcome Angie, so glad to have you here with us...And yes, I would have to say that Twizzie is our little mascot, or at least I've adopted him to be... He certainly is an awesome quaker.....

Looking forward to hearing more about you and the flock.....

I posted this image in the gallery but here they are also:-


First picture of Billy & Bell

They are just beautiful...Their color is so vibrant.....

Now which one is Billy and which one is Bell by color that is.....

Gorgeous! And welcome!

Billy - he is the blue
Bell - she is the green split to blue



They are so soft and have the cutest little growl, they sound a little like seagulls when they do that. Been spending some time talking to them and watching them preen and love each other .. its so cute.

Your babies are beautiful. Welcome to the forum. And it looks like I share a name with one of your fids.

what happens when you breed a blue to a normal.

With Billy and Bell .. The babies will be predominantly blue with the chance of the occassional green, as Bell is green split to blue.
