The Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), also known as the Quaker Parrot, is a species of parrot that originated in the temperate areas of Argentina and Brazil in South America.

 Quaker Parrots
Quakers have a tendancy to be territorial and nippy around "their" space, and this is usually their cage.
Quakers are bath-loving birds as a species, and the Quaker that doesn't like bathes is the Quaker that wasn't socialized to them at a young age.
Quakers can be very good family birds, and while they can be nippy on occasion, their nipping is usually very predictable (only when you reach into the cage, for instance), and they simply don't have the beak strength of Poicephalus or most conures.

 The Quaker Parakeet (Quaker Parrot) FAQ
The overall color of the Quaker is green, with pale grey on the forehead, cheeks, throat and extending down to the chest.
Quakers are intelligent and curious birds, and if toys are not provided for entertainment, a Quaker may find less than desirable ways to relieve boredom such as screaming or feather plucking.
Therefore, it is virtually impossible for Quakers to take over large tracts of land, destroying all vegetation in their paths as many people fear, due to the instincts that govern their nesting habits.

 Winged Wisdom Magazine. Introduction to Quaker Parakeets
Until recently, choosing a Quaker parakeet as an avian pet was given only fleeting consideration by persons interested in sharing their homes with a bird.
Some Quakers apparently do feel the need to vocalize quite loudly, but these "overkill" periods of communication appear to be limited to short periods of time during the day, if at all, much like a rooster who crows at dawn.
Quakers are fast learners, rapidly picking up words and phrases that they hear often, and can frequently be heard "conversing" with themselves as they practice saying different things.

 Invader of the Month: The Monk Parakeet, Myiopsitta monachus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The monk parakeet is a clear example of an exotic species with a positive impact, at least in human sociological or psychological terms.
In fact, monk parakeets are agricultural pests in Argentina and at least one other location, and their nests damage transmission lines by causing them to short circuit (Bucher 1992).
In fact, the withholding of information by laypersons and scientists will hamper the timely and accurate documentation of monk parakeet range expansion and utilization of natural habitats, and studies of their effects on biotic systems, such that if they are ever found to impact agriculture or native systems, it will likely be too late.
