I find myself having to rehome our new caique in order to keep the family peace! Unfortunately, his loud ear-piercing beeps/tweets are driving my hubby up the wall. Please no hubby bashing as hubby is very good with our other 4 birds, 2 dogs and cat - but ours is a quiet flock and this little toot is even stressing out our male grey who keeps telling the caique, in a plaintive, whiney voice "Nooooooo".
So, about the caique. He is a DNA male, white belly caique, 10 years old, VERY SWEET AND CUDDLY, he needs a lot of one on one and is just happy to sit with/on you. He is somewhat plucked but not bald. Very curious and likes to wander around. He does not hop much or play with too many toys. He just wants his human mostly. Or maybe another caique friend? Not sure if he has ever been with another caique as I am not original parront. He is like other caiques that can go bi-polar and bite but seems to be less than others I have heard of. Mainly when he doesn't want to go to bed.
I've only been bitten three times in 90 days so for a caique that's good!
He has a slight overbite so needs beak trims every 6 weeks to keep it in check. Vet said he seems very healthy but we have not done blood tests yet.
I am asking a fee and his cage and toys come with him. We are in NW Chicago suburbs and will not ship but if you are near the NW FL area I will be taking a trip there in July so could easily bring him with me. If interested leave a post here (not sure I have enough posts to receive PMs?). Sometimes takes me a day or two to reply though.
