Quaker parrots are funny but very temprimental little creatures. I had a breeding pair I placed down the road with a pro breeder, purely because they can be so particular with their nest and breeding. Although I have also heard otherwise. The main gist I get though is that the parrot will abandon the eggs if you go anywhere near the nest during the whole process. They are very private in their breeding

I use to visit this forum http://www.quakerparrots.com/forum/
You should go and check out the vids of twizzlebeak, he sings the whole "I'm a little quaker" song. Just amazing and soooo cute.
