Finding your feathered companion...
Chatty little architects with huge vocabularies.
Quakers are clever, talkative little parrots that thrive in Markham homes where a bit of cheerful chatter is welcome — just not pressed against a shared bedroom wall. Markham and the wider York Region are active both as adopters and rehomers, so genuinely local birds turn up on the portal often.
Whether there's a quaker listed in Markham today or you join the waitlist for the next one, adopting through Bird Sitting Toronto works the same way everywhere: apply online, chat with our AI screening assistant, and the BST team reviews every application personally. Birds across the GTA are usually only a short drive from Markham, so the right quaker doesn't have to be listed in your exact city to become yours.
