QUAKERPARROT-MONKPARAKEET

I’ve been working on my site, jaytee’s Quaker Parrots, for a while now. I realized, there’s a small number of questions, that most people ask, so I put together a page called FAQ. On this page you’ll get many questions answered about the Quaker Parrot. Also known as the Monk Parakeet.

The Quaker Parrot has many unique traits to the parrot community.

One of them is their nesting habits.  Most parrots nest in hollowed trees or logs, or sometimes under brush. The Quaker Parrot is the only parrot that builds a stick nest. They generally use sticks and branches collected from near-by trees.

Parrots nest for breeding, and raising their young. When the newly fledged are ready to “fly the coupe”, the nest is abandoned. Quakers call their nest home, constantly building, and repairing.

Also, unique to the Quaker Parrot, is their communal living arrangements.

Some Quakers go off and start a new commune, but must attach their nest to an existing nest. These living quarters are known as “Condos”. Each condo may house several, to dozens of mated pairs. Each pair has it’s own, individual, apartment consisting of three chambers. The most obvious, would be the living room. Second, the incubation chamber, for breeding, and raising the young. Third, the front porch, found at the underside of the nest.
