Hand reared blue quaker parrot - 5 years old.
Regretful sale of our much loved quaker parrot Coco. We're moving house, and unfortunately can't take her with us.
She LOVES attention, and talks a lot - Hello Coco, How are you, Pretty girl, Good Girl, etc etc.
We really want her to go to a good home. Someone who has time to spend with her, and look after her properly. She needs to be kept inside, she's had this all her life and I don't want to change that. Also in winter, she needs to be kept warm. In saying that though, she doesn't expect over the top care (no heater, etc). We have her in the laundry and have her on floorboards during winter (rather than the tiles) to minimise the chill from the floor. If she gets too cold, she has been known to harm herself before (pulls out her feathers and will chew her legs). So she needs someone to care for her and treat her like part of the family. She is a bit of a special needs bird (at times), but if you give her the time and attention, she will be perfectly fine. She loves being out of her cage, standing on your shoulder and will nibble your ear.
She has a healthy diet of carrot, corn kernels and special parrot pellets. She can't be fed seed, its not good for her diet. She also LOVES snow peas.
She listens to music all day to keep her company, and likes singing and dancing along to the songs. She needs to be covered at night to sleep, and tells you when shes ready for bed by sqwawking (this is usually around 4pm).
She loves to have a bath in her water bowl. And needs fresh food and water every day. Her cage also needs to be cleaned regularly.
She is an amazing pet if you have the time to spend with her. The rewards are well worth it.
Her health issues are so minor, AND are unlikely to happen if she has the attention and care as above.
She will come with her cage (its her home, so this can't change). I want to keep things as normal as possible for her. I don't want her to think we've abandoned her. As well as her cage cover, food, food and water bowls, perches, etc.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Please no time wasters. She will only be going to the right home.
