Actually, I was wrong. Apparently he is supposed to be 11 months.
How old does he appear? I believe he looked more like a baby when we first got him...we've had him since November.
He doesn't seem to be hormonal. He doesn't try to court anything or anyone or mate with anything. He's just grouchy at times.
LOl We are all grouchy at times. But caiques dont even try to hide it. watch his body language. Watch what you do BEFORE he becomes grouchy. Are you causing it?

I have a gang of caiques, which I have had since they were babies. I have had only one caique baby hatch and survive, but I have watched his development in minute detail, as have half the people on this site. Its all recorded here. Search for Thumper. Babies have dark black heads and indistinct colours which deepen as they get older. My impression of your birds picture, ( and its only one picture) is that it is well beyond the baby stage
