Well I thought it was about time to introduce my two caiques to all that dont know them.

I got Tiki the WBC from a great friend of mine just about two years ago. I finished off his hand-feeding and he is definitely my little bud. Into everything! Loves most everyone. His only problem is he is a chicken when it comes to toys.

I just tell him "youll be fine, if your alive in an hour then I think youll be fine" He usually gets over it and ends up tearing the toy to shreds.

Second is my re-homed BHC Pica. She came to live with me on September 12. First couple weeks was rough. I was bit and was really getting cold feet. I decided this was really something I wanted to work out. We did a lot of treats through the cage. We got into a routine where I would give her a treat, she would go to her favorite perch and I could change her food and water.

Well a couple days ago she hopped right on my hand and we are making great improvements :)

Here are my two beautiful caiques!

Thanks everyone. Their personalities are very different. But I love em both! Hoping one day they will play together while out of the cage.

Well hello Tika and Pica, have seen your pics in the signature but haven't formally met :) Great going with Pica, Alex. It is kind of hard to not let those bites get in the way of a wonderful relationship, looks like you have succeeded!

You know the first week it was really, really hard for me. But after that we just worked on eachother. She was in a new place and needed to get used to the birds, the routine ect..
