- $2,000 dollars, that's getting up -- are #Caique #parrots worth so much?
Yes, you can get a Caique parrot for a little less or for a little more -- as of the summer of 2021 -- but is it too high a price?
Or is this exotic, neotropical parrot totally worth while?
Caiques are unique parrots - they are one-of-a-kind, so much so that they initially folled aviculturists into thinking that they weren't parrots. Their hookbill is different enough -- but then aviculturists figured it out!
Caiques are one of the only parrots who may prefer to hop rather than fly, who play by rolling at the bottom of their cage like kids and who like to slide themselves on their backs along flat surfaces!
Get 2 Caique parrots - because they aren't 1- person birds, which means that hey will still bond with you. They will keep each other company and provide you with twice the entertainment, companionship and... mess!

I am so happy to find another parrot youtuber. I don't have a bird yet so this is my fix for now! 😂
I'm parrot-crazy! I love them. I generally aim to put a video out every day, so I'm glad you found me! Hope to see you often!
Thx for the great info. I love the new intro 😊
Thanks for saying so!
yes more caiques plz! theyre the best!
Do you have a Caique? Hope you subscribed!
@@ParrotBliss oh no but i follow and sub to ppl that do on IG and fb, I could watch them all day! Yes I definitely subbed
@@clark85 too feed your caique watching addiction. You can have a look at this japanese lady as well. youtube name "ciguma".
Don't leave miss bliss though, because she has awesome tips and info
Excellent excellent topic
Thank you. They are so expensive, I figured it's a good question to answer.
I only have a flock of budgies now. But when the space is right, someday Caiques will be the bird to get. Good to hear that a pair works better. Honestly, I don’t even think any local shops have ready stock. So that will be another challenge to find them when I am ready
I just got a orange headded Caique 1 mounth ago, its hand fet and very tame, I have had a few bite but nothing to seriously, its not to loud as I have learned the caique to wistle as a contact call. I love this bird so much already, it just wanna be near me all the time and I love that, I do have the time for it as I dont have a job and I will not be able to have a fulltime job again anytime soon, It love water and carrots in the morning. This is the best 500 us dollar i have spend on anything and I know I got mine cheap.
I do have two lionette parakeet and some budgies that goes together and I think my caique likes that there are other birds around him for some reason, I can see it likes the sounds of other birds but I might be wrong.
Congratulations 🎉
@@Soren_Caique_xD yes, I’m sure
I paid $2300 for mines and he's worth every dime, omg I love him so much, my caique let me play with his tail feathers and even spread them wide so I can clean them.
It’s amazing, the price kept going up this year (2021) - and yes, they are so worth it! What’s your Caique’s name?
@@ParrotBliss Phoenix
What a handful! You are so amazingly intune with so many different breeds of birds. It seems that all your birds are hand tamed. Is there something you do to teach them to be comfortable from the day you get them or is it just that you get them as hand fed? I got a parakeet at a petstore. It has takrn a year to jump on my hand for millet. He has to give me a couple of nips everytime b4 he settles in to eat, almost as if he's testing my response.
Great question, and fits in with a video I'm planning to do soon!
I’m lucky, Italian breeders sell their caiques for 400€, which is about 450 dollars! I’m getting a bh caique in a couple of years :D
You are so lucky!
Your Caiques are so calm! Mine are wired and they feed off each other. As far as preening, no area is off limit. I love when they stretch their neck and tilt there heads to see what’s going on. Everything has the potential to be a toy. They as many parrots can be destructive. They are smart and realize when they’re being naughty. They laugh with glee. Yes. They play with each other, wrestle and roll around. And, when playing they can sound like they’re being murdered. Mine are very bonded with me. They rub, roll and surf all over me. They need a tremendous amount of toys. I provide chewable and foraging. As far as diet, I was surprised when I leaned the diet my avian vet recommends is the same as what Tony Silva recommends. As far as price, the price of all birds, in my opinion, as skyrocketed due to people looking for pets during the pandemic. There are bird shops here in the Tampa, FL area selling white bellied and black headed caiques for $2000.00+. To me they’re worth every penny. The only thing I would add is, this is a bird that needs at least 2 hours of interaction a day, more if possible. When they are caged, we’re cooking or going in and out, they are where they can see us. We talk to our birds all day and we play music for them. They are not a pretty bird that will be content spending life locked in a cage. And, my vet also said giving a little CBD oil every day is a great supplement.
You said it -- all! I agree, it would have been good to say that they need their daily engagement and to be out. The price has really gone up, true. I will say though, taking care of them and breeding is intense. I think that they are worth every penny. It's a lot of work, which is why I've been taking it easier with my parrotlets.
I do think mine are crazier when all 4 are together - I usually have them paired off so the males don't fight.
Mine also bark... do yours?
It's not just because of the pandemic, caiques have always been one of the most expensive parrots you can buy , when I first learned about caiques back around 2016 , They were ranging from 1200 to 1800 dollars and I seen some ppl selling them for as high as 2500 back then now adays they range from 1500 to as high as 3000 dollars.
@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 A lot of it depends on where you live. It's true, their prices have been going up every year anyway. However, since the pandemic, the prices on all parrots has gone up. It sounds like they were more expensive where you live. May I ask where you live?
@@ParrotBliss Back in 2014 to 2018 I was living in Toronto Canada briefly, Now I live in Florida, where do you live?
@@ParrotBliss But yeah your right it depends on where you live , Canada is the most expensive nowadays in Canada 2grand is the cheapest you will see them for , and in Florida the cheapest is about 1500..
Last week was in store in nj...$3000!!!
The price of EVERYTHING has gone up! 3k? Wow!
My Caique is toilet trained. Only issue I have with him is that he's constantly moving about and chewing things and flying around and it's so annoying when you let him out of his cage. He does things on purpose to get my attention and he seems to laugh when I get mad
Is he young?
@@ParrotBliss hatched in July
@@alexanderNorseCode Ah!
So the good news is he will mellow out some as he gets a little older, you still have a baby. The bad news is Caiques are active parrots and they never mellow out! The truth is somewhere in between there… I guess some of it depends on each individual Caique’s personality.
Mine imitate the oven and microwave. They imitate the birds outside, songbirds, crows and the the calls of the hawks. They laugh when being naughty. One of them sneezes then waits for my reaction. One of the white bellied girls has started to say, “what”. It really grabs our attention! Forgot to add. They try to imitate the canaries. Bad canary singing! Our dog is very quiet as is our neighbor’s dog. And, all of them do kisses.
Wow Jan! You've got quite the parroters!!! I can't believe all the noises your guys make. That is fantastic! Love it!
Thanks for the video. Is there a certain age that a caique switches from eating 24/7, too playfull puppy? Or is mine broke :p (15 weeks old)
You still have a baby! Soooo cute! I've noticed that they start getting super playful a couple of months later. I also think they get more playful when they have another Caique to play with.
@@ParrotBliss we indeed have two boys named kaiki & sparky. Sparky is a walking food absobrtion sponge and kaiki a little cuddle bear. they both are not very playfull yet, but we had the feeling it is because of the ages. In that case we shall keep an close eye on how they will grow up :D
@@jonathanjohn7720 just be patient they are still young , once they get to around 6 to months they will start being more playful and everything you expect from a caique..
Have you ever used the red palm oil at all?
It should ONLY be given to African Grey parrots, as per my experts. Remind me what kind of parrot/s you have, Nick?
@@ParrotBliss I have 2 parrotlets and I just got my 2nd jenday yesterday he's unnamed as of yet I saw it advertised and wasn't sure weather it was ok to use or not also I put one of my flight cages together for the parrotlets and got one more to put up for the jendays to share as long as they get on they are both in their own cages at the moment tho until I know they are fine together.
What that’s how much prep people pay wtf I brought mine hand raised with a few tricks already for £900 in the U.K. why do they cost so much else where
how to do you prevent a male and a female parrot from breeding if you get a pair or a bonded pair ?
What's so bad about them breeding? If they have babies you can sell them and make money and also keep a young one for yourself, I don't see the problem..
since caiques only do well with two can i put a caique with my green cheek?
I would be reluctant. First I'd see how they do outside a cage in neutral ground. They may be friends - not sure if you mean cage them together or not-- but both these species can be sweet or aggressive with other species. Keep your eye on them to avoid any issues. LMK how it goes--
@@ParrotBliss ok, thank you so much and they will be in separate cages.
@@ParrotBliss and also they would be both hand raised babies
@@james___4013 Are they being raised together? If they are in separate cages, then when they are out together, especially if they're young together, I expect that they would get along. Possibly super well!
@@ParrotBliss they are not being raised together but they will be both young when they meet.i hope it will work out great!
They are so beautiful 😍
Thank you - they are truly special parrots
