Looking for Caique in GA

[Bradlo101]

Looking for a white bellied Caique near Atlanta GA, can’t find any good breeders and would rather not have it shipped, I’m always up for a road trip!

Check in with Phoenix Landing to see if they have them for adoption. Its a great bird rescue outfit.

I love caiques so much, they are so full of energy and are little oddballs! Good luck finding a good responsible breeder!

There’s a bird show there the 3rd week of October you could probably get one then.

Just went to go look at a caique this man was breeding turns out the address that he gave me was some random family who had no idea what I was talking about... queensbirdfarm.com is the website

Anywhere selling eggs is a scam. At least you didn't loose any money

Just to make you a little jealous (I know, you want white bellies)....



The dog is not hanging from the toy. It just looks that way.

For some reason I thought you only had 2 Caiques even though there are 4 in your signature. Who is who from L to R?

 

[finchly]

L to R: Gizmo, Dixie, Rio, Captain Jack.

Gizmo and Dixie are new to me. Gizmo age 3 was living in a travel size cage with a piece of roofing for the floor. His perch was a 1x1 [square] piece of wood with a screw in it. His feet hurt all the time. He is scared/ excited and sometimes bites because of it. He is learning how to be a bird.

Dixie is 10 and had never had a name. She’s tame and very sweet.

 

[iamwhoiam]

What a sad situation for Gizmo and how could a bird who is 10 years old never have a name. What did they call her? Bird? You? If she is tame and sweet the previous family must have interacted with her or is that just the way she is.
Thanks for taking them into your home. When did you get them?

 

[finchly]

I don’t know what they called her. The only word she knew was “here.” Here, let me climb on you. Here, set me on a perch. The man had bred her so maybe she was outdoors without much interaction?
Her partner died 2 years ago. She doesn’t fly well but she can take off once in awhile.
I shouldn’t have said tame. I think she’s just sweet so she does what you want. She has cuddled up to all 3 of the other birds. Poor thing wants attention!
i only got them 2 weeks ago. They’re technically still in quarantine but I started taking them all outside every day... you know how they are, now they expect it. I’m enjoying it, I sit with them for an hour or two and either make toys or just play with them.
Gizmo bit the crap out of me the first time I opened his cage. I thought I was in for it but now I make him come out to a perch first, give him a little time before picking him up. He’s doing pretty good.

 

[iamwhoiam]

Sad about her partner. Now she has 3 buddies and you have 4 Caiques.
I really like Caiques. Thought about getting one several years ago.

Oh, they're all so lovely! I'm glad I got to hear rio today.... Guys he sounds like Monaco when she goes on rant to herself. Fascinating the tonal quality and cadence similarity!

 

[finchly]

Rio was fascinated. She could hear Kelly and Monaco (and Melon) but couldn't see them .... she was swaying and cocking her head this way and that. Oh and talking and talking and taaaallllking....
