FINALLY got a chance to hold a Caique. Not a BHC, but beggars can't be choosers. Only got a minute or two to hang out with him as this was at the bird fair this past weekend in Raleigh, but still very happy. I have been researching them for what feels like an eternity and with the exception of seeing one briefly in person at the vet, I had yet to meet one properly in person. Wish I had some more time to play with him. Would have LOVED a chance to see him roll around on the floor, hop around, or play with some foot toys. The good news is, he belongs to one the local bird club members. I just need to show up to the meetings more often and maybe I will get a chance again. For now though, my dreams of getting a Caique are on hold. Now with Lada in the picture, I have a full house.
