Ok heres my question. We have 2 Quakers, Pauley and Luigi. Luigi was great when we first brought him home, they both were. But now it seems like he is angry at us all the time. Trying to snip and scream at us. We had the parakeets cage in the same room as them and I decided that Luigi was trying to stake his territory and wanted them gone. So we moved them to a different room. I had hoped that would change his behavior. He still seems pretty grumpy. Once out of his cage he for the most part is ok. Not quite as snippy. Paulie on the other hand is great although I notice every one in awhile I see her try to snip and think this is because she sees Luigi do it. I don't react to him and talk calmy when he is doing this. I try and ignore him and just talk to Paulie and he comes over and wants to get in on the action. Should I just give he time to work this out on his own? Or is there something we can do?

Thanks for your help.

Are they housed together? If so, this is probably the problem. Once parrots bond to one another they begin to lose their bond with you, and eventually would rather be with eachother than you. Especially if they are a male/female pair, it is breeding season and they are probably wanting to be left alone to 'start their family'

tara rose summed it up already
You might have to separate them
You didnt mention wing clips have they been clipped as well?

Something else worth mentioning...

Some Quakers can be very territorial around their cages...even with the one they love So if he is fine away from his cage, I might chalk it up to that.

Okay we are not sure of the sex. We just call them male and female. We have brought them from someone that we don't think spent much time with them and from what we understand they have always been together. Not from same clutch though. I believe their wings have been done although I think they need to be done again along with nails and beaks. We are very new to this so any input would be helpful. I know where the previous owner bought the pair I might try there also and see what they say. When we get them out it is hard to even let either them get out of sight of the other one. They just scream for each other.

So they are in the same cage then? If so, get another cage of the same size, or two new ones, and put them in those cages side by side. Then for play time they can be out together on a stand or whatever, though probably you want to try to work one-on-one with them as much as possible. That's what I would do to start- beyond that I don't know. Good luck with them, though.

Thank you all very much for your help. Now I'll have to talk to the husband about getting another cage. I mentioned this to him earlier and he told me no that they are social and need to be together.

Have you been giving both of them consistent attention, out of the cage time to play and fresh water every day. I clean gizmos water 3-5 times a day and that is no exaggeration.

They are out all the time. We leave the door open when we don't have time to actually play or the girls will sit and love with them. So they are out alot. We change the water always twice a day sometimes more on days we are home more. Luigi has seem to get better not biting at us as much. I think it helped that I moved the parakeets out of the room. I will just take time I guess and hopefully talk I can talk my husband into another cage for them. They are in the same one.
