Often referred to as "clowns," Quaker parrots are known for their fun-loving, comical personalities and their energetic, spunky nature. These birds can come in a variaty of colors such as shades of Green, Blue, White (Albino) and Yellow (Lutino). Not everyone can meet their care needs, as they prefer a lot of attention. But for the right person, a Quaker parrot can make an affectionate and entertaining companion. 
 
If you're looking to adopt a bird that can talk, then a quaker parrot might be right up your alley. Quakers are known for their exceptional ability to mimic human speech. Not only can they learn a diverse vocabulary of words and sounds, but they also tend to be able to speak very clearly and often rival larger parrot species in terms of the clarity of their voices.
While not every Quaker parrot is guaranteed to talk, individual birds have greater odds of excelling at mimicry than birds of many other species. Overall, many owners say their Quakers are little chatterboxes when it comes to mimicking, as well as their natural calls. It's usually not enough to bother neighbors because they don’t have the ear-piercing screams of some other species, such as conures. But they will make their presence known in a home.
