Glad everyone is getting so much joy from early Quaker names! Looking forward to seeing any future pets/children/bands/drag acts named after stuff on this list.

I see nanday parakeets all the time and they r infodumpin about them

[todaysbird]

the quaker parrot, also known as the monk parrot, is a small species of parrot originating from subtropical and temperate regions of south america. despite their origins, they have become an invasive species throughout large portions of north america and europe; despite their popularity in aviculture, this has led to them being banned in some areas. their gregarious nature means they are happiest in groups, and their loud squawking is sometimes bothersome when they’re found near residences. they are known for building large stick nests that can rival the size of small cars; these apartment-like nests can house all the members of a flock, with each ‘family’ unit taking a separate section of the nest. unfortunately, they are fond of building these large nests on power lines, which has led to worse PR for these often charming parrots.

Why A Quaker Parrot? Quaker Parrot merchandise is hard to come by especially in plush form! No other plushie brand has made a Quaker Parrot yet so if you are like me and want a plush of your beloved pet, but can't find one, that is why I created this plush! If you cannot afford a plush, I also have Keychains & Stickers for sale also which are also hard to find of this amazing parrot species!

About Pauli Pauli the green Quaker Parrot plush is 9 inches tall and can both sit and stand due to his legs having a floppy design! We tried to get his design as close to the real thing as we could with the grey lines on his chest, bright greenish yellow bottom, orange beak, grey feet, and blue tips to his wings and tail! He is also super soft and cuddly! Whther you are a child or an adult collector, or just someone with a Quaker Parrot who wants a plush of their pet, this plush is for everyone!

If you've ever wondering what it's like being a Quaker but specifically being a Quaker in my brain I have a moment about 2-3 times a day minimum where ill be doing something random and probably fun or quiet (or not, maybe it's really loud) and my thoughts and such will stop dead in their tracks and I will take a hard 180° and start to think about how there's this light inside every human that makes them inherently interesting and beautiful and equal and good, or how silence comes from all around us and the joy of just sitting in the sunlight of creation, or how people are some of the most beautiful things to ever exist and how grateful I am to get to experience us, or the importance and wonder of the natural world and all of creation and the necessity of fighting to protect it, or how queer people are holy and sacred in our own little ways or the injustices of the world and how oppressively horrible they are but also that that's why hope and fighting and seeing a better world is so important.

And on and on and on. And then I'll go back to like making brownies or doing maths homework or something.

We are not called to save the world. That’s a burden too heavy for us to bear. We are instead called to follow the Spirit of Christ speaking within us, the Spirit of the one who carries the sin of the world, the one who can lead us out. Part of the work of Jesus is to break us out of the closed circle of self-justification. As long as we struggle to be good we will never be able to bear the weight of our guilt. [...] If instead we rely on the goodness of God, the goodness we partake in as God’s beloved creatures, then our guilt can be faced. Then we can do our small part to untie the sticky knots of sin that riddle our lives. We are loved and we are responsible. We are sinners and we are saints. We are warped by sin and we are precious children of God.

transgenderism isn’t an ideology it’s a gift from God actually

[windona]

The way people talk about pacifists, in media, in fandom, in life can be so damn infantilizing. "How stupid and naive, to say violence isn't the best option." Whole episodes to show that a group of pacifists in the face of danger are dumb, unable to protect themselves, unable to handle violence, needing to be taught that their pacifism is wrong and that violence is the good and best option. Others showing them as passive, on the sidelines. People talk about the right to commit violence, when violence is right, but then there are those scoffing at the idea of a right to not commit violence.

As if being a pacifist is easy. As if committing to those ideals in the face of danger, in the face of one's own rage, is always easy. As if groups of pacifists weren't born of civil wars and raging pain, as if pacifists haven't been committed and dedicated to making the world better. As if they can't be brave, running through storms of bullets to deliver goods to make people's lives easier. As if they haven't been abolitionists, medics, and worked hard to improve things instead of just letting the horrors of the world bowl them over.

kapoof combine the two hyperfixations

this is mike and will as parrots species, mike is a quaker and will is a cockatiel :)

quakers are birds that can shift mood very quickly (often when not cared for properly) they can be very territorial, very loud but once they form a bond they can also be really sweet and cuddly. they love learning new things and learning new words and with the right birds they can be very social as well.

cockatiels are calmer, gentler birds who love head scratches and whistling, they can be social with other parrots but usually form a stronger bond with one other bird, or their owner.
