I have a green Quaker that is about 4 to 5 years old. I rescued him from what I would call a bad situation. He has some issues and has improved some. The problem is that I don't have the time to give him the big amount of attention that he needs.

He is cage aggresive and doesn't like to come out. Once he is out of the cage. He doesn't like to be touched/hold very much. He will tolerate a little, but not much. He also bites. Hard!

I seems to have an anxiety issue and I feel he needs to be in a home with someone like a homemaker or retired person that can get him out of the cage for hours a day and work with him. An hour or two a day isn't enough. He needs a lot of human interaction for him to change.

I'm considering finding him a new home but only if it is to someone that I know will be a better situation for him.

I have other birds, so keeping him isn't a problem if I can't find him a better situation than I can provide.

I wish you the best of luck...

What a sad decision to have to make. How many times has this poor little guy been rehomed do you know? If it has been a few times its no wonder he is like this if he hasnt had any sort of stability in his life. Very sad. I hope you find him a forever home with someone who can work with him like you said and if so you would have done the best thing you could have for him. Good luck.

To my knowledge he has only had one other home. When I got him the intention was to get him out of the situation he was in so I could find him another home. Of course I got attached to the little guy and figured what is one extra cage. Honestly, thats why I'm not overly pressed to rehome him. He's fine here and is at least in a MUCH better situation than before.

I wanted to be honest in the post with his issues so there are no surprised, but I hope I didn't make him sound like a bad bird. He is quite amusing actually. I think he just needs someone that can spend a lot of time with him. When he isn't getting attention that is when he gets moody and he can scream quite loud. lol

I thought about putting him in with my other quaker. My other quaker would love it. I'm just not so sure he would and I wouldn't want to do anything that could cause injury to either one. I know they can be very cage aggresive from time to time.
