Hello everyone... We are still looking for that special quaker to add to the family. I am willing to drive up to 2 hrs (or more depending) to pickup the new family member. As many of you know, I had adopted a Sun Conure from a woman in the Chicago area.. well, that ended badly when after a month, she took Skittles back. Now, my poor skye is heart broken. I have been looking for months now. I am interested in the Cinns, Blues but would consider a green. I have the cage and accessories all ready. I just need the bird. I can't afford much as I lost several hundred when I drove over 4 hrs to get the conure and was never refunded the money. I am just looking for a sweet bird to add to the family.

I would also consider larger parrots but would need cage and accessories. Thank you

Hi there ..

Check Lycos and Kiiji for the Chicago area .. I've seen quite a few listings for Quakers over the past week, maybe you'll have some luck with one of those ads.

Are you checking Craigslist every day? I've seen Quakers on there in the last few weeks. Farmer City's a long way from Chicago, but I've been watching the Springfield, Decatur, Bloomington and Champaign Craigslists and have seen at least three or four Quakers, plus a few other kinds of birds. A couple of them were scams (the bigger birds) but I think the Quakers and a Grey were for real. That would still be a drive for you, but not as far as Chicago. There's been a blue fronted Amazon in our paper (Decatur) for about a month and we called and she said he wasn't hand tame and "wouldn't" come out of his cage so he'd be a project. He's on Craigslist now, too.

Thanks to you both.. Yes, I have been keeping an eye out on Craigslist. Most of the birds on there have been scams... I hate people like that... UGH... I will continue to keep looking but thought I'd post here just incase someone needs to re-home and is close to me... at least they could see the bird off and on.... Plus, I do not what to go through what I did in Oct last year... that was terrible!!!

Thanks though.. will look!!

actually looking at your location we have someone here needing homes for some of her flock. have a look in this section and contact her she is located somewhere in IL

How far are you away from St. Louis? I am looking to rehome Annie. email me at app2ride @ yahoo. com

I am about 2 hrs from St. Louis. We travel there often for drs appts with my daughter at childrens. We also have friends down there I sent you an email so I will wait for your reply. I'd love to see pics and more information. You can email me or PM me.. either way is find

Thanks!!

I have been keeping my eye out on www.kijiji.com, Craigslist and local pet lists, groups and Yahoo. We are still looking for that perfect quaker (or 2) to welcome into our family. I would love a cinnamon and/or blue but would consider a green as well. If you or anyone you know is looking to re-home with a small (<$100) fee, I would love to talk with you! Thanks.

OMG I am so excited.. I will be getting a Cinnamon Quaker sometime this week. I am waiting on a reply from the breeder. Will let y'all know once I hear... WhooHoo...

congrats! can't wait to see pics!!

Well, he's finally here... I went and got Sugar lastnight! Here he is!!



He is a Dark Eyed (Palid) Cinnamon. Skye (Blue QP) Just loves him. Says Baby everytime I am holding him LOL.. Gotta love those QPs

B E A U T I F U L !!!

Awww. that is wonderful! Don'tcha just love it when things work out?

Congrats!!! How are they getting along? I always wonder what Roxy would think of another baby!! Keep us posted!

Congrats! He's adorable!

They are getting along amazingly!! They chat back and forth across the room. They do the ever so loud (lol) flock call. Skye laughs at Sugar all the time when he bobs his head around fast LOL. I am very pleased with him (both of them!) Right now they are both sound asleep

UPDATE on Sugar!!

Sugar said his first word on Friday -- BUS. He sits and watches out the window and when the kids' school bus comes, they both yell BUS.. so, Sugar has picked up on that... It's really cute.. although, now he thinks every BIG truck is a bus too LOL...

He also said "Good Boy" this morning... I was so excited... he is learning...

Skye is doing amazing with him. He has learnt "Sugar", "Step Up", "Baby Birdie", "Good Boy Sugar", "Sugar, You Stupid", "Bye Bye", "Hi Crystal", "Momma", "Skye Gooood Boy", "Mama Baby". I think those are the most recent. They are both learning and laughing.

When we came home yesterday from the drs with my daughter, Skye and Sugar were laughing at the dogs whining LOL... Then Skye says, "Dumb Dogs" and Sugar bobs his head up and down...

I love my FIDS!!!

ROFLMAO!!! Too Funny!! I'm so glad things have worked out so well for you!

What a great story so happy thing are woring out for you. Can we see some pictures of them.

I think that quakers learn words quicker when they are around other quakers kind of like kids do. We try and try to teach them (both kids and birds) but they learn at their own rate but seem to do better in the company of others. Just an observation of mine.

Congrets on getting Sugar. He a very pretty boy.
