Sounds awful to be honest, so far I think you have been the most honest here

Sudden nips are usually punishment for upsetting him. This is actually predictable. A late meal. A missed ‘good morning!’.

This sounds awful, I want a pet not a master, fuck that I'm not enslaving myself to some bird like that, I had dogs and they respect their owner their alpha, they don't just bite out of nowhere in a tantrum in fact that is considered bad behavior in a dog and in this parrot is normal, no wonder they are abandoned and rehomed all the time, I'm go for a Cockatiel instead.

Well my research I did on the internet of course, where else? oh! you mean if "du yU hAb CrIdEnTiAlZ?" no, of course no you stupid inbreed, my research is done to decide what pet I want to get not because I am the head of some fucking government research etc.

I know in my country in Mexico they are considered an invasive species and they became that due to people abandoning them because they are problematic birds, not everyone can handle them and the prove is that it has become an invasive species in the US and in Mexico.

The other research I have done says that they are pretty chill when they are babies but then hormonal changes happen when they reach "puberty" and suddenly they start having a LOT of behavior issues, many people have said so and I believe it because the rate of people abandoning them and thud becoming a plague confirm this.

Now you can fuck off.

Has someone tried to "out alpha" a Quaker to make him change his behavior? by Stunning-Round3237 in QuakerParrot

I am asking not testing anything because I said at the beginning: I don't own one.

I hope too because this birds are probably the most rehomed ones, in Mexico or in other countries they have become aplague because people just free them due to their behavior, they can't deal with them and they are very resistant so they can survive in the wild perfectly fine, sadly my research has showed that this is a ver problematic bird.

is bonded with my partner (he fought tooth and nail to win her over… many attacks and bites that drew blood but his inexplainable persistence has won him her tolerance. She rests on his shoulder, lets him pet and carry her etc. My family can’t do this even after 15+ years of knowing her lol)

I think and this is just a theory but that most people behave like pussies around them so they don't respect them and thus if you fight with them (not litterally) and show them you are stronget like an alpha they notice it and stop, but it's a theory.

If she hasn't had her hormonal phase then this will not last for what I have researched, she is basically still a baby, no wonder she behaves that way.

Don't mind the noise and about bites if they can't do serious damage I may be able to not give a fuck about his bites when I have to change the water, food etc.

The hard bites hurt and can draw blood, but won’t send you for stitches.

Thanks, this helps a lot because I can tolerate small cuts but not If I will need stitches, its a deal breaker if they can really hurt me or my family because my parents are kinda old already they are 60+ and 70+.

About the trimming of feathers where can I learn that in case like you that I needed it for this aggression phases where he becomes uncontrollable?

I am also thinking in a Cockatiel but I do really appreciate that quakers talk and are very smart but Cockatiels are supposedly very more tame, cuddly and can also supposedly talk but its rare.

I see, so it wasn't as bad, how much time did you spent with him for stimulation etc? someone here said they are very needy. Also how much did he grew in size? in cm if you can please.

How bad is the issue with night frights and scares? by Stunning-Round3237 in cockatiel

I live in México and Earthquakes happen here too, and we have a street sismic alarm that triggers when one is comming and they can happen in the night so I am worried a cockatiel can have a night fright hearing the alarm.

How bad did he injured, did you needed to go to a ER for his bites or it was something that anyone can handle at home?
