Where are you located? In Australia NSW I know that Ian Addcock breeds white-bellied caiques and Andrews Bird & Pet Palace in Fairfield, Sydney keeps them sometimes.

I've only heard of black capped, and white bellied caiques.

surprisingly enough there's a handful of different subspecies. Most of them just look like the white bellies with slight differences. Green thighed is just one of them.

I'll write that a bit more precisery: There are 2 species of caiques: black capped (2 subspecies) and white bellied (3 subspecies). Green tighed parrot is one of WBC subspecies. In some classifications each WBC subspecies can be separate species - then there're 4 caigue species

hi i live in England and they are really hard to get, i have now managed to buy another one but waiting on a DNA test to find out if its a **** or hen. i already have a **** bird and he does not like this new baby bird, nor does my black head hen, they all have their own cages and i am doing a very slow introduction on this little bird.
