Lady Cha Cha this morning at breakfast.

Can you see at one glance WHY she is Lady-Cha-Cha?

THREE WEEKS confined in a nestbox at high humidity with FIVE eggs she laid and she pops out for breakfast looking perfect!.

Well, almost perfect. ( Sorry, Cha-Cha)

No silk. Cheap camera, overhead natural light, and 4 years studying caique diet

What you see is the result of 4 years of 100% committed pure practical love from her papa.

If you can do this, then consider a caique

I love it. SPECIES SPECIFIC diet research is so important! I don't have caiques but the difference in my flock when switched from generic parrot diets to individually tailored foods according to their specific needs... It is amazing to see.
