Baby Caique, White bellied caique - Berkeley, CA
I am rehoming my sweet baby white bellied caique (I paid $2000 to get him two months ago).
Age and sex: This baby caique is a DNA sexed male about six months old.
Friendly and cuddly: He loves all people that he has met. He plays and cuddles on your fingers, lap, hands... Super sweet!
Training: I have clicker trained him to step up, fly to me on cue, flip to request to get out of cage, and to target.
Independent: He plays very well independently inside cage and outside the cage. Very acrobatic and comical.
Noises: He makes pretty whistles. He is not a screamer.
Great health: Last week he had his first well bird visit with an avian certified vet for which I paid $420. Good results on all tests. Clean bill of health!
The rehoming decision has been difficult. I am rehoming him *now* because it is a good time -- he is such a young sweet baby. He loves all people he has met. I even think he may very much like other caiques because he always acts friendly when he sees caique videos -- doing regurgitating motions, being more interested in me petting his head and playing with him with toys, etc. My concern is he dislikes my larger bird, and I worry that they both could suffer stress from conflict, or that one bird could even injure the other. Of the two, I think it will be easiest to rehome the baby caique, so that is what I am doing.
The rehoming fee is $1800. I want him to have the comfort of some consistency, so he will come with some food, toys, and his sleep cage that cost over $100.
