Moustache Parakeet owners! What has been your experience owning these parrots?

I've got a male mustache parrot 🦜. He is 26 years old. He sounds off if anyone comes in the driveway or comes to the door he lets me know. He is exactly right they are one owner birds. Mine tells me to Hurry up. He only likes to get on my hand when he wants to, he will bite if you aggressively come at him out of I guess being afraid of predators. He's a very smart guy. If I don't cover him at bedtime he lets me know he'll yell. He takes his bath systematically everyday and he's a very unique little bird

I've had mine for 8+ years since he was a chick. I would rate him as follows: Handalability: 2. He doesn't like being touched. He's not that playful or active. He does what he wants but spends more time watching than doing things. I have not had issues with bluffing. Quietness: 2. He's not a constant screecher but if he doesn't get what he wants he gets pretty loud and can be heard from outside the house. Don't necessarily think he's an apartment bird. Talking ability: 2. He's a male but never has really picked up many words. He whistles a lot and repeats the same phrases he always has, and his speech is generally unclear. My previous parrot (alexandrine) was a far better and more frequent talker who demonstrated understanding as well. Would say it's a hit or miss with MPs. Would not say they 'solid talkers'. I do think it depends on the bird you get. Care: 3. As you expect for a parrot. Eats fruits, veges, seed and pretty much wants to try everything. While his cage is smaller, he spends a lot of time flying out and about. He does need a lot of attention. But yes he will bite if ignored or angry. Hardiness: 5. They are very hardy birds. They have good mental constitution and can adapt well. No health issues and he has survived being lost and in uncertain situations and hasn't been stressed. We love him very much but he is definitely not fun like a conure, talkative / intelligent like an alexandrine. And I agree he's for experienced owners. He is loyal and will be around, and is bossy. I just disagree on the talking. Lastly I will say he does not care to be around other parrots. He prefers to be a solitary parrot and does not / will not interact with other parrots. If owning more than one parrot, don't expect the MP to be a friendly companion. Having said that, while he does not like not being the centre of attention, he is happy to associate with other humans. When he was lost and flew out of our home, he was found 3 days later sitting on a ladies head and talking to her.

You’re really helpful, love these videos.. I wish to get birds in the future so watching these help a lot 😊

We have a moustache parakeet and do not agree with the one person comment. She is wonderfully friendly with everyone. She loves kisses and is the life of the party

I've had my moustache for 3 years so far, he's quite good with multiple people. In regards to sound Tiki is loud as hell. I can hear him from outside my house. You were spot on with not being handled. Moustache parrots hate being touched from what I've seen. Mine is quite happy to sit on my shoulder but hates being pat. He'll even take a nap on the lounge with me

Mine is the sweetest parrot. He is super smart. He is a hands off parrot but loves to by on my shoulder. I don't consider him to be an overly loud parrot but he has his moments. He is a bit bossy but so loving and is also an excellent talker. He is my first parrot and I am totally in love with him!

Fun fact:my grandpa said he caught in the wild and also we live in china so I think that’s true and everything u said relate to mine so much

You described this bird so well - your words matches exactelly !

I have an Alexandrine, similar to the ringneck parrot, this parrot sounds very similar.

I bought one of those same babies about 2 months ago at the lake forest location. My male is so sweet. Great video. :)

another nice video! another suggestion of mine for a video would be great some with quaker parrot :)

Tenho um moustache, ele tem 7 meses, e ele é muito silencioso, raramente faz barulho. Moro em apartamento e ele é perfeito. Ele não gosta de carinho, mas gosta de ficar comigo, especialmente no meu ombro. E ele gosta de todas as pessoas do prédio 🥰 levo ele no parque para passear, ele nunca tentou fugir. Mas sempre usa coleira, por precaução

I love my mustached parakeet. He’s the most polite bird and is friendly.

I love your videos I’m trying to pick the best parrot for me in the future and they help a lot, I’ve had 2 cockatiels so far and would like to go medium next.

When I was kid, This bird is still a lot in my place, especially in the rice and corn fields, but now it's rarely seen anymore, almost never😥😔

Can you do one of these kind of videos about the Hahn’s macaw because that is the kind of parrot I want to get as a companion parrot. You make awesome videos and I learn a lot about you. Have a nice day

Could you do a review about the ducorps/solomon cockatoo? I was wondering if it plays wel with other birds? Love your video's very helpfull always, Keep up the good work😁👍🏽

Can you please do the indian ringneck please?

Very wonderful, joyfully..... emotional.....but louder

Just to add...my bird is very social and loves everyone!

Could you do a Goffin's Cockatoo please?

From my own experience. Handleability: baby 3, bluffing phase 1, adult 3. He lets me touch, scratch, preen but he prefers to being left alone, though he still loves to be by your side. He bites hard. Quietness: 4, He doesn't make a sound unless he's hungry, not too loud. Talking: 3.5 good talker, but not impressive Care: 4 cause mine is very independent, not very active, he eats anything, learn to eat seeds at very young age, just have to keep an eye when they're out of the cage. Health: very very hardy Cost: 5 cheapest species in Vietnam (roughly $15) Loyalty to owner: 2 even when I raise him from a little baby, they may fly away when they have a chance. In general, he's not so passionate, absolutely not cuddle, and bossy. I spend much time playing with him everyday, but he's like "nah I'm fine, just leave me alone". He sits by my computer while I'm working for hours. He flies here and there a few times inside the house during the day. This species doesn't breed in captivity. I can only buy them at spring time every year from farmers in the central highlands of Vietnam.

haha i was binge watching thinking i watched them all and refreshed to see a video from a few minutes ago

Also another really good bird store is the Magnolia bird farm in riverside they have really cheap prices and also they have a hyacinth macaw

Hey can you do a video on Quaker parrots

How old is the parrot

They go for 10-40 bucks here in Myanmar

They are similar to IRNs.

Male or female ..and age

I have a question can a pionus and quaker parrot live together?

How to know their age

My moustache loves everyone. He just can't be pet, and especially hates hands above his eye level. We never play tug of war. He's 22 and won't eat pellets. He must have fresh fruits, ice cream and carrots every day and wants to taste everything I eat. He's never seen the inside of a cage, so he thinks he's my brother. A real bargain, he's outlived 3 dog lifetimes already. He likes playing hockey.

I have a Moustache parrot 🦜

See my mustache parakeet kiko puente here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kJNjapanntTKo40.html be a sweet parrot and is now about 6months old, beak is turning black, says his name well, chats up a storm but can’t really understand

The Parrot feel unconfortable

I don't think your parrot likes you waving your hand around, you need to keep still, he looks confused.

Pls rescue instead of buying birds Get adults instead of baby birds

Can you do a military macaw if that are available please? 🦜
