Yellow Monk | Lutino Quaker Parrot

Thinking about a Yellow Monk? It is a small dog, confident, and lives around 20–30 years. Before anything else, check your week: this breed does well when someone is home to break up the day, and poorly with eleven empty hours.

If that does not describe your household, tell us - we would rather point you at a different dog that fits than sell you this one.

Your Yellow Monk checklist

• Damp: dry it properly in the wet months - skin trouble here starts damp and gets ignored.
• Company: these are social birds - hours of silence are as hard on them as a poor diet.
• Bathing: a shallow dish or a light misting a few times a week.
• Nails and beak: checked periodically; overgrowth signals a diet or perch problem.
• Vet: registered before you need one, not during an emergency.
