Quaker Yoda the Quaker Review

About 14 years ago i saw a little bird in a pet store, it was cheap and looked interesting. I stuck my finger in the cage and it bit me hard drawing blood. the bird had some spunk, I purchased it with my allowance (i was 16) and off i went home.

Little did i know what I would be in for with a Quaker Parrot. i was used to cocktiels and thought this bird would be the same boy was i wrong.

Noise

Destruction

Theft

Bodyguard

Jealously

all the words associated with my quaker bird. I named him Julian and I didnt know Julian was really a girl, but oh well.

She was noisy, she sang, screamed and was rarely quiet unless a towel was over her cage in my bedroom.

She broke things, tore things apart and shit on stuff she didnt like.

She stole things she did like and took it back to her cage to make "something" out of it, like art i should say out of my stuff. Hangers, pencils, paper, strings, jewelry, just about anything portable.

My boyfriend would come over and was not allowed near me because if the bird saw him it was over. Julian would come from anywhere (she was a free range bird during the day) and would attack him till blood spurted, it was fun to watch and easy way to break up with him. The jealously this bird had knew no bounds. NO ONE WAS ALLOWED NEAR ME. My poor dog was attacked every day and was only allowed near me when Julian was in her cage. She hated friends and family members because she had to go in her cage when they came in my room.

I had a CONSTANT friend, she was always on my shoulder. She would peck my earrings and bit the mole i had on my neck. She shared in my  every meal. I had no choice but to share with her.  She sang to me and after some time she learned to say "hello" and "fuck you" it was great.

I had her for 2 years and i got her a mate, after that she wasnt that into me anymore and her mate would not let her do much with me. He made her stay in the cage and he hated me, she was in an abusive relationship. I felt bad but she needed a mate to keep her happy since I started a job and dating a new man. After sometime, he let her out the cage at times to play with me. When i moved i took them with me and when i had my baby and got married they came with me. Then one day when my baby was a month old, she went into the crib and attacked my baby and took chunks from the little fingers, I was pissed and gave them away to my cousin. i feel bad. Now 14 years later, i got another one, i didnt learn the first time! But i love Quakers! It s like having a small child.
