Care Notes

Common Feeding Mistakes
The biggest Quaker mistake is a seed-only or high-fat diet. Quaker parrots are among the parrots most prone to obesity, fatty liver disease and high cholesterol, and sunflower seed, millet sprays and human snacks like bread and crackers are the main culprits. Build the diet on formulated pellets and fresh vegetables, keep seed to a small daily topping, and never offer avocado, chocolate, caffeine or salty food. Weigh your bird regularly so you catch weight gain early.
Habitat Requirements
Quakers are busy, intelligent birds and avid nest builders, so give them the largest cage you can with room to climb and forage, plus safe branches and shreddable toys for their building instinct. They need several hours out of the cage each day and plenty of social contact. Keep the cage out of draughts and harsh afternoon sun, and rotate foraging toys to keep their active minds occupied.
Handling & Socialisation
Quakers bond hard with their people and thrive on gentle, consistent daily interaction. Start handling early, keep sessions short and positive, and set clear, kind boundaries, because a hormonal or under-stimulated Quaker can become nippy or territorial around its cage. They are clever talkers and enjoy learning words and simple tricks. Out-of-cage time, training and enrichment are essential, not optional.

THE QUAKER PARROTS MESS PROBLEM

Quaker parrots are lively scatter-feeders that flick, sort and drop food across the cage. A cage-mounted feeder keeps their food contained in one place instead of scattered over the cage floor and the room around it, so cleanup is faster.

MOUNTING

STAYS STABLE DURING FEEDING

Quakers climb, hop and lean while they eat, so a feeder that swings or shifts makes mess fast. The Seed Cube clips firmly to the cage bars and stays put while your bird feeds.

WHY SEED CUBE WORKS FOR QUAKER PARROTS

Quakers are busy eaters that gain weight easily, and they are prone to fatty liver disease and high cholesterol on a fatty, seed-heavy diet. The Seed Cube handles their determined beak, and its foraging style helps slow scatter-feeding and support portion control, which matters more for a Quaker than for most small parrots.

Why the Small Seed Cube works long term

QUAKER PARROT FEEDING AND SEED CUBE FAQs

Common questions about feeding Quaker parrots and keeping the cage clean with Seed Cube.

Yes. The Small Seed Cube is sized for smaller parrots like Quakers and mounts to the bars of a standard Quaker cage or aviary. It sits inside the cage and clips firmly to the bars, so it stays put while your bird climbs and feeds.
No. Quakers have a determined little beak, but the Seed Cube is built from tough, bird-safe materials that stand up to daily chewing and feeding. It is designed for active parrots that like to grip, pull and forage.
Yes. Quakers are enthusiastic scatter-feeders that flick and drop food. The Seed Cube contains food inside a mounted chamber, so far less is thrown onto the cage floor and the room around it, which means less daily cleanup.
A Quaker parrot needs the Small Seed Cube. Quakers weigh around 90 to 120 grams and are a small parrot, so the Small size suits their body and beak. The Large size is built for cockatoos, galahs and macaws.
It clips securely to the cage bars and stays stable while your Quaker leans and braces to eat. A feeder that shifts or swings makes feeding messy, so the Seed Cube is designed to lock in place.
Yes. The Seed Cube comes apart for quick washing, and the slide-in tray makes daily refills and changeovers fast. Clean feeding gear matters for a Quaker, because leftover damp food can spoil.
Yes. The Seed Cube suits pellets, fresh food and seed, so it is a useful tool while you convert a seed-loving Quaker onto a healthier pellet-based diet. Offer pellets in the feeder alongside a reducing amount of seed and let your bird explore.
Use it for formulated pellets as the daily base, fresh vegetables and leafy greens, and a small topping of quality seed. Keep sunflower seed and fatty treats to a minimum, because Quakers gain weight and develop fatty liver easily.
It can. The Seed Cube encourages your Quaker to work a little for its food, which slows fast eating, adds enrichment for a busy mind and supports portion control. That helps with the weight and boredom problems Quakers are prone to.

Meet the founders

An Aussie family brand, built for cleaner bird feeding.

Hi, we are Russell and Peita.

Seed Cube started at home with one very determined Alexandrine. After years of cracked plastic, slipped mounts, and constant clean ups, we realised most feeders were not built to handle real birds or daily use.

We set out to build something we would actually trust.
That same focus on strength, stability, and cleaner feeding now guides how we design feeders for daily cage use.

There are now over 10,000 Seed Cubes in use worldwide. We do not build feeders to be cheap. We build them so feeding feels easier and spaces feel calmer.
