I am trying to help find a home for these two caique boys. They are white-bellied caiques which I raised and handfed. They had a great home lined up but unfortunately it was not to last. They have been in their new home for only two months. Both boys mean a lot to me and I want to help them get to a place where they can stay together. In the event that we are unable to place them together we may consider placing them separately so please let me know if you are interested in one or both. If only one then we will hold onto your info and get back to you if we can not place them together. Caiques love to have a buddy they will still be friends with you at the same time but having two will help keep them occupied when you can not.

Here is their story as told by their current Mom, Patty:
2 months ago, the boys, Frankie and Charlie were flown to me in Vermont. They came to me as friendly and happy little guys.
I had them for maybe 4 weeks when I contracted Covid-19 and was down and out for about 4 weeks and am still trying to recover. However, through x-rays it was discovered my lungs were damaged from Covid-19 and now being in the bird room all I do is cough. It has been highly advised that I not have birds in my home due to the dander and powders they give off.
I am totally heart broken, I've waited so long for these boys and now I have to turn around and rehome them.
I want so badly to keep them together. They truly love each other and where one is, so isn't the other.
So a little about Frankie and Charlie - They are less than 6 months old, they are very sweet, they do not bite and are not afraid of the hand at all. On a daily basis I take them into my bedroom and let them fly. They love it. If I hold out my hand and call one of them, they will fly to me and sometimes right by me lol. When they get tired I put them back in their cage. In the morning they get fresh veggies and little fruit with some nuts and they also have a bowl of zupreem pellets for the day. They both drink out of a water bottle so you don't have to worry about them soaking their food in the water bowl making slop. They also get almonds and cashews both unsalted as treats.
They have LOTS of toys in their cage to keep them busy when I can't take them out and I do change the cage around on a weekly basis. They absolutely love toys and the change so they don't get bored. They also get spray misted with warm water everyday after breakfast so they are nice and dry for night time.
If you have any questions at all please reach out to Laurie who can a hold of me.
As I mentioned, I am helping trying to place them so please reach out to me and after we chat I will get you in touch with Patty.
There is a substantial but fair rehoming fee and we are willing to send them via airline for the right home. They are currently residing in Vermont.
Have a great day!
Laurie
