Nice to see you have a sleeping cage. My three all sleep in a small portable cage on sheepskin for almost 20 years. At sundown they cannot wait to go to bed.
What cute BHC's! I have two BHC boys. Routine is definitely a must for these guys. We have a similar routine as well. Sleeping cage, daytime cage area, playtime, training, etc.
We have a female Caique too! She also has a sister but a different species (conure) and we are concerned about keeping hormones in check to control any egg laying as they grow up. Our Caique is an "teen-ager" (3 and a half years old) and her sister is a baby or maybe you could consider her a "toddler". Our Caique gets up around 8:00 a.m. and goes to bed around 8:00 p.m. like clockwork. At night she jumps in her cage and gets on her "bed" perch and calls for us to come and "tuck her in". It's adorable! Thanks for sharing the video!
OMG that is so cute that she wants you to tuck her in! Hormones can get crazy in caiques, sleep is so important for them. Thats an amazing routine you have. How does she go with your conure?
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 it was in a pet store out of my area, they has all kinds of birds, tiels budgies Amazon’s galahs eclectic grass parrots rosellas, kakarikis, caiques, and more. I think all of them were untame except a few budgies conures and a kakariki
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 the budgies didn’t lay me any mind, the conures were in an enclosed box, but I stuck my finger through the caique and it affectionately gently nibbled on my finger, and let me scratch it on the forehead and belly ( and unlike cockies, who will randomly lash out if u want them to stop) he just calmly chewed my finger slowly when he had enough. It was adorable, but sadly I can’t have any more birds and they cost 1,200 dollars 😞 all I want it one
"OH NO, YOU'RE FEEDING YOUR PARROTS SEEDS ITS GONNA KILL THEM" *looks over at my Sun Coure eating straight up butter off my toast* "Totally not the same."
Good routine. Maybe fruit every other day bc fruit to a bird is like candy to a human. same with seeds. seeds every day can cause a fatty bird. your birds are so adorable 🥰
Love this video. A great instruction of an actual day with them. I am getting a white bellied on Monday to finish off weaning. Can you tell us which type of seeds & pellet mixture that you use. Is a cockatiel mixture okay?
You take such good care of them. Can you tell me why that one has been plucking its feathers out? Also did you clip their wings because they often feather pluck if you clip their wings. They need to be able to fly or their mental health suffers, and they need to fly to keep their heart fit.
The pellets are fruit pellets, with artificial dyes, and the seeds aren't sprouted and what is in the seed mix? Also, maybe their dinner should have more vegetables and less sweet things, like a vegetable chop. There are loads of vegetables you can put into a vegetable chop, and you can add things like pasta, legumes, grains. If you're going to slowly diet convert, I'd recommend Tops pellets.
@Aurore Aurore the problem is in nature they are constantly foraging for food burning off the excess fat but in captivity they get nowhere near the amount of exercise as in the wild and therefore not having a good diet makes them obese and damaging for their health and also alot of companies add way too many dyes and sugars and the veggies give them the nutrients they need + pellets
Mine go through phases!! It’s usually when seasons change mine get bitey. It’s one and then the other. Mine scream too! Mainly any time there’s running water, washing machine or when I’m on the phone!.
i am just starting to learn about a caique, mine is very friendly but does not try to do tricks, what are you giving them for a treat after a trick, any other suggestions on training would be a big help, thanks
They sleep in their night cage in our study. It’s quiet and dark for 12 hours sleep, away from tvs and us. I would avoid the laundry due to the chemicals and smells :)
Hey did your caiques got agressive around 3-4 years old ? I really want to get one but I’ve read so many horror stories about them turning into maniacs around that age due to “puberty” (hormones) :/
Hello I hope you read this message because I need some advice, I wanted to take a gulet, precisely a white belly, but first of all I wanted to know the differences between the white belly and the black head, also if I wanted to take a pair they can be of the same sex? if so what advice? I'm really in crisis
If they were on their natural habitat, they would be living to their fullest potential as Nature intended. It's a curse indeed to be beautiful, playful and musical. Everyone wants to own and control you.
They should have veggie chop not seeds as a diet. I recommend tops pellets not the colorful ones. Fruit has a lot of sugars so they should have a mixture of veggies. Seeds are really fatty
The parrots who have the biggest impacts from these are eclectus as the dyes can cause toe tapping due to their unique digestive systems. I’m not super familiar with other breeds. But foods with dyes do tend to be higher in sugar and should not be the only food option provided (I.e. should also be providing veggies and/or another pellet)
Is a much smaller cage where they go to sleep. It’s in a quiet, dark room where they get 11-12 hours sleep a night. I find it works really well for them
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 nope one of them is banded on their right let which symbolizes a male parrot while the other has it on their left which symbolizes female
That’s really interesting. They have both been dna tested. We even thought one could be a boy and got her retested because she keeps humping her sister. It came back as female 🤷🏼♀️
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 that's interesting. Check out if they could be a hermaphrodite, I used to work with an amazon parrot who was dna male but was then *humped* by our other male. Chance is they could be both genders.
Hi, my 3yo caique got a tent (for parot ofc). very interesting method with sleeping (cage) pity i didnt know about this way. maybe if i buy a new one caique i will use this. thanks for sharing. all the best.
A tent like the happy huts ? If so please remove it they might chew and ingest the fibres on it and get hormonal and think it's nest and the fibres cause crop impaction and may lead to death
? Why do have these birds? Wow, Seems like they are your children, not pets. Having pets is purely a selfish human thing we do for fun and entertainment, unless they serve purpose like hunting dogs or something.. These animals are meant to be in the wild aren’t they? Seems like you are craving motherhood. You would probably make a very good mother. Raising children can make the world a better place with good parenting.
Thank you, I am a mother, I believe a very good one. I know your heart it is in the right place when making this comment and you meant well. I feel it should be somewhat focused on people who neglect/abuse their pets as there are many out there in this world and not on someone who is looking after their pets well. Owning a pet is 100% a privilege not a right. There are many great causes to protect animals to great behind, that I feel you will be great in. And in fact to protect children as well. Remember to always be kind x
Great video and especially the routine, that's very important especially the 12hour sleep. My two are 7:30-1930hrs like clockwork covered up for security and sleep. Nobody mentions the first poo in the mornings 😅😅 yes two big black ones. Mine will not poo in their cage. They spend 10 hours out of the cage, then 20 mins for breakfast and 1 1/2 hrs evening meal. They have approximately 10hrs in the bungalow free range. They are really looked after and really noisey in the mornings.
i am thinking about getting one, but nobody addresses the discharge subject and always show them walking on couches/ beds etc, how do you control them when they are for instance on your bed from pooping on it?
Thank you for all the work and the information 👍. I lived with a grey some time ago and sadly he's gone. I wondered how it was like living with a Caïque. Do they need much cage time or do they like free roaming? What about the mess they make (I often see people playing with them on their beds). Do they destroy much? Thanks again and all my best wishes for you guys!
They are a loud parrot and messy! The mess is from the fresh vegetables and fruit mainly. They love to be outside their cage for a couple hours a day if possible. They destroy a lot! Keep away shoes, watch bands, phone covers. They have very strong beaks. I allow they on our bed, however I wait for them to poo beforehand!
Hello. Why do they have to be this cute 💖🥰 But this is just a friendly tip: coloured pellets are bad for parrots. Some good brands are: Harrison's, Tops, Marlene Mc'choan signature blend.🥰
Quick question - our 8 months old Caique screams very loudly at the mornings... Usually after he eats his breakfast and is ready to start a day. He's got around 2 hours period when he just wants to run on window stool and scream very loud(like, really very loud)! He won't stop doing it for word. We're very concernd about this behaviour, living in apartment building our neighbours might complain at some point. Your caiques look calm in that term, maybe you got some suggestion?
I have a caique. I find that he (genetically tested) is fairly loud but they are not noisy. Loki gets a breakfast of pellets, a wet food bowl (usually with peas, carrots, and a green leafy non calcum binding vegetable) and a skewer with a sliver of corn and pepper and usually a quarter of a guava (in the fall and winter he gets pomegranate in his bowl instead). and as an evening snack he gets a bit of birdie bread (cornmeal, pumpkin, an egg some cayanne and rumford baking powder for leavening) he asks for it, and he asks "did a bee eat my birdie bread" and : where do you get your birdie bread" I do a 8:30 am, 8:30 Pm sleep schedule.
I loved when they started singing in the shower. ☺️
They love it so much! Always try and take them in at least once a day!
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 I'd say it's good for the soul!
100%!
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 how do you start to train them?
Nice to see you have a sleeping cage. My three all sleep in a small portable cage on sheepskin for almost 20 years. At sundown they cannot wait to go to bed.
A sleeping cage is the best, that’s amazing! Best for their hormones, and they love it!
If every owner to an animal was this responsible and loving...the world would be a much better place

She has a sister of a different species! Did you contact all the scientists? Lidding.
@@lubnah3521 lol 😁
Absolutely gorgeous birds. Thank you for really looking after them❤❤❤❤❤❤
My green cheek conure loved the sound of water as well. It must be in their DNA.
Must be!!
I feel like the people who have most experience with birds are also the most likely to say ‘I am no bird expert’ 😂
So true! 😂
I feel in love as soon as I saw one at a pet store that cuddled up to me
Naww how special!

That’s awesome! They are amazing and bring so much joy but are a lot of work and I’ve never cleaned so much in my life 😂
Always be sure to get info from different sources do lots of research before getting a caique. I recommend BirdTricks as a source.
Oh my, they are just nonstop! 🥰

If you're in the US, the birdtricks seasonal feeding system and pellets are great
I have a 2 year old BHC girl and thinking of getting a WBC next year, love these little babies to death, best birds ever
Wow fruits and vegs for dinner, we were instructed at nursery only to give fruits and vegs for breakfast
Thank you for this video, I've been looking into getting a Caique and seeing your birds daily routine really helps :)
They are happy in your family😊
This is a great routine. Your birds are beautiful 😍
Thank you so much 🥰
I love them!!
would love a cage tour please! and sleeping cage set up
Absolutely! I’ll organize one 🥰
Where did you get their daytime cage? It’s so big!
Nice ! During the breakfeast part, I was asking myself if parrots are left-handed or right-handed. Have they a preferred leg ?
Omg I have never thought about it! I have gone back through my archives and Scout is right handed and Tonks is left handed!
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 aw ! So cute !
You take such good care of them. Can you tell me why that one has been plucking its feathers out? Also did you clip their wings because they often feather pluck if you clip their wings. They need to be able to fly or their mental health suffers, and they need to fly to keep their heart fit.
That's a full time job. But love your birds.
It’s definitely full on!
The pellets are fruit pellets, with artificial dyes, and the seeds aren't sprouted and what is in the seed mix?

There are loads of vegetables you can put into a vegetable chop, and you can add things like pasta, legumes, grains. If you're going to slowly diet convert, I'd recommend Tops pellets.
Thanks so much, I’ll take it on board
A change in pellets, less seed, and more veggies (with less fruit) will also help remove the black stress marks on their feathers!
Oh and I feed tops to mine as well! Honestly it's the best food out there so far
Thanks Grace! 😊
@Aurore Aurore the problem is in nature they are constantly foraging for food burning off the excess fat but in captivity they get nowhere near the amount of exercise as in the wild and therefore not having a good diet makes them obese and damaging for their health and also alot of companies add way too many dyes and sugars and the veggies give them the nutrients they need + pellets

Quick question. Where do they go to sleep? Do you have your own bird room or just in a toilet or laundry? Or a quiet spot in the house? Cheers
They sleep in their night cage in our study. It’s quiet and dark for 12 hours sleep, away from tvs and us. I would avoid the laundry due to the chemicals and smells :)
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 thank you!
One of them plucking herself? I have a black headed caique also and he gets very aggressive sometimes when he is hormonal
Both males or females? Did they fight or friendly to each other?
Too cutee!!😍😍😍😍😍
So can you take a nap with these birds ??
How do you fit a full-time job in with this routine?
Hey did your caiques got agressive around 3-4 years old ? I really want to get one but I’ve read so many horror stories about them turning into maniacs around that age due to “puberty” (hormones) :/

No difference between black head and white belly, just the colouring.
My 2 are both female. So same sex is fine!
Great video🦜
Thank you 😊
Your birds are so cute! By the way your diet is not a good nutritional diet for birds, make sure to do your research!
Thanks for your feedback, I'll take it onboard :)
If they were on their natural habitat, they would be living to their fullest potential as Nature intended. It's a curse indeed to be beautiful, playful and musical. Everyone wants to own and control you.
Even worse is that humans burn down their natural habitat. There isn't many left in the wild.
They should have veggie chop not seeds as a diet. I recommend tops pellets not the colorful ones. Fruit has a lot of sugars so they should have a mixture of veggies. Seeds are really fatty
I’ve heard it’s not good to give birds daily food that’s high in seeds and dyes, is it different for caiques?
The parrots who have the biggest impacts from these are eclectus as the dyes can cause toe tapping due to their unique digestive systems. I’m not super familiar with other breeds. But foods with dyes do tend to be higher in sugar and should not be the only food option provided (I.e. should also be providing veggies and/or another pellet)
When do they go to the bathroom
I have one and I want a female. You don't know where I can find it. Thank you
I know breeders if you are from Australia?
I have blue budgies rn and I love them but I wanna add bigger birds to the flock
That would be lovely!
How often do they use the loo?
They poo approx every 20-30mins but the hold on over night.
How do you work or do anything Else?
My husband and I are both shift workers. So there’s always someone home with them 😁
Are they potty trained? My caique poop alot and I'm trying to potty train her
Yes they are. 1 is better than the other. 1 does her morning poo over the toilet every morning 😂
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 awesome
They don’t actually get in the water??
What is a sleeping cage?
Is a much smaller cage where they go to sleep. It’s in a quiet, dark room where they get 11-12 hours sleep a night. I find it works really well for them
Do you clip their wings?
If you want your life turned upside down.....get a parrot!! No joke!!
100%!
I’m thinking of getting me one but when time goes by does the hair on top of them start to turn orange?
In the wild there is two different species, blackheaded and whiteheaded. So no they don't change color while getting older:)
Hoped that helped you out
J Johnsson is correct there are two types. My two are blacked-headed caiques. The orange headedcaiques are called white-bellied caiques ☺️
Fun fact they live on different sides of a river and therefore got there head color different.
That’s awesome!
My white bellied caique hates to be cage, so I spend alot time with him, because he's my only caique and my conure hates him
Bro spoke British 💀
where did you buy those balls
Does anyone know a good breeder of Caiques? I have been scammed 2 times already.
I just want to tell you not to feed them seeds unless training and no fruit together with the vegetables fruit should also be uses as a treat
