Hi. First of all, thank you much for all of your valuable information.
It is greatly appreciated.
RE: Do You Think That Birds Are Unhappy in a Bird Cage?
I have had a total of three birds: a cockatiel, a quaker parakeet, and a Senegal parrot since 1990.
Quaker parrots a.k.a. monk parakeets are unique little birds.
Feathered factoid – Quakers are the only parrot that builds a nest.
Not just any nest – a condominium nest.
Quaker parakeets nests are so large that they accommodate dozens of birds who share body warmth enabling them to endure the harshness of winters in Chicago and other major cities around the country.

Is there ever a chance my Quaker Parrot Blu will warm up to my other birds?
He just turned 1, I’ve had him since he was a baby.
We got Winnie the Cockatiel as a baby about 6 months after Blu and just a few weeks ago Chip the parakeet joined our flock.
Blu isn’t as aggressive w/Winnie at this point, but he used to stalk her.
He loved pulling a feather or biting her toes and as a result, Winnie is scared of Blu and little baby Chip.
