Hello All,
I am looking to add another bird to our flock. I have had my male WBC for 7 years. We want to add another bird to our flock. Immediately we thought to add another caique, a female.... but there are so many other variations out there we thought why not look into others. The goffins has caught our eye.
My caique is very loud at times but does not have a morning/ night routine of screaming. He talks, says a few phrases like pretty bird, whats up, mommy, and others. He goes everywhere with us. He is a ball of energy and must be watched all the time.
How do the goffins compare to caiques? does anyone out there have both? In my research, they seem very similar. My caique is also an escape artist. We have had to modify his cage. He is a cuddle bug but also has the jekyl and hyde personality known of caiques. He can be sweet one minute and a demon the next. Generally, he goes to anyone, but he is not shy about demonstrating his dislike for someone and will hunt and stalk them to no end with the intent to kill. I can hold him on his back, pull out his wings. I trim his nails ect.
I'm looking for any kind of comparative feed back. I have been researching and learning about birds since I adopted my caique 7 years ago. I was his 3rd owner and he was just 1 1/2.
I feel like you can read all about it, but having a comparison would be helpful because I know what its like living with my crazy caique.! <3
