In order to keep your quaker YOUR pet, there are a few guidelines to consider.

1. Keep your quaker in a cage by itself. Sharing cages with other birds of any species can lead to behavior problems.
2. Your quakers cage should be placed in a low traffic area, like a spare room, or an Adults bedroom. Do NOT place the cage in the family room or a place where the quaker will do the majority of its interaction with people.
3. The cage should be no higher than shoulder height to the shortest member of your family, that will regularly be visible to the quaker, while the quaker is in the cage.
4. Play and interact with your quaker parrot in a place where its cage is NOT visible.
5. Shoulder perching can lead to behavior problems. It is a practice best avoided.
6. Interact with your quaker parrot on a regular routine and stick to that routine always. Feeding, Human Interaction, and Sleeping are things that must be routine. A sudden routine change can cause stress, as well as behavior problems.

It is not that you shouldnt play with your quaker every chance you get, it is just that the more time you spend with it on a routine schedule, the more it will come to expect.
7. Never allow the quaker to roam free. This could cause it to become territorial beyond its cage as well as put the bird in mortal danger. lack of SUPERVISION is the mother of all bird death causes.
8. Never scream, hit, or spray your bird with water. Birds are prey animals. Their memory is reserved for their survival. One incident could cause a bird to never look at you the same.
9. Most Importantly Never release a quaker into the wild. Quakers are wonderful pets with a potential for environmental impact. If you are unable to care for it or to tame an unruly bird, please contact the webmaster for rescue and rehabilitation information.
