My Quaker parrot changed a phrase that I taught her. I taught her "wanna come out" and Sky changed it to "can I come out" no one else taught her that. So they really do learn and change to context. And she senses when I'm gonna laugh and she laughed before I do. She also senses when I'm gonna go to bed....she starts saying night night goodnight...and I go to sleep all different hours...not on a schedule.

I've had my quaker for about 14 years too. We found him in the wild being attacked by a bunch of crows. I've been his homie for this whole time, love him!

My Quaker is a green 1 year old female I have had her since she was 3 months old I watch all these Quaker videos with her and she literally get upset when I play other Quaker videos but the second I play Pluto's videos she starts kissing the screen on my phone, she just loves Pluto..💕🐦💚

My quaker is sitting on my shoulder and watching this video with me very intently.

I agree..... i have a blue Quaker, Buddy... he says Goodmorning only in the morning....night night only at night...bye bye when i pick up my keys.,.,hot when im cooking...stop it when im on my phone or not paying him attention...and he ONLY says thankyou when a service is provided!!!! Buddy also "counts" . just the same as Pluto...same head bobbing and all.... i love Pluto...he is gorgeous....

The first word my quaker baby learned was the name of my first dog (love of my life) because I said her name so often. Now that she's passed, it melts my heart whenever my quaker says her name all day without warning. She also says full sentences and speaks only in Spanish lol! Pluto is so adorable btw!

His enthusiasm is the best part of it.

This was wonderful. (His attempt at counting was hysterical).

quakers are extremely nibbly and bitey compared to other parrots. It's just the way they are. You need to treat them with extra care, and have extra patience compared to other parrots.

Pluto looked like he was chuckling at himself in the video

Hes beautiful....same behaviour as my Buddy... he looks so well looked after and feisty for hiis age....

Pluto is a little cutie. I love the singing. He must brighten every one of your days. 😀

That counting was hysterical. I've got a green quaker. I'm going to spend much more time with him after seeing this. Thanks!

My quaker, Quincy usually doesnt watch videos and he was totally fixated . You right they do talk in context. ... one time not long after i got him ... he bit me and i yelped.... then i heard "Sorry" ... i nearly fell over.

Gorgeous pluto, stunning colours❤❤❤❤❤

My Kiwi does the same, something happens or the dog barks he'll say "what happened " or my fav "wtf" yes he swears lol or "omg" or I'm trying to get the dog of the bed he'll say "get of the bed" or when he's getting argumentative he'll say "don't be naughty" or when I'm going to work i always say be good he'll say it when I'm almost walking out the door, they know, they are intelligent little birds!❤

My GCC picked up on "come here" without me even trying to teach him. He ONLY says "come here" when I am either in a different room or when I'm on the other side of the room and he wants to be with me. He's never said "come here" in any other context. I think he learned it because I would notice him bobbing his head when he'd be on his perch like he wanted to come to me, so I'd tell him to come here. One day I was in another room doing something and he started calling for me, and then started saying "come here".

🤗 Great rewatching your Little Monster 😁 again! Your Pluto and you inspired me in my rescue Quaker I've had for 3 years now!! 💕 Hope Pluto is still as Happy and Cheaky as ever!!! 🤭 Love his accent 👌❣️

Your interactions with Pluto are so adorable and I’m so happy that I’ve found your channel 😃🐥

His counting is hilarious! He has a few of them down perfect:)

CUTE LITTLE BUGGER! REMINDS ME OF MY BOY SAMMY!

Wow! He doesn't just go potty where and when he feels like it? That's great. He has a special place to do that? That's a great thing for a bird in the house.

Just have to tell you... About 7 years ago I decided I wanted to get a little parrot. I watched countless videos on KZfaq, because I wanted to get the right breed for me. I came across your Pluto's video's. After watching his videos, there was no doubt what kind of parrot I was looking for. I found my Zoey and he has been the best little guy. Zoey and I would watch Pluto's videos together. Pluto was our rock star! At 7 years old his vocabulary is almost countless. I just want to thank you and Pluto for sharing his videos. I might not have the boy (I think he's a boy) I have, if it wasn't for Pluto! Thank you

My, he is sooo cute. Quaker parrots are one of my favourite parrots despite their loud call. They have such strong personalities. I have an African Grey and she is a good talker. and very cuddly. She also likes to bite her tale a little bit so I need to be aware of what she is doing all the time but I guess I have to be aware anyway. Thank you for a great video

Im in love!!! Pluto is a doll.. Sweetheart

I enjoyed watching you and Pluto! He's a lovely quaker parrot. He did get some of those numbers counting and knew the noises of the animals. 🤩

Hi Pluto & Mom!! I'm sitting here at the hospital with my Uncle and found your video! I'm enjoying Every minute and am about to start watching more of your videos. I haven't been able to get home today to see my babies and I'm having severe withdrawals! One yr ago I adopted a green Quaker pair! My Jade is 9 and Coco is 3 and when I got them, they were terrified biters! They still bite some, but not like they did a yr ago. It's taken a lot of bandaids and witch hazel and vitamin d ointment, and patience, but we're getting there! They both require a lot of attention and they both want it at the same time.....NOW!! Jade is my cuddler. He could sleep on my chest in the covers for hours if I didn't need to move or Coco doesn't scream for him or stand on his head, lol😁 She stepped on him one day and he bit her toes 🤣🤣 sry, it was hilarious cuz she just couldn't seem to step in the right place once she stirred him up! 😂😂 I had to pick her up and move her to my shoulder. Omgosh, I could talk here for hours, Lol. I'm missing them terribly. I wish you and I could talk in person, lol. This is my 1st set of quaker parrots and sometimes its really difficult for me to tune my ear to their voices. I feel so bad because no matter how many times they say it, I just don't get it! I have a clip of them saying this one thing that they say and for the life of me I cannot understand what it is that they are saying and it's driving me madd! I will find a way to load the clip on my public playlist so it can be seen by others. Pluto is a beautiful Bird and reminds me of my Coco girl with his nibbling and busy lil self. I'm subbing and I look fwd to sharing time with you & your sweet boy Pluto! 🤘🤗⚜

Buzz watches Pluto all the time and sings along with him.

I live with a cherry head conure who’s been with me since 1988. I bought him open banded in a feed store. Perhaps the reason he is so bonded to you is that they are one of a very few bird species that form nesting colonies with multiple pairs in a colony. I agree if you use words snd short phrases during certain situations they will learn to do the same. My birds are also potty trained but of course it’s up to the human to notice when they show signs they have to go.

Awwwwwwwww!!!!!! Cute quaker parrot you have i wish i could have a quaker and i wanted a cockatiel a quaker parrot and cockatiel is what i wanted for a pet

Thank Zoe & Pluto. I Live the relationship you two have...so beautiful. I'm Markona Love and am a Writer & Columnist for Groundcover Newspapaer. When living in Phoenix, Arizona I volunteered for 'Fallen Feathers and learned of the Quaker's plight in U.S., being euthanized and or owned misu drstood and abused. I rescued an older Quaker from the rescue Asia was dying, and with my Autism gained a special understanding of Quakers' higher emotional intelligence. I adopted a naturally born Opaline Turquiose Quaker baby(8wks) to save her from breeders. I was already prepared to be trained by her, to her for to be my Service Animal for Autism. We created connecting language from my whistling, then she stopped talking and would speak our own languages and we would understand eachother. I would have to tell other people what she was saying, except for water(Loved- in all forms) and foods(especially. Papaya). The only other words she'd felt need to say any more were 'Love You'( her first words) and 'Kona Kisses'(she"de whisper that while giving most special tender kisses). She was Amazing, she saved my Life( over & over), I treated her with great the greatest of respect. We had so much fun and Love. She only flew free once in Phoenix .. it was so hard for me to not let her fly in Washington State(eagles & hawks). We would look out window she would turn to me and gently open her wings?, and I would cry. Then in Colorado we got to place called 'Open Spaces'...beautiful open fields and rolling hills with walking trails, Perfect. I camped out there and let her learn how to safely fly while walking with me. Long story short by time we got to my home time Ann Arbor, Michigan she had been flying every where and anywhere...inside and out. We were a spectacle. Walking down street..talking to people during walk then her flying out of trees and landing on my shoulder, in front of them. I'm on Social Security Disability Income and well we became homeless living in mountains and such, then home, homeless. End of November Kona was chased off by a hawk while we being heavily persecuted(complicated bullshit/mostly government). Heartbroken can't even come close to how will forever feel this greatest loss I could imagine. All I can think about was all the things I did wrong with her and selfless she was/is.... I enjoy the both of you, in the way you ineract(mostly body language) that, most others would not...it the Beautiful bond you have together. You are the only Quakers I watch because you, Zoe are truly special. Your a lovely person who shows proper patience, Love, and Respect for Pluto. Thank you for setting a GOOD example for other Parrots. So glad I finally shared...I have yet to have anybody to speak with knowingly that would know, understand, or appreciate what uniquely special bond we created. I knew Everytime she landed on me, outside that she was coosing to be with me! Would Love to have serious conversation sometime. I'de like to know more about relationship with him and the the trials you face in Life having a Parrot as a Companion. Matter of fact, I would very much like to do an article on You. Please call me, if you can without expense. I'm in U.S. Eastern Time Zone(same as New York) 1-(734)882-0143 Would also like a way to send you my most recent environment Article 'Kona's Right Light'

I have two Quaker parrots Mango is blue and Casper is green. Lots of fun, lots of noise and lots of mess. Mango is flat out all the time and Casper is lazy and sweet. Mango talks over 50 words and can whistle..Casper just can't be bothered but he can. Fantastic little birds, my best friends ☺

Awwww - that counting was so adorable! Great video - cute and informative!

I sure enjoyed your comments about Pluto speaking in context and the way you equated it with speaking to a 2-year old. I have a 27 year old Goffin's cockatoo named Peaches who has always said, "Bye-bye" in context. I learned early on that your bird becomes whatever you want it to be or whatever you can imagine it to be (like our lives). Nicole Dickerson has some Quakers that seem to answer her in context; she has a special relationship with her birds (as you do).

Love Quakers, very smart and social. .

Hi , i got a Quaker parrot because of this video. And believe me! My bird is happy and healthy!!! Her name is tweety and i cannot live without her. Thank you lady 💖 thank you Pluto ❤️ i love you.

Pluto, yay,, what a good boy!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Our Quaker Parrot was very sweet, same color always cuddly and always gave kisses. ❤

My quaker Pidge (short for Pigeon) has just watched this video intently. Hopefully he'll pick up some hints.

That was the cutest counting I have ever heard. :)

Besides learning to talk in context, he can learn phrases like "Go home" and "come here" and not repeat them, but do what they mean. My quacker , when told to go home, goes into the cage and closes the door by himself. When told come here, he comes out of the cage and flies to me.

Quaker Parrots R Such Cute Chubby Cheek Parrots & Smart & Intelligent too to pick so many Words👌❤️❤️Just AWESOME❤️

I am amazed that Pluto is potty trained!

Hi!! I love watching Pluto, he is absolutely awesome. I was just wondering, if you will be making any new videos with Pluto. I really just love, the way you are with him, and interact with him. You can tell, he just loves you. So cool!!

Just found your vid. I got a quaker last Summer, hand raised, was about 6mos old when I got it. It is like Pluto, not cuddly with me but loves to pull my blind that's next to his cage and wrap it around the cage and snuggle in, lol. I haven't had it sexed either but it named itself Baby Bird, lol. So Baby Bird loves to laugh, whistle and dance and says a few words but no sentences - yet. I am hoping he/she will talk more as he gets older. Ty for posting. I played the vid and he watched Pluto intently from beginning to end. lol

Nice to see you two! I love Pluto!!

That is the most precious damn thing ever!

I can say that I had never being a person that like birds,but after my wife bougt us two conures 10 mounts ago...I have change my mind!!!My little Conure Kimmi that sadly died four weeks ago and I miss her every day...My wife came to me at my work the day after with a little Quaker baby two mounts old.....A real sweatheart that come with me to work allmost every day now....I know It will take time to get her tame.....but she helps me to go forwads and not thinking so much on Kimmi.......Kimmi was and is my little pet-bird that I will never forget!!!!!! I have learning to love my Quaker-baby Micky who is harasting by our thre conures now!!!!!!

Hi just found your Vids I am totally hooked Pluto is soooo cute and you are great with him ,I have an African Grey Congo called Charlie he has all the same traits as Pluto and is super intelligent ,great to see your vids I have now subbed and await new vids thanks for being a super cool parrot owner

I got a Quaker just three days ago he got comfortable very quick, he’s sleeping on my neck as I type this😂

Hiiiii I’m pretty happy I just found your post 😁thanks so much for posting.. We own a blue quacker and have done for about a year now.. We purchased Jellybean also from a pet shop .. We are still very much learning about each other and that goes both ways .. The love and laughter she has bought into our home is precious.. Also it’s a guess on gender.. Jellybean is yet to talk fingers crossed she will very soon ☺️subbing to you now and I look forward into watching more of your posts your relationship with each other is simply inspirational ...thanks again and take care

I have a 25 year old Quaker Parrot had her sexed years ago her name is Kiwi....hand raised myself from a chick....very talkative. Kiwi makes up sentences, and knows Yankee Doodle.

Evening preening time from Stella. She alights on my head and chews on my hair roots.

I have one like Pluto. So much fun!

I love Quakers so much 😄

My Stanley, a Quaker, isn't super cuddly either, but I love him to death.

What a cute birb

His cheats are awsome.....your vary lucky to have such a cool bird

Nice to see Pluto again..Great Quaker..

My Quaker parrot is so angry with me when I watch your videos 😆 🤣

Awesome little birdie ❤❤

I just got one just like Pluto. Hes a few months old. I've named him Link. Hes cuddly but also very destructive. Lil bugger gets into everything.

Hi what a very cute video of your bird.i have a yellow nape Amazon parrot he is 26 years young.i just love your channel I just scribered to your channel.

Oh my goodness he's so cute!! :3

You're such a cutie pie!

I haven't smiled so much in a long time. Thanks for the vid. You and Pluto are the awesomest.

Omg I have a green Quaker called Pluto too! And we’re Aussies as well! Mine is a girl :) Super cute 💚

So cute . You should post more vidéos...make me feel so good to see Pluto ❤️🙂🌞🌸

Thx so much for telling me this advice!! It's really helpful for me cause I'm getting a Quaker parrot in 2 days, thank you! ❤

Love Pluto, smart birds.

Yo tengo una como Pluto, se llama Lola y dice Te Quiero! Muchas gracias por tu video, son un amor aunque a veces chillan y no sabes lo que quieren🙏😘

I am convinced my male green cheek conure uses his speech in context as well. Birds are so smart.

He reminds me of my Quaker.

SO awesome!! ♥

I had my Quaker sexed while she was boarding at the vet. She is nearly 15 and has never laid an egg. BTW, she loves to dance to Rockin Robin. I change the "pretty little raven at the bird bandstand" to the pretty little Quaker at the bird bandstand.

Hes over 14?? he looks much younger than my 2 year old Quaker

My quaker Eva is not cuddly either doesnt stop 😍 love her so much. She says ouch when she bites

U r so pretty. Appreciate u.

Pluto is so smart and quite an entertainer! Your a wonderful bird Mom, and teacher! Approximately how old was he when he started talking words you could understand?

Believe they live around 25+ years depending on many factors

Hi I’m In NY and have a Quaker too his name is Pappi. His cholesterol and Triglycerides very high. He can’t have any seeds but eats Zupreem pellets. Doctor said many Quakers have high cholestrol. Have you had his checked? He definitely looks like a boy. So cute reminds me of my Pappi.

Paulie Soprano, my quaker sings the theme from green acres tv program and sharped dress man from duck dynasty. He does sound effects... a zipper noise when I pick up a pair of jeans, baseball knock when it makes contact with a bat, and chicken noises to torment my two pet hens. He's the best security alarm I've ever had.

Is beautiful The bird

Sweet bird.

Great job. I have two.

hes so adorable

Hi there! I am SO excited as I am getting my blue Quaker tomorrow - he/she is also about 4 months old from a pet store. I just LOVED watching your video as its given me such inspiration to interact with him as much as possible to get the best out of him as well. Please give me any tips on his first or couple days in his new home as I really want to do this right! Also he has been hand reared so I assume training will be slightly easier than a rescue. I look forward to hearing from you xxx

Pluto parrot birbs is so adorable 😃

My Harleybird kept trying to nibble your fingers through the screen, and looked behind the tablet to see where they went....lol.

I like his 2 white fluffy cheeks.

Beautiful

So cute 😍

Jolly Balls are awesome. Horses and dogs like them as well

He's soo much like my Sonic the parakeet 😂

Pluto is cute, my cat tibbs is fascinated with him.

Pluto is so silly! I own a green cheek conure right now, but a guy my father works with found one and they MAY give it away. I already did research on them months ago before deciding on my green cheek but I'm willing to be bitten.

I have a Quaker parrot too. I want him to talk more.

If you want a hand cuddly bird it is almost certainly possible in the space of weeks or a couple of months at most. I understand this may be a bit hard with kids BUT if you completely eliminate forceds step ups & picking him up he will soon learn to accept affection from hands. You would leave him alone if he refuses to step up when presented the opportunity. for those times when you have to move him/put him away get him to come to you etc you'd teach specific separate step up & step down command that consistenly gets rewarded (use different words than whatever youve been using without rewards).

Excellent 👍

Pluto is such a cutie pie❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
