I have a Quaker that will not stay on the finger. Once you get her out of her cage she runs straight up the arm and onto the shoulder. I keep my hand raised, but she still goes for the shoulder. Any suggestions? She's not mean, just a snot!

| Hi Robyn, Keep in mind that youve only had her for a week, be patient When you "up up" with her, don't leave your arm "out", bend your arm down instead. Your elbow would be against your stomach and your hand should be straight up and down, parallel with your body. It's harder to explain than I thought it would be, lol!

| I bought a Quaker three years ago, at the time he was very nasty we named him Nasty. I am so glad I bought him at that time he is now a very loveable Quaker and would love to Mate him. I then bought another Quaker and was told that he was a female. Wrong when I had him DNA tested he is a male. I bought him at a bird fair and have the feeling he was kept in a large group of Quakers. He was so shy and still is, I don't spend much time with him or Nasty whenever I can I pick Nasty up and hold him and tell him how much I love him and he seems to be content. He also tells me he loves me and gives me kisses. Manny the second Quaker I do hold and tell him how much I love him and what a pretty bird he is he doesn't reply. If I let him go he will fly to any spot he can and not come down, but I am not going to give up someday he will stay when I let him lose from my hands. I am a firm beliver that when you purchase a bird, dog, or cat they become part of you as one of your children. I wouldn't give them up for anything. I would love to hear from anyone who is a breeder and maybe has a female to sell.Or just someone who would like to talk. lscarlatan@bellsouth.net Everyone have a great day. Louise
