A clear bird-care answer

Are Quaker parrots legal everywhere?

No. Quaker parrots are not legal everywhere. Some states, provinces, cities, countries, landlords, and rescues restrict or ban them, so you must check current local rules before buying or adopting one.

This is a legal-fit question before it is a pet-fit question.
