caique

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...

We have an 8 months old caique, unknown gender. He has been living with us for 4 months. Now we have a chance to adopt a 5 year old sun conure. From what i understand, the poor thing has been neglected, meaning, no toys in the cage and almost no attention from the owner. The conure looks ok ...

Hello everyone, im new here, but i've been reading a few posts so im rather familiar with your wonderful community. Ill cut straight to the chase. A few months ago we bought a wonderful 4 months old Caique. From the get go he was very friendly and not a bit shy. Me and him struck up a...

today, surprisingly, i got bitten by a bird and he drew blood. now, again, luckily it wasn't my bird. I was at my local bird store, and someone had brought their caiques in to be groomed. I asked a little bit about them, picked up the 'nice' one, and went back to hanging out with Jeffrey...

I have a 2 day old caique chick with a very odd ( to me) flat ended upper mandible. Pic attached Of course the chick is just out of the egg and developing rapidly, but that flat shape worries me I've written to my avian vet, but would like some second opinions @Laurie @rockybird @Laurul...

Our 2 baby girl caiques just arrived this morning and we're overjoyed to have them! However, we have a few questions and are hoping people here have had experience and can give us some guidance. They just arrived this morning and are not fully weaned. We have the syringes and formula but they...

FINALLY got a chance to hold a Caique. Not a BHC, but beggars can't be choosers. Only got a minute or two to hang out with him as this was at the bird fair this past weekend in Raleigh, but still very happy. I have been researching them for what feels like an eternity and with the exception of...

Hey, so my boyfriend and I have had a pyrrhura conure, Dino, for about 2 and a half weeks (maybe white eared, honestly not sure, you can see my other thread on that). He is 4 months old and he is very very sweet, doesn’t bite, cuddles, plays, is learning target training and a few other things...
