 Some states have Quaker Parrot colonies as a natural part of wildlife.  When the population of these colonies are large, Quakers can be a nuisance for farmers and crops.  This is why they are illegal in some states to own, breed, or ship.  Check carefully for your area and know if the Quaker Parrot is the bird for your location.
