Hello! I'm going to be purchasing a QP for my wife and kids (and myself ). I haven't found any breeders really close to me. I'm in Peoria, IL. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places! I have been browsing the forum and everyone seems nice and knowledable. I look forward to become a part of the community and sharing our experiences with you all. Thanks!

Willie

Hello Willie,

Have you had parrots before? Qp's are great!!!! What made you decide to get a QP? How old are your kids?
Are there other pets in the house. Will you be able to cook with out teflon? LOL ( it took me awhile )

I hope you find your new baby soon. Do you have a cage already picked out?

Welcome to the forum. I was born and raised in Peoria, IL. I moved from there back in 1993. I dont know of any Breeders in Peoria, but I think there is one in Rockford. Try googling Quaker Breeders In Illinois and see what you get. You may also want to try http://www.birdbreeders.com/

I get my baby QP next Wednesday June 25th. Good luck in your search and you will find that everyone here is knowledgable on QP's and will make you feel right @ home. Good luck on your quest.

Hi Willie, Welcome to the forum!!!

I don't live in that area but I wouldn't be surprised if someone on here can steer you in the right direction.

BTW, My QP thinks you have a really wonderful name!

Welcome to the forum Willie and family. Hope you find a baby soon. They are special and I know you will be in love with your new bird in the first 30 seconds and forever after! Keep us updated. We'll be watching for you and your new baby.

I am getting a baby Quaker from this aviary. I have been in communication with Autumn, the owner, for weeks now, and am quite pleased with what I know of her. I think she may have a baby ready to go very shortly. She is quite close to you I think.
Tell her Margaret sent you!

Hi, I'm Willie's wife Samantha. Thanks for the tip about flyingclrsbirds. We were able to get ahold of her. We will soon be welcoming a QP from her home pretty soon!! We are very excited! My grandma had a QP, so we are somewhat familiar with them. My sons are almost 3 & 5. They got along great with my g-ma's QP, so I'm hoping that we have no problems with a new one. We have no other pets. We are going to look at cages this weekend.

Welcome to the forum Willie, Samantha and family, it's an exciting time for sure and yes you are going to love having a quaker of your own to spoil.

Willie, Samantha and kids....

I received my QP MANSION yesterday and was very impressed with the quality and size for $ 159.95 delivered! It's 12 bedrooms, 4 perches and 6 baths!







Enjoy your new little "Green Monster"!
