Quaker Parrot and Her Play Yard
Keiko, our new 3 month old baby Quaker Parrot is living the good life. Her homemade play gym had an upgrade to it. We used the plastic grid that comes with A/C filters. It is perfect to cut and use as ladders. Once again, we used Carefresh bedding for the bottom of his play yard – makes cleanup so much easier and lasts longer. The gym was constructed of PVC pipe which was bolted into the bottom of a plastic bin. Perfect for clean-ups and the mess stays inside the bin. He loves it. He stays there all day, as long as I am home and sleeps in his cage at night. What more could a Quaker baby ask for? All this, and lots of love and attention.

You really should. Just get those plastic containers and use your imagination. Also, those ‘zip ties’ are really cool. Always find uses for those. Good luck and post a vid when you make one.
did you make it, or buy it?? it’s awesome!
Hi, and thanks. Hubby had the pvc pipe around and made it. He’s great at things like that.
Read my description – click on the ‘more info’ and it will tell you all about it.
If ya make one—post a vid. Would love to see another one.
Lol… I would love to have the talent to build something like that! My bird would have LOVED it! oh, and lol… every one, I think, once in a while gets mixed up with food and water lol.
( I know I do! )
Logan!
thats seriously really cool
i seriously love ur videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love watching u with ur animals!!! it is the sweetest thing<3
ya thanx for the idea!!
Keiko definately has a sweet gym! My sweet blue quaker Charlie flew away November last year (my house-mate’s nephew accidently let him out). I miss the cuddles so much… You are so lucky to have Keiko.
Love the name too, what made you think of Keiko as a name?
Thanks, but sorry to hear about your quaker flying away. You should really get another one – they are the best little parrot I’ve ever owned.
I always look up names and their meanings on the computer. I loved the way Keiko sounded (I pronounce it Kay-Ko) and when I saw the meaning – it was settled. It means Blessing.
Charlie chose me, he had a former owner who couldn’t keep him. Sadly he also chose to leave, he didn’t have to fly away, but I guess he was so excited to be flying outside, that, when he turned to come home, he didn’t know where ‘home’ was.
Quakers are rare here, especially the blue quakers. If I ever find another, I’ll morgage my house for it! They are the most special birds… Treasure yours!
You could also make a large pouch on your shirt and carry her along everywhere. not sure if that would be safe though.
I don’t know if they like it, but my quaker parrot used to LOVE being put inside my pants pockets (they were very loose and big) when I went out. He would try to get himself but we’d end upside down, so I had to help him. Parrots are freaking awesome.
She is so sweet, and just a BABY! Thank you for sharing!
let me know when she talks
Hi, she’s over a year old now. She hasn’t really talked – although she whispers the whole time I’m talking, especially if she’s on my shoulder.
The one thing she does do, is the ‘wolf whistle’ when she wants whatever I’m eating. And then when I put her in her cage and she still wants my attention, she really gives a ‘hey you, where ya goin?’ whistle. It’s really cute.
Hi there oh yeah… is that true that female dont talk much…i’m getting my new baby in about two months waiting til their ready…i’m really excited bout that…in case if i got a female quaker just wanna know if they’l ever talk..
cheers
Actually I don’t think it matters male or female. The other one I have, was thought to be a male, so I named him Charlie. He’s actually a female – but Charlie still works. My point, Charlie says all kinds of things – gimme kiss, good boy, step up, no bite – I don’t like that,, don’t cry Raffle — these were all from the elderly lady that had to give him up. I’m trying to get the talking on film and then upload it
wow thats a good idea….
Hello! Do you sell those playstands?? It looks perfect for my quaker. I bought her two already and she doesn’t seem to like being on them….Anyway, I would buy one if you are selling them. Thanks!
