Heres one for the newbie caique owners, from QU Birds land on FB

Typical complaint: The bird was sitting eating quietly, then it suddenly flew at my face, without warning

This is an experienced caique owner who has shared videos of many beautiful babies
She is going to share a video of a new caique hatchling, but WITHOUT losing skin off her face.

STEP1 - Distract mama with some food she loves - looks like seeds here
STEP2- Keep the cage bars between mama and your face
STEP3 - DO NOT put your hand into the cage

ONLY THEN do you go to step 4 - open the nestbox to check on baby

Mama is eating BUT ISSUING A CLEAR WARNING

DO NOT MESS WITH MY BABY - GET OUT OF THERE QUICK

How do I know?.

LOOK AT THE CLEARLY VISIBLE CONSTANT RED RING IN MAMAS EYE
THIS IS HER TELLING YOU - THE MOST OBVIOUS WAY SHE CAN- I AM ON RED ALERT

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
