That's caique- darn spell check!

Did you get a Caique since your posting?..... I've 'potty trained'(to some extent) my 15 year old, to 'go on "demand"'(to some extent). Sometimes I have to coax him with my 'potty dance',,,,, try not to visualize. It usually works,,,, usually. The bigger concern is that, as much fun as they are, they're quick tempered and somewhat vicious with that beak. Don't let that discourage you, but there is a learning curve to that. Even with the occasional bloody finger, I would change nothing.

Caiques rub themselves against things or people they like, they also rub against things they think smell good.

Hi! I've never owned a dog so I unfortunately cant compare caiques to dogs, but caiques are very difficult and because of that, they're re-homed and abandoned a lot. Caiques wont just sit in one place while you do things, they constantly have to be monitored and played with or they're getting into trouble. Caiques need lots of exercise and stimulation because they get bored and distracted easily. I'm lucky if something keeps her attention for 5 minutes. I think they're not as popular because those of us who have them try to talk people out of getting them. There are plenty of days I want to throw in the towel and re-home my bird because it's not easy. As I typed this message, I had to stop koa from chewing off the keys on the keyboard, I moved her to the window, then to sit on my computer, then took her to the bathroom. Caiques do better when there are two of them, but I cant imagine the chaos of two hyper parrots. They are fun and silly and people love them, but I don't like recommending them as pets unless you have the time to give them lots of attention. I spend 4-5 hours a day giving her undivided attention and if there's a day that I cant give her that, she's angry and grumpy the next day. She also only eats fruits and vegetables which makes her diet expensive. I spend about $15 a week on fresh fruits and vegetables and cut them up every night for the next day. They shouldn't eat seeds and nuts too often or it attributes to bad behavior. I only give a few sunflower seeds as rewards and she only gets about a tablespoon of seeds as a special tread once a month. If you're thinking about getting one, do lots and lots of research. I wish I had talked to other caique owners before I got koa because I probably would have picked a different breed if someone told me the truth about how hard they are. Even my mom says that children are easier than having this bird. I'm almost 30 and haven't had kids yet because this bird is so high maintenance, the thought of having kids and a bird at the same time is so stressful! Anyways, I hope this helps to give you an idea of how they are. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have.

Considering that I have less than 150 subscribers and can't afford to pay for a large variety of music, I think it's a half decent song for the type of content I'm producing. It's meant to be playful.

@@lilkoa6188 thats a valid reason :)
