HI
I have done lots of research and reading but i can't find any specific answers to my question of if a caique suits my lifestyle. i spend 6-7 hours a day in school and i also occasionally have a tutor after school (once a week) but apart from that i have at least 2-3 hours to devote to out of the cage play time, obviously this may change some days when i have more time but that is the minimal normal amount of time i have day to day. i also have access to a high quality diet of pellets and chop and treats plus a large cage. i have read a lot that they are not for beginners and only recommended to people with medium experience, i don't have "no" experience as i currently have a blue quaker and have previously had a gcc and the usual cockatiels and budgies is this enough? under no circumstances am i banking on the blue quaker and caique getting on or even being out of their cages at the same time, is there anything else i should take precautions with? so i guess my main question is do i have enough time for one as i have read that they are very good at entertaining themselves with lots of toys in the cage for a little while however other places say that they are extremely demanding and need to constantly be entertained by you and are very very needy. or any other bad aspects of them that i need to look out for?
thanks let me know!
