caique

Hello. I have a 9 month old caique who i'm boarding for 4 days. It's the only other place near me within an hour that boards birds. They only want me to bring pellets for my caique. I asked about veggies and they said unfortunately no. Now my caique mainly eats veggies and will avoid the...

I got a 5 year old male Caique a little less than a week ago, and things have slowly been going well as he accustoms to me and his environment. However, one behaviour he has had from day one has been him swinging his head with his mouth open after eating, giving me a specific whistle, and then...

four days ago I got my new five year old Caique: Appa. I took him from his previous owner who found out she had two males, and the past few days we've been getting used to each other. He seems increasingly comfortable around me and the environment, and he's at the point where he's starting to...

I am the proud owner of a pair of black-headed caiques. 4 years ago, at the age of 9, the couple began laying eggs. But, unfortunately, laying fertilized eggs once a year, they freeze 2 days before hatching. Tell me, what could it be.?

Hi, everyone! I’m new here and I think I’m posting in the right place but please be sure to let me know if not. I’m a long-time exotic parrot owner and handler. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good avian behavioral specialist, particularly with caique experience as I’m in need of some...

Hello everyone! Trying to advance in trick training with my 1 year old WBC, but can't seem to find the right treat for the motivation! He's come pretty far, even though he gets distracted and forgets about his reward in the middle of eating it :LOL: Have seen some impressive tricks from...

Hello everyone, I recently adopted a pair of bonded caiques (a little over a week ago). They have not been encouraged to do any mating behaviors in the past and I don’t want babies, so I have been working to ensure that I don’t do anything that could impact that (only head scratches, 12 hours of...

Hi everyone! I have an 8-month old male WBC, who i adore! Lately friends and family have told me he's grown a lot, I just figured he must be filling out nicely! I honestly thought he must have stopped growing by now, but I tried to do some research on what happens between 3/4 months - puberty...

Hi everyone, I have a 4/5 month old white bellied caique (i was under the impression that he was a bit older when i got him about a month ago). I ran out of nuts two days ago, which I usually incorporate with training, and now he has been eating a lot more vegetables, I feel like a bit too...

Hello, I'm currently interested in getting a caique of my own. I have the experience of taming my sisters 6 month old caique who was parent reared but was handled every day as a baby in the nest. Taming him was quite easy for me and I'm a pretty patient person. I have found an advert for a 10...

So my caique is a few months old, and he has been sneezing a little. Mostly in my room. The humidity was 30 and temp about 70, a few times dropped slightly. I spoke to one of the avian vets already that I have always taken my parrots to, and he said it sounded environmental and said time would...

So I have a 5 year old male White Bellied Caique and I was wondering if it is -okay to find him a partner/play buddy this late into the game. I heard that you typically wanna introduce a second caique 0-12 months in but this is already 5 years in. May I have some insight on this...

I have a couple of issues I'd appreciate some help with. I've restarted training of Sammie, my 13 1/2 year old white bellied. She's been with me since she was 4 months. I'm experiencing the same issue I had when I initially started target training. I get her to touch a stick or bell and...

Hi! I recently got a baby caique of 5 months old. She is lovely, and we do many things together. From bike rides with her lash, to playing during the weekend with anything we find. She has flew away around 7 times and has always come back when I call her. We get allow really well. I live in...

Hello all Caique owners, I'm in need of advice on my female White bellied Caique Mojo. As the title implies, she is obsessed with hands, and when in play mode she will chew on them in an unpleasant way. It is not biting or agression, she literally starts chewing but with great force. In short...

My 5 month young caique (Gemma) has started to nip. When she is on my hand or held on her back she starts to bite, not in the sense of telling me she is uncomfortable but of something to do. I try ignore it but she is starting to put more and more pressure to the point of blood. Could it be...

I'm finishing up my preparations to bring Maui (WBC) home but I'm getting stuck on deciding on appropriately sized perches. I have a good roosting perch (2.5 cm diameter), some sisal rope perches, a manu mineral perch, and a flat corner shelf. Unfortunately I am having a hard time finding a...

So I have been doing some serious research about what bird I want to get. After quite a while, I finally decided that I'm getting a caique! I found a local aviary that sells them for 250 each (a bargain I know). I have done lots of research and know quite a bit about them, but I wanted to make...

Hi guys, recently I’ve been interested in extending the family and introducing a Caique. My partner and I already own two Indian Ringnecks who are brothers and are about a year old. I’ve read multiple things about Caiques becoming aggressive to other species when they mature but most of these...

Hi all, It’s been a little while since I was last on. I am needing to find a home for Charlie my Black Headed Caique. My partner is suffering from the dander and I wish to keep happiness at home so I have decided to sell him. I am asking a pretty low $1,200 for everything, including his cage...

Hi everyone, NOTE: If you vote in the poll, please explain your vote! (Message or comment is fine) So for about a year now, I've been stricken with a love for parrots. It started with Cockatiels, and has, more recently, spread to Conures, Caiques and Indian Ringnecks. But before I get to the...

Sorry... I know I was supposed to do an introduction type message, but I'm rather worried for Kiki (key key) a 17 yr old caique who was still a baby...a fully feathered and weaned baby when she came to me as a very special gift. Kiki has just recently (this week) laid three eggs. No changes at...

Hello all :orange: I thought I would post some of the things I have made for Charlie my caique. Charlie’s Happy Hut - He likes it so much that he will actually carry his daily fruit bit by bit into the hut to eat. Charlie’s Rough & Tumble Zone - He will hop and roll on his back with his...

Too Cute! Charlie the Caique Parrot - Playing with Tissues - YouTube It's amazing how a tissue can be more fun than all his toys combined. He was so absorbed in the tissue that he fell off my lap. Lucky i caught him.

Hello my name is Kenzie and this is my little caique Charlie. I thought it might be a good idea to join a forum, in case i need any advice. He is a crazy little bird and loves to show off for people by contorting his head between his legs and doing all sorts of odd postitions. I think in his...

We are looking to rehome our two caiques located in NYC. One male one is female ,about 3.5 years of age. They are in great health and extremely intelligent and entertaining. They get along great and share the same cage. Unfortunately, we don't have the time and attention for them that they need...

Conure v Hahns Brace yourself, this is going to be long and I'm not sure where to put it forum wise. So I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have decided that I am going to get one bird, my future husband is cooperative, and I have a decent sized cage occupying a section of my third floor apartment...

Greetings everyone- I have been losing sleep trying to decide between a Crimson Bellied Conure or a Caique for our family. I have had experience with Parrot ownership having "parented" a Grey, a sun conure, and cockatiels. I currently have a 5 month old Jenday who is an absolute sweetheart. I...

So yesterday I was given a pair of bonded caique brothers. They've been together since hatching, and are very close. They're 8 years old, and had to be rehomed because their original owner is moving into a much smaller house. Their previous living arrangement was in a room dedicated as an...

Just brought home my first caique. He is awesome. What a little character already. I have one question. The Bird loves his seed mix and just constantly eats. I eventually want to switch him to a pelleted diet but i am going to wait till he settles in to start. How much seed should i...
