The Blue Quaker Parrot is a color mutation of the Quaker Parrot, also called the Monk Parakeet (scientific name Myiopsitta monachus). Instead of the wild green coloring, blue Quakers show soft powder-blue feathers with a pale gray chest. They keep the same big personality that makes the species so popular. They are playful, smart, and full of chatter.
Below you will find our current color options, age choices, honest pricing, care tips, and clear guidance on state laws, so you can buy a Quaker Parrot online with full confidence.

Blue Quaker Parrots by Age
We raise and place Blue Quakers at every stage of life. The right age depends on your experience and how much bonding time you want. We have a Quaker for every age, so you can choose what fits your home.
Hand-feeding baby (unweaned)
Still on formula and not yet eating on its own. This is the earliest bonding stage, but it takes skill and time. We recommend unweaned babies only for keepers with hand-feeding experience.
Weaned baby (about 8 to 12 weeks)
Eating on its own and ready to go home. This is our most popular choice. Weaned babies are easy to bond with and quick to train, which makes them perfect for first-time owners.
Juvenile and young (a few months to a year)
Still very trainable, with personality starting to shine. A great middle ground if you want a young bird that is already independent.
Young adult (about 1 to 3 years)
Settled and confident. Many young adults are already talking or close to it, so you can see the bird’s character before you commit.
Adult (mature)
Calm, independent companions. Since Quakers can live 20 to 30 years, an adult still offers many happy years together. Adults suit owners who want a bird that is already past the demanding baby stage.

How Much Does a Blue Quaker Parrot Cost?
Blue Quaker Parrot prices in the United States usually run from about $400 to $900 or more. The final price depends on a few clear factors:
- Color mutation: common blue costs less, while rare types like blue crossover, albino, or platinum cost more.
- Age and training: hand-tamed, weaned babies that step up and trust people often cost more than unhandled birds.
- Talking and socialization: birds already mimicking words may be priced higher.
- Health checks and sexing: DNA-sexed, vet-checked birds carry added value and peace of mind.
Because every bird is raised by hand, prices move with availability. Ask us for a current quote on the exact color and age you want, and we will give you an honest, up-front price.

Is It Legal to Own a Blue Quaker Parrot in Your State?
Quaker Parrots are legal in most of the United States, but not everywhere. Because they can form wild colonies and affect local crops, some states ban or restrict them.
As a general guide, states that ban or heavily restrict pet Quaker Parrots include California, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wyoming. A few others, such as Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Virginia, allow ownership only under certain rules like permits, banding, or wing clipping.
These laws can change and can also vary by city or county. Please confirm the current rules with your state wildlife agency before you order. We only ship where Quakers are legal, and we are happy to help you check your area.
Blue Quaker Parrot Personality and Temperament
Quakers are often called the clowns of the parrot world. They are bold, curious, and love attention. Many bond closely with one person but can warm up to a whole family with regular handling.
They are active birds that enjoy toys, foraging, and out-of-cage play. A bored Quaker can get nippy or noisy, so daily interaction matters. With steady, gentle handling, Blue Quakers become affectionate, hands-on pets that ride on your shoulder and join in with daily life.
Can Blue Quaker Parrots Talk?
Yes. Quaker Parrots are among the best talkers of the small parrots, and color does not change talking ability. A Blue Quaker can talk just as well as a green one.
Many Quakers start mimicking words as early as 6 months of age, and some begin even sooner. With practice, they can learn dozens of words and short phrases, plus whistles and household sounds. Both males and females can talk. Personality matters more than gender.
They are chatty but not as loud as larger parrots. Quakers can still be vocal, especially in the morning and evening, so they fit homes that enjoy a talkative bird.
Blue Quaker Parrot Care Basics
Blue Quakers are hardy and fairly easy to care for, which makes them a good fit for first-time and experienced owners alike. Here are the essentials.
Cage and setup
A single Quaker needs a cage at least 18 by 18 by 18 inches, though bigger is always better. Bar spacing should be about half an inch to five-eighths of an inch. Add several perches of different sizes, plus toys for chewing and foraging. Quakers love to build, so rotate safe toys to keep them busy.
Diet
Feed a base of high-quality pellets with a smaller mix of seeds. Add fresh vegetables and some fruit each day. Leafy greens, carrots, peppers, and cooked beans are all good choices. Berries such as blueberries are a safe treat in small amounts. Always provide clean water and a source of calcium.
Lifespan
With good care, a Blue Quaker Parrot can live about 20 to 30 years. This is a long-term commitment, so plan for many years of companionship.
Noise and behavior
Quakers are talkative but manageable for most homes. Give daily attention, enough sleep of about 10 to 12 hours of dark, quiet rest, and plenty of enrichment to prevent screaming or feather problems.
Blue Quaker vs Green Quaker and Other Small Parrots
A Blue Quaker and a Green Quaker are the same species. The only difference is feather color from the blue mutation. Both share the same size, personality, and talking ability.
People often compare Quakers to the Green Cheek Conure. Quakers are usually better talkers, while Green Cheeks are a little quieter and very cuddly. If talking and a big personality top your list, the Blue Quaker is a strong pick.
One quick note: Monk Parakeet and Quaker Parrot are two names for the same bird. You may see either name when you shop.
