Hello,
I am a bird lover that is new to this forum. I would like a bit of advice if possible. When I was younger I had Budgies and then Cockatiels as I got older. Always one bird at a time. I’ve always wanted a Conure or Quaker and was looking to adopt when I found a senior African Grey in need of a home. My family fell in love with him immediately and truly cherished our time with him.
Unfortunately, he had more health problems than we originally thought and we only had him a few months. He really made a big impact on our lives.
I am now starting to look for another bird, but I’m just so confused as to what to get. Do I get the Conure or Quaker? I guess I’m afraid that I might be disappointed after having a grey – a bird that can actively communicate with you is pretty special. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Aug 4, 2015 at 12:54 #429713Well, it depends… i have a parakeet and a turquoise green cheek conure, both of whom are VERY tame and adorable. ;P My dad and brother had a blue Quaker parrot (also known as a monk parakeet) but had to find him a new home due to how noisy he was. And i mean that bird would squawk ALL DAY. And trust me, they weren’t very pretty sounds either. D: I’m not trying to scare you away from owning one though, as they can be very lovely birds. i guess it just depends on how far you are willing to go noise-wise… I know you said the other type of bird you were considering is a conure… were you interested in a specific kind of conure? There are many different types, but the quieter species are the Green Cheeks. They are absolutely PERFECT imo and from personal experience. They are very cuddly and entertaining birds. My GGC, Kiwi, will even throw her toys up in the air while laying on her back. XD She almost NEVER makes any sounds even close to loud. So basically, imo you should get a green cheek conure hands down. 🙂
P.S.- i added a picture of my two birds. ;PAug 4, 2015 at 1:01 #429715ok, well i just now realized that the picture is sideways XD oh well… and i also forgot to mention that my GCC can say quite a few words including: "Good morning" (only in the morning), "Good night" (only at bedtime), "Whatcha do’n?", (and when i ask HER ‘Whatcha do’n?," she will reply) "Nothing" or "Stuff" (depending on what she’s doing), "How are you?", "Hello" (of course), and even says "Ninja!" whenever she sees my cat. XD
Aug 4, 2015 at 1:07 #429717i forgot to ALSO add that a GCC’s voice is kinda quiet and gravely when they talk, so sometimes only the owner knows what he/she is saying. XD The Quaker did talk a little, but surprisingly my GCC talked quite a bit more than he did! XP The Quaker would only say "hello" and "Whatcha do’n?" However, it was a little bit more understandable to someone who was not familiarized with the bird.
