caique

Hi everyone, I got offered a black cap caique and am 100% planning to get him, but his feather color is very odd. The owner said he’s pied, but could this be indicative of health issues? I don’t want to bring in a bird that’s sick that could cause issues for my other fids. I’d love some...

Hello! I currently have a very social and clingy fisher loverbird. She is a hen, about 2yrs now. Only had lovebirds before. Would really like to get another bird at some point, maybe a bigger one. My question here is there a species that goes along better than another with lovebirds? Ive always...

Good day all, hope you are doing well. I have a question I was hoping to ask. I was gifted a female white bellied caique and I just purchased a male for her.. He is a lovely bird and I am happy as hell to have him. But I have this one nagging feeling that he might be a cross and not a pure white...

Hi there! I just picked up my baby caique today. He's 12 weeks old. I have had lorikeets in the past and I just loved their quirky personality. I loved how mine used to roll around upside down and play with balls etc. I wanted to get a Caique as I see they have a very similar personality and...

Hey all! I am not sure if I am just inexperienced or what is up... all day today these little buggers have been fighting. At least to me it looks like fighting seeing as one always falls down from the top of the cage and then clambers right back up after 30 seconds of break. I am not sure if it...

Hello new to this forum. I have a Caique, around 12 years old. He's generally been more active lately and is always vocal and ready to come out. He plays in his cage and occasionally takes naps with his leg up. I gave him carrots and jalapeño this morning and he happened to have this kind of...

Heyo fellow avian lovers! I hope everyone is enjoying the weather on their end, it is raining here as I type and it is a bliss as we hardly get rain here. I figured I have done enough reading around to finally post a proper introduction so grab yourself your favorite drink and have a seat as...

I don't have much experience with baby birds but am wondering if when he's quaking and kinda squawking because he's hungry? He's almost three months old and eats quite a bit but only the fresh foods, he seems to be avoiding eating his pellets. I'm worried he might still need to be hand fed? I've...

Hello everyone, I really need some help. I apologize for the lengthy post. I have an 8 year old female caique parrot who has learned some bad behaviors because of my unintentional reinforcement. I would rush to the cage when she would scream because I live in an apartment with roommates. So...

Just noticed it while petting his head. Has anyone seen anything like this?

We have had a lovebird for about 4 years. We decided to adopt a 6-month old caique. They haven't been in direct contact with each other for safety, but we are wondering if they are going to get along with one another. Thanks!

Hey, So I had a couple green cheek conures up until a few years ago, which had to be given to another family due to medical issues and other extenuating circumstances. Life's gotten a lot better now, and I have a couple of years of college left. I'm thinking about getting a Caique since they...

My white bellied caique (11 years) is starting to grow in some black feathers on his head. Does anyone know what causes this and if it is normal? He is very hormonal right now and currently receiving Lupron shots for that, so I’m wondering if it could be a hormone thing for caiques.

So I have a White Bellied Caique named Lily whose just coming up on her first hatch day. Every since I got her shes had this black shadow on her beak that has grown since her beak has grown. Her beak is mostly horn colored with just a little bit of blackish shadow in the right corner of her...

I’ve had Milo for about a year and a half now— he’s the sweetest, goofiest bird in the world. I love him so much! The problem is that my husband and I have really hectic schedules, and we’ve been trying to make it work for the past year but unfortunately Milo needs more attention than what we...

When we got my Caique his wings were clipped. He has just started growing a few of them back. Not enough to fully fly but he can go short distances. I have started working on the basics of flight training and all is going well. The problem is whenever he gets the chance he will fly into my hair...

Hi everybody! It´s been a long time since I posted anything here…but now I feel as though I have to. Long story slightly short: I could use your help. Long story slightly longer (including some background information): In February of 2019 one of my dogs suddenly got very ill, she went from...

Hi everyone. So pleased to be here! We are owned by a blue and gold macaw. An African grey and now we have adopted a caique parrot. It's never a dull moment here!. I look forward to chatting with you soon. Sillycaiques in the UK

I know I keep on posting and asking questions but I truly have no idea what I am doing. I am interested in getting a cockatiel, budgie, or caique. Where could I get a caique? I think they are adorable birds and I would love to have one.

Hello I am looking to give a wonderful home to a bird in need, I can afford a fee. I have a cage and toys galore. Also have a herb garden I’m growing for the birds. I currently have a parrotlet he’s been with us for 4 years. I’m a stay at home mom and have all the time in the world. I would love...
