I'd love to know how old your caiques are. It seems that not much is known about their lifespan in captivity, due to them being a 'relatively new' pet species.
Mine is 20, and last year was still laying eggs (we don't breed them - she just does this every year).

Life expectancy of a Caique | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum

This question seems to be a popular one lately. I don't have any more advice than what people expressed in the previous thread.

The youtuber Parrot Playhouse has a recuse caique that passed recently. I will share some of her links. It might help give you some more ideas about them. She has videos explaining some of the illnesses her's struggle with also. She gets mostly rescue birds so ends up dealing with a lot of complications from past poor diets or other complications.
