Quaker Parrots Breeding Habbits?
Quakers are very much into breeding. That does not mean, putting two Quakers together, is going to give you offspring. In that sense, they’re a lot like us. We meet, we hit it off, maybe something will happen. If we don’t mesh, it aint gonna happen. A male, and female don’t just breed. For Quakers, it’s a life-long thing. The Quaker is, usually, sexually mature around 1 1/2 -2 years, although I’ve heard of females laying eggs at 6-7 months. Before breeding, an appropriate housing for the young is established. Once the nest is built, it’s time to think about raising the young. Clutch size is 4-8 eggs, with a second clutch following about 4 weeks later. The young are ready to venture from the nest, at around ten weeks old.
