We currently have 8 quakers up for adoption at the Center. These guys have a lot of personality packed into a mid-sized body. They are playful, intelligent, and can be great talkers. They can be wonderful companions in a home with older children. They can be loud and messy, like most parrots!

The website of the Quaker Parakeet Society has lots of information on these delightful birds!
Quakers are illegal in some states because they are very adaptable and have established feral flocks as far north as Chicago! They are considered to be agricultural pests.
If you've been thinking about adding a quaker to your flock, consider adoption!
UPDATE on several birds discussed in previous days: Cassie (lovebird) has been adopted! Everyone else is still looking for their new family.
