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 bites. He had bit my mom's arm so hard that he left a scar. He can be very sweet but he won't hesitate to use that beak without warning. I don't know what to do with him.
My sister has been thinking of selling him. He's already been rehomed and I don't want him to lose another family. I'd like to take him if she no longer wants him but I have no idea how to give him the proper care he needs. I know the basics but I don't know how I can make him truly happy.
I've heard baby caiques are supposed to be very sweet and that aggression can arise when they're older, but he's already mean as a baby. I'm afraid to see what he'll be like when he's mature.
Can anyone please help me? I really don't want to get rid of him. I'm really attached to him and I don't want him going in the wrong hands or him ending up being rehomed again and again and again. I just want to be able to give him the care he needs.
