-> No I don't have any quakers, used to have three, many years ago, but
-> know alot of birds get itchy, from the dryer winter weather.  We
-> have a zoo here ourselves, we have an iguana, but mostly furred or
-> feathered critters.  Your quaker could be jealous, birds in general
-> are very possesive, and if they are used to being a single bird,
-> they can resent a new one and really become a handfull.  Let me know
-> what your vet says.
Hello Cindy i couldn't help to notice your last name .. i do not
think that we are a relation but i found it interesting.I use to live in
Baltimore MD born and raised there... now living in Decatur,AL.. i have
a Quaker Parrot her name is willie, she is a real good bird to me.. we
just got her and she has taken very well to me.. the thing is that is is
to be my wifes bird.. is there a way to get Willie to stop going to byte
my wife and get her were she will be able to be handled by my wife?
Willie talks very well and if i am not around once in a wile she will
lean over to give my wife a kiss.. but if i am in the room she will be
real agressive and my wife can not even pet her with out the chance of
getting bit.What do you think needs to be done if anything with this
great bird.. ??? we are very fond of it 
 can't wait to here from you,
                        rick
