Quite a handfull! They all look cute :)

[Tainoking809]

Thanks guys. However I have to supervise them a lot! the parrotlets are bullies and got in a confrontation with my quaker and lovebird. They bit the lovebirds feet in a blink of an eye making a cut on one of my lovebirds toes 🙁

Yes, parrotlettes are known to be bossy. You may have to have them out separately from the others if they continue. They are very cute though. I have a male parrotlette who can get pretty feisty too.

[Tainoking809]

Yea the male one is the bully. They are opposite from parakeets and lovies.

Parrots can be complicated. I did have an aweful experience once with breeding lovevirds and parakeets, where one of my parakeets got in the lovebirds cage and went to the nest box and got his throat sliced by female lovie it was horrible. Now my parakeet has bonded with my quaker but am a little scared should I leave them bonded or separate them? The quaker is a baby 3 months old and the parakeet is like 8 months old

Oh and when I introduced the female lovie to the quaker it was a fight the lovebird bit the quakers wing and beak, they must not be together at all under no supervision. Having Parrots is like having kids you have to supervise them all the time while out of their cage

Do you think I should let the quaker and parakeet together since they bonded? They always preen each other and give each other kisses

I am not sure that I would cage them together. The Quaker could do some serious damage to the parakeet if their relationship changes. They could be let out together and have their cages side by side. How old are they?

I would let them play together outside of their cages. When the hormones start kicking in as they go through sexual maturity is when you may have some difficulty with them being together. I always like to err on the side of caution.

My quaker is caged with my Rosella. This was not done by choice. Yoshi (quaker) would get out of his cage and lift up the lock on the food dish of Rainbow's cage go in and the door would swing shut and of course the little flap lock would fall back into place. I can't count how many times he did it before we saw him one day. We must have looked like fools standing there scratching our heads saying "How did you get in there", but we still watch them closely. Quakers can be bullies and they will own the cage. It is just in their personality. I agree with Helena, let them play outside the cage.

I missed this post. So sorry that you lost one of your birds in such a manner. I haven't had that happen to me, but I would be devastated if it did. And yes....parrots can be complicated.

Yea and it was my favorite parakeet too 😢 I remember when I caught him outside one day he flew into my house in my native country and caught him.

Oh your flock is so cute! They are all so close in size but as I was reading this thread it seems size isn't much of anything as attitude and personality is what counts.
Having more than one bird sure can be a challenge. One day I hope we take that challenge again.

Quakers are outlawed in my state :'(. I think if you can show you are a responsible care giver you should be allowed to have at least one.
