They are really sweet babies, so cute and make a sound like they are laughing, while at the same time they shake their little heads. When they were tiny, their grey down was so soft and fuzzy. I handfed babies from day 10, and enjoyed every minute of it. I also had another baby quaker that I kept, her name was Kelly. But she would carry on when I left, I think she like talking to the other birds better.
Boy quakers can scream when they are scared.
But usually they are pretty quiet. They are the only parrot that builds their nest and have colonys for nests. In the wild, they build huge nests and live together. That is why it is against the law to have them in some states. They are hardy litte birds that can destroy a crop of wheat or corn in a hurry.
