Caique breeders in Southern California?

[vicksvapor]

Hello! I am new to the forum but not new to birds! I have been looking into getting a white-bellied
caique but I can't seem to find any near me :/ (I live in Los Angeles county). Does anyone know where I can get one? I've been looking into getting one shipped: is anyone familiar with The Parrot Depot based in Sacramento? If anyone knows anything, please let me know!

There are a few bird stores in the San Diego area. There's also Omar's Exotic Birds. Can call them and see if they have any or maybe they can direct you to a breeder.
I don't know if Magnolia Bird Farm breeds them or knows of breeders but you can contact them, too.

Hi there, I raise caiques but I am in Texas. At the moment shipping options are severely limited due to the pandemic. Your best bet is to look for someone local or find someone within driving distance.

We are getting close to the end of the breeding season for caiques so it will probably be getting more difficult to find one as the months go by but keep looking and you may find one. Most likely you will need to get on a waiting list. I waited 6 months to get mine and I have had people wait up to a year that got birds from me. I don't currently have any available.

Have you had any luck? There is also Birds N Paradise in Murrieta.
