Let me tell you the three biggest mistakes you can make with a Quaker Parrot! Quaker Parrots are exciting birds and can make wonderful pets. But, it is possible to make these mistakes and hurt your friendship.

1) Being too forceful
2) Being too impatient
3) Underrating them

Monk Parakeets are birds and do not react well to force or punishment. They are more likely to bite or flee if they are forced to do things against their desires. Being impatient can mess things up as well. Results with parrots inevitably take time. And, don't make the mistake of underrating Quaker Parrots just because they are small! They are super intelligent, capable, and loving creatures!
