I have two baby caiques, sisters from two different clutches but same parents and I have had Lily since was three months old and Rora since she was three months old. I will have have had for them a year in August. They are incredibly social and a bonded pair. Both are female dna confirmed. What...

Hello, newby here - I got my first bird when I was 6 years old and have owned many different species over the years starting out with parakeets and then love birds, canaries, sun conure, pineapple conure, and Quaker for 14 years, besides dogs, cats, sugar gliders, etc. I was actually for 6...

Hello all! Name is Mo and i am VERY new to my bird and this forum thing lol (forgive me) I Have recently been given an 11 yr old Female Caique that i use to see almost everyday but now she lives with me. We are not entirely new to eachother but still. So she has been with me for 2 weeks now...

I'm getting a new baby! the problem is, I don't know which species I should get. The breeder I'm buying from has baby Caiques, Hahn's Macaws, and Indian Ringnecks on the way, so I'll be choosing from those. I did try to rescue before going to a breeder, but the nearest rescue center to me is...

my little guy who I have owned for 22 years has the most peculiar habit....play time for him is when he gets to play on our giant kitchen island. I keep a large jar of wine corks there that he loves to destroy. My question is, why is it that he feels the need to sprinkle this cork around the...

Hello everyone. I have been reading the forums but haven't introduced myself. I am female and live in Australia. I have a disabled Eclectus aged 3, 2 Scaly breasted Lorikeets one is disabled, a 5 month old Alexandrine and a 4 yr old Alex , a 4 year old black headed Caique and am getting another...

Hey! So my mother in law (who I currently live with) had one of her caiques pass away a few months ago, she had two and the one who passed hated me, avidly chased me and bit me whenever possible (I came in to her life late so I assume she bonded with the max amount of people, she was also my...

hi everyone I’ve been using this sight for quite some time for information, insight, tips and solutions to questions. So thank you avian Avenue for existing. So I figured why not join. My last name really is Fowler my new avian vet thinks it’s funny.. I do to now that I’m a bird mom. Anyways...

I am completely not present at the moment... so i was wondering if people would be able to help calm my mind. This is still a long while off but I am completely and utterly nervous about leaving my little boy. I will be going away in August for a month to Alaska for a cruise. During this...

Play it loud for the full effect. When you hear a constant ringing in your ears and the sound is reverberating off all the walls in the room then you have it at the right volume ☺ It takes awhile for them to get going.

I reached out to Dr. Greg Burkett, who is ironically a Caique owner himself. He has a single 20 year old BHC named Elvis. Is was great to get some additional information directly from a vet, especially one with personal experience with this species. I requested permission to post our...

So I am still deciding on one vs two Caiques, but that is not necessarily to topic of this post. If I get two, I am pretty certain I will not be getting MM or MF MM = Potential aggression between each other. MF = Mated pair could lead to aggression especially during breeding season. So, if I...

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...

Joey's flight feathers will be growing out but it is slow. First time flight training so I need training myself. When do you advise I start training him? I have been reading previous posts on making the environment flight safe. Thank you!

Hi, I'm really new to Avian Avenue and this is my first thread!!!! I'm thinking about putting down a deposit for a baby white bellied Caique and I need help finding out a perfect cage size. I found this cage, http://a.co/enqVqJc and don't know if the cage too big or too small, or the bar spacing...

My name is Wendy. I am mom to Joey the Caique. He is 4 years old. I also have 2 cockatiels, Iggy and Zoey. They are 18 years old. Thank you for all of the helpful posts. Been enjoying reading them.

Hi, I came across these forums while researching personality traits and training techniques, etc. for caiques. I've always loved the silly nature of these birds and for the past few years have contemplated bringing one into my home. This past year I've started to consider the idea more seriously...

I'm Britney, and I have a year old white bellied caique. She will be two in July. We've had her since she was six months, and though sometimes its been rough, we love her and value her as a member of our family, instead of a pet. However, we've been looking into adding another avian to our...
