Quaker Parrots The Monk Parakeet |
||||
Did you know that the little quaker (also called monks parakeet) is the only
parrot that will build it's own nest from scratch using twigs and sticks. In the
wild they can be found in large colonies
sharing huge nests with many woven
![]() Actually they are only doing what they were meant to do but here within mans realm just not appreciated for their master building skills and the places they choose to nest or their foraging for the best most tasty foods give many a farmer headaches. ![]() ![]() As for talking ability, for a small compact little parrot (they have it) as well as busily entertaining all the time. I ran across a you tube movie of a pet quaker building a huge nest out of sticks and close pins, you really must check it out, really something to see!
It can be found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3NGeghqxzY Here a quaker named "Sparky" has his own movie and proceeds to build his dream home out of close pins and sticks. Of course "Sparky" has his own channel that can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sparkyvonvogelsang You will find Sparky hard at work on a 10 day dedication to one of the largest quaker nests built indoors! Just amazing! Thank you to Linda Magee for sharing "Sparky" You Tube, for all to see. |
