Never checked out any Birds by Joe as they were always $$$ & I just thought he did not raise them but got them just to sell..
@Sweet Louise I think if you don't get the bird you will regret it. But we both know things work out the way they're supposed to.
Maybe call back the bird farm guy and ask him about behavior/aggression? He told me some things I didn't know about nesty behavior with 2 female caiques. Kept me from making a bad choice.
8 mos? Redo your calculation. If he was hatched 12/21 then he's about 4 3/4 months old. When I saw 8 mos. I thought it was strange because that's late for weaning.He was hatched December 21 so about 8 mos. he was just weaned last week so I think there is a possibility of backsliding to needing some hand feeding again? Let’s keep hoping Penny is done with eggs.
Congratulations! Apparently there's a hawkhead chick a couple hours away right now, but at $4000, a bit out of my budget...
Goodness, I did count the months wrong!! Good thing I didn’t do my own taxes!
Does anybody have a HH and a caique? I'm curious if they have similar temperaments. I've always admired HHs, but have also heard they can be really aggressive. I always heard that about caiques, too, though, and I love our caique. So is it kind of a similar thing? They can be horrible, but if raised right, they're not actually monsters?Hawkheads are the closest relative to the caique! From what I've seen the noise level is about the same (I think about perfect for a medium sized parrot!). They are beautiful. @camelotshadow , I haven't been on a whole lot, and I didn't realize that you had a new birdie in your life! How exciting! Now you have TWO of my favorite birds on AA!
