Blue Quaker Parrot [Male]

 Meet Skye. Our beautiful DNA Sexed Male Blue Quaker Parrot. He's a doll. Recently added to our family, He's been a joy to have around. He is still getting to know us but is already trying to talk. He mumbles when you talk to him as if he is trying to learn the words you are saying.

He spends a good deal of time outside the cage and enjoys hanging around while you do dishes, make dinner or just get a bowl of ice cream. One of his favorite treats is Cheerios!! He'll bob his head, shake his tail feathers and even SQUAWK for a cheerio. Silly Birdy.

We would like to thank Jeri of Jeri's Bird House for allowing us to bring this wonderful creature home with us!! If you are interested in a Parrot and live in Illinois, visit http://www.jerisbirdhouse.com/ today and see what Jeri has to offer. All are handraised and very friendly.

 

OH, and dont forget to say HI to her Cockatoo while there... he tends to get a bit jealous when he's NOT the center of attention!!!
