The Quaker Parrot is a small hookbill from the genus Myiopsitta. Also known as the Monk parakeet, often referred to as a parakeet due to its long tail typical of the parakeets. The Quaker parrot is originally from temperate areas of South America and is a very gregarious bird and in the wild can be found in flocks of a few to several hundred birds.
