3. To the tune of

Im'a little tea pot....
I'm a little Quaker green and stout
open up my cage and let me out
better pick me up or else I'll squawk
rub my tummy and then I'll talk


Quakers are great talkers and a lot of fun

They sound beautiful.

:loveya:

What kinds of birds? How did they learn the song?

4. They are Quaker parrots

the only parrots that build nests
we started teaching the baby arlo the song on the day we met him, about 10 days old. Ollie was a year old when we rescued her and she too was subjected to learning it. It sounds so cute when they sing it together

5. My magical ESP Powers allow to predict that kind of bird...

Was I right, huh huh? Was I? :-)

I'll try to link to a site with a picture for those not familiar with the cute Quaker Parakeet:

Some people call them Monks. There is a breeding population in New Orleans, they are a fun bird to watch in the wild and I hear they make great pets also because they are so social.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

6. Thanks for the link

the are banned in some states. They can be very destructive when in the wild. They build huge nests out of sticks and the nests weigh a ton and the utility people get a little upset over them lol
