    Bay Area Caiques??

    Hi there! I'm hoping someone else in the Bay Area (California) with a Caique might be interested in a play date with our 7yo BH male Caique. We do everything possible to keep our guy healthy and happy. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

    Caiques and Squawking…..

    Just wanted to get some input on the subject of squawking. I'm loving my new little guy! We received the results of the DNA testing last week, and he is indeed a boy! Now to think of a name….. Anyway, I have done a bit of reading online on how to discourage squawking and screeching. Ignore...

    Broken beak.

    Hello everybody! Our caique has broken its beak. We don't know how exactly it happened. He was flying to sit at the door and in this moment a small girl closed it. The upper part seems to be ok. The lower part lost all its kind of cover part. It went of like a cover. It was bleeding first day...

    My white-bellied Caique, Riley is having some behavioral issues. He is currently a little over two years old. He's always been a nibbler but sometimes he gets extremely "bitey" which we are trying to train him out of. However, he'll sometimes squawk that loud pitch annoying Caique squawk...

    Rainbow lorikeet or Caique?

    I'm considering getting another parrot. I only have one so far and he's a mexican red headed amazon. Does anyone know the pros and cons of each? I'm looking for something that's playful and active. I have done research and so far these too seem like little clowns lol. I also plan to get my bird...

    Caique suddenly attacking me

    I seem to have a unique situation with my almost 2 year old Caique, Chip: I came back from a 10 day vacation a couple days ago and Chip was happy and cuddly - normal. Yesterday he was sitting on me while I was on my laptop. He often tries to wrestle with my hand by beaking, which I do not allow...

    Interesting (Peculiar?) Caique Behavior

    Hi everyone! (You'll find an introductory note from me in the New Members thread.) I've been searching the forums and haven't been able to find an answer to this (nor can I in any of my caique/parrot reference materials). If this question has, in fact, been addressed elsewhere in the forums...

    Greetings, everyone! I'm a relatively recent (early August) Black-Headed Caique owner. Well, no--that's not right...she owns me! Her name is Eliza, and she's three years old. She would like me to mention that training is going very well: I pretty much do everything she wants me to... ;)...

    Genetic Issues?

    My baby caique just died and it's a complete mystery as to why. He was only a little over a year and a half old. :( The other day I noticed he had puffed up feathers, looked weak, and the irises in his eyes had turned a light orange (when they're usually red). There was blood in his stool. A...

    Hi, I am currently deciding on bringing home an approx 6 yr old (per previous owner) white bellied caique from a local parrot store. This caique has lived in two previous homes and is now being rehomed due to a divorce between the current owners. I have visited him twice so far and he...

    Eclectus V.S. Caique V.S. Green Cheek Conure?

    Hello! I am a college student who is looking to buy a parrot companion around May/June of this year. My mother has had budgies and a parrotlet, but re-homed them to a friend against my will because of the mess along with the stress of our noisy household. From then until now (6 years) I have...
