caique

So still no official decisions yet, but I am making a lot of progress. I have been spending some time with a Sun named Brett at the local pet store near my office. I do feel a little bad going over so much. He's very cute. Here are some pictures: I also spent a little bit of time with some...

This pro vs con table is still evolving everyday as I continue to think about things so please check back in a few days. I welcome additions to this table which is actually why I am posting this. Yes I know LOTS of things are still missing from this table. Its tough thinking back and recalling...

What do these sounds mean? I can't really find any information about the vocalization of caiques so I'd like to find out. It he happy, interested, scared? I can't tell. He's just looking out the window. In the first video he saw a bird go by.

As some of you already know, I am very new (hours) to the forum. I appreciate the answers received thus far. I wanted to give some more details about my current living situation and get some open feedback and some poll results from all of you. It's been difficult to find information locally (at...

Hi, Our beloved White Bellied Caique, died suddenly a couple of weeks ago at the young age of 4. He was a beloved member of the family (albeit loud), we taught him many tricks, and he loved to snuggle and cuddle in towels and blankets. We could not identify any toxins that could have caused...

My sister has an 11 month old caique. He has never been playful, not since we got him four months ago and definitely not now. He doesn't seem very happy. He's pretty grumpy a majority of the time. He does have toys and I've been trying to get him to forage however he just doesn't care for it. I...

Hey there. My sister has a ten month old caique. I told her not to get him because I thought we wouldn't be able to handle him. She got him anyway. I was right. He's loud and screams when attention is not on him. He can be heard from outside of the house. He's aggressive and draws blood when he...

Hi Friends! New member, but a long time lurker. Just a quick rundown of history with a link to a video of the event: https://home.nest.com/camera/ca54e58f05bb43b3acfc57af6823fa39/clips I have a 10 year old male caique named Tocino. About a week and a half ago I witnessed what I thought to be...

Hello! I'm going to be bringing a black-headed caique home soon, and I'd like to ask if anyone has any advice or tips on raising one of these lovely birds-- like, what are some toys/types of toys that can keep your caiques busy/entertained (such as particular foragers, etc.), what are some...

Hello again. I've received a lot of input and have now narrowed my interest to 3 main birds. I can't choose between a caique, a Senegal parrot and a green cheek conure. I have been recommended against a Senegal parrot by bird breeders however I still like them. Any experience with any of these...

Hello, I have been reccomended to get a caique as my new parrot and I have read that they are real clowns but there moods can change drastically. I plan to get a hand reared bird so will that make them more calm? Any experience or advice will help, thanks. Also, how do they compare to Senegal...

Hello, I'm looking to get a new hand reared parrot to tame and train. I have done almost a year of research and my top candidates are a Senegal parrot, moustache parakeet, plum headed parakeet, red bellied parrot, caique, conures (green cheek, matron bellied, catus). If anyone has any experience...

Hey guys... So as the title implies - we are on the brink of bringing a new baby home. Well, not so much a baby.. he is a 4-5 year old male white bellied Caique. His name is Reggie and I am absolutely in love with him.. I just have a few concerns I am hoping someone can help me with. So...

..... Playstand decorated with some of his new toys! Getting him familiar with them, he was afraid of the big ones!

We have a male, 12 year-old, White Belly Caique that needs a new home. His name is Melon and he loves people, play time, and bananas. He comes with a large cage and a travel cage, along with all accessories and toys. We are accepting reasonable offers for a rehoming fee. Mainly, we want to...

We are looking to rehome our two caiques located in NYC. One male one is female ,about 3.5 years of age. They are in great health and extremely intelligent and entertaining. They get along great and share the same cage. Unfortunately, we don't have the time and attention for them that they need...

Joey gets fustrated if he can't figure out a foraging puzzle toy (like the treasure chest) or retrieve ALL of his treats from the bottoms up cups. He thrashes it and gives it a good beak whipping and scolding. I think maybe it is not his thing or he has expectations of a fast food drive through...

Hi friends!! Looking for advice on my White Bellied Caique's new behaviors... A little back story: Mango is 5 years old and I've had him a few months. He's so fantastic, active, and hilarious, and I love him, attitude and all. He was such a catch. We also have a blue and gold baby Macaw (7...

Hi everyone! I'm Lexi and I'm a 9 yo male WBC from Charleston, SC. I'm looking for other caiques to connect with in the Charleston area. I've never been around other caiques and I'd like to try to socialize.

It is with a heavy heart that after 7 years of trying to befriend our 9-year old Caique Parrot after a traumatizing experience, we have decided to find him a home where he can both come out of his cage freely AND love his people. Due to his changing experience, he is not particularly fond of...
