Caiques are amazing. Have a wonderful little white belly and would love to find a black capped one of these days. They have such an awesome look, especially with the classic Caique eyes. Both are the most funny birds I can imagine, such great personalities.
@@tracypitrans3535 How they say it in england too, was looked at strangly when visiting family there asking if they had any interesting toys for my parrot because he is a Caique (Ky-Eek)and loves toys
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 Wow thanks for replying so fast. I am thinking of getting a Caique because I have wanted a bird for a long time and they seem perfect. What kind of cage do you have for your birds?
Kaylyn Handley this is the cage we have (top one but in black) birdsville.net.au/cages/cages-for-medium-birds/ It was perfect for one caique, but now we have two we would like a bigger one so they have more space. They are a beautiful bird to have and want to follow you everywhere!
I bought my caique for Christmas last year she was only 4 weeks old !! and she is the best caique ever , I take her outside of my house everyday without a harness ( her wings are not clipped ) and she can fly really well …for my birthday i bought another caique which was really scared , we kept him for 1 day but he was way too aggressive so we bought him back to the shop , the same day we saw another caique that was in very bad heath and was being kept in very poor condition I decided to buy him and take him home I kept him for more than 6 months and he became healthy again and even learned to fly ,but he was way to noisy and loud and very aggressive , sometimes he would scream so much that my other caique would start getting mad at him 😂so I decided to find him a loving home 🙂.
That’s amazing that your caique flys around outside. They are such beautiful birds! When we got our second bird we got them to hang out for hours in the pet shop, to make sure they liked each other. Our second one is so loud though. We are hoping she grows out of it!! That beautiful that you brought that caique home and nursed it to health and found it a nice home. We need more people like you in the world!
Yes, do you're research. They need more than 1 hour out of cage time and they can talk. Not like a grey but a lot. They learn it slow by playing whit you for more than one hour.
I have a 2 year old caique, I'm having the luxury of working from home so she is with me outside her cage at a minimum of 8 hours per day, I actively interact with her playing, but I also ask her what kind of dinner I should make for my family or what color I should choose to finish my latest project and so on. You are NEVER alone with a caique, she is my ride or die.
Is your Caique picking at it's breast? If so, that's not good. Parrots pick when they are bored or dont have enough room to stay interested in things. One hour a day? Far too little. They should have an indoor and outdoor aviary's. Never leave any parrot in their cage other then to sleep.
Last year i discovered the perfect Caique toy, an empty beer can. I keep one on the bottom of the of Tiki's cage and i also hang one or two in the cage with shoe string. All my bird wants to do is chase his can around that's on the floor or kill the can that's hanging. I cant tell if the sounds he makes when killing his can is pure joy or pure fury, but either way its super fun to watch. If he's outside of his cage and I put a can on the floor anywhere in sight of him , he immediately gets on the ground and goes right for it and the battle is on. Try it your birds will love it. Oh yeah and old sneakers are great for them to tear up.
Just a tip when having a caique is they are extremely playful and know on your hands a lot. How ever my caique is not aggressive and is very sweet I love her to bits and she would never hurt anybody. No hate to anybody who disagrees this is my own experience.
That’s amazing! How old is your caique? Scout was like that. She loved everyone and could get handled by anyone. We went away on holiday and had the parents look after them. Since then she has gotten more nippy and other people can’t handle her anymore 😔
My caique is around a year old. And her name is Ebie. Also putting your caique non his back may help him be more vulnerable so he can slowly start to be handled more. Wish u guys a great day thx for replying 🤗
It can change as they become hormonal. My caique was sweet until he turned 5, even avoiding body petting, plenty of sleep, and a good diet. He is a very different bird during hormonal times.
I'm considering getting caiques, and I need some direction. One thing I did with my birds (when i had them) is I would let them out to fly around the room and only put them in their cage at night and when I left the house. How big should the caiques cage be in this case?
I have 2 caiques. I let them out between 3-6 hours a day. The main thing is you need to watch them. The moment I look away 1 is destroying my plants or trying to find wire to chew. The other trying to find a gap to fit in or chew window frames! They are currently in a cage with living space of H: 78cm W: 57cm L: 57cm I personally think their current cage is too small. I will be purchasing one wider for them. Caiques prefer wider cages compared to height. I hope this helps!
When your bird hit maturity at 3 to 4 years old. Does it become more territorial, aggressive and attached to just one person? I’m planning on buying one as a family pet but all the people I meet at a bird shops discourages from buying one because of their wild nature. All my kids are teen agers already. They say they can turn on you and become wilder when they hit maturity at 3 or 4 years old. Did you experience that with your birds?
My birds haven’t hit that age yet, however 1 has change at the age of 2 and has become very territorial of our house. If our friends come in and she doesn’t like them being there she will bite if they try to touch her. At this stage she loves us both equally and haven’t changed her behavior with us.
yeah, this video is like filming a puppy and giving a species profile. They ARE playful like in the video but as they are that energy gets scary can get out of control. (mine fractured my pinky last night). They remain egotistical children, their whole lives and will resent you for not giving into their EVERY WIM. They do not accept that some objects cant be chewed on and can't be distracted from something they chose to destroy (wires and keyboards for mine) also they are impossible to not trigger sexually because of surfing.
My bird didn’t become hormonal until 5 years old. He gave me another ear piercing! When he is hormonal he becomes possessive, even though he was well socialized. I have handled him every day, and even use training methods, such as target training.
I advised 1 hour minimum (not max) due to people’s circumstances, 100% 5 hours if people have that time each day! If it’s less time outside the cage I believe its incredibly important on what you do with the time. If you are spending it training, stimulating them, taking them for a walk outside 1 hour minimum is fantastic compared to 2 hours outside their cage doing their own thing.
When I get a job I'm saving up for one these birds, thay are gorgeous, I keep reptiles which are really easy to keep and I'm up to a challenge that will pay off really well I'll do tons of research to make sure it's the right care I've already started researching and I'll be able to my first job in 2 years.
Thanks for the video! I'm researching all of the "beginner" birds to see wich one would be the best for me. The whole time I was so for the Cockatiel but now I think about getting a caique. I still don't know what I'm gonna do, but only time and research will tell.
I had a cockatiel and they are a beautiful bird. A lot less work than a caique. I’ve also owned lovebirds, budgies, canaries. A lovebird is a great beginner bird, you get a really nice bond. If you haven’t handled many birds before it could be hard to manage a caique when they get aggressive and bite. They have taken chunks out of my husbands hands 😳 Research is the best thing 😊
@@scoutthecaiqueparrot9288 yeah, after this video I watched like 5 or more videos of the Caique and learnd about their aggressive behavior in hormonal season and that they need constant attention. So yeah, I think lovebirds are also super cute, but I just fell in love with cockatiels 😊 they seem fairly easy for a beginner and tbh I have 5 siblings and the youngest is 1 so I know I can handle a bird.
I think as long as you have a true pair it's safe enough. Mine are a delicious couple of handfuls. Cardboard boxes and chains with dog lead clips are endless sources of fun.
what if you work from 7 to 3 will my caique be ok at home while im at work and take them out of the cage when I get home and play with them for a while because I want a bird that will play and be amazing to have and this bird looks right for me. I always playfight with my dog and my aunts African grey and im used to a bit of biting and trust me the bigger the bird the worse it hurst but they are just so cool to have so let me know what you think based on your experience
They reason why we ended up getting 2 is we are planning on starting a family soon and knew we wouldn’t be able to give as much time to her so we got her a companion
We live in an apartment block that was built in the 1950s so it’s solid double brick walls. Very sound proof! We have never had any complaints and they can be very loud! 100% what William said, they sense when you want quiet time and do everything but be quiet 😂
I’m planning to buy 2 babies caiques. But I have other bird which is a 10 mos. old Amazon parrot,I’m on dilemma to get another birds. Loved to have caique. I loved watching ur videos ❤️
I think as your Amazon parrot is still young they would be more likely to accept other parrots. They are in a cage. Originally they were in separate cages until they bonded. We give they approximately 2-4 hours outside their cage a day.
we had this kind of parrot before but someone killed him just the the other day 🥲💔 he's with us for more than 2 years that's why it's hard to forget him. We give his name Pikoy, we missed him a lot 🥲🥲
Caiques are amazing. Have a wonderful little white belly and would love to find a black capped one of these days. They have such an awesome look, especially with the classic Caique eyes. Both are the most funny birds I can imagine, such great personalities.
Caiques are the best! Yes, the Blackheaded Caiques eyes are an awesome red
Very good video. It’s very demonstrative of the fact that parrots are very much like permanent toddlers...with wings!!
Thank you :) they are 100% toddlers for life!
And scissors for mouths

5* hours outside the cage each day, minimum!
Or more like 2:30 hours because 5 hours is a little much and 1 hour is not really enough

Caique are NOT for beginners!!!!

All worth it I don’t want any cockatiel or anything else, caique is also up to 15x more expensive too
I have a tiel and a conure and a caique is total dif level 😂😂😂😂😂
And they can live up to 30-40 years
Also I recommend only one caique because they will bond better with you 🙂
I have 4 and they are very bonded with me, just saying.
Silly Caiques yeah but they will bond even better wen they are alone
They reason why we ended up getting 2 is we are planning on starting a family soon and knew we wouldn’t be able to give as much time to her so we got her a companion
A "cake" parrot? 🤨
😂😂😂
Great video!
Are they loud for apartment living?
they volume is okayish but if they sense that you want them to be quite they will use it as a tool to get anything they want out of you.
We live in an apartment block that was built in the 1950s so it’s solid double brick walls. Very sound proof! We have never had any complaints and they can be very loud!
100% what William said, they sense when you want quiet time and do everything but be quiet 😂
not at all.

Hi... Do you have other birds other than caique?
Lisa Delosa Hi! I only have 2 caiques currently, however I have owned lovebirds, cockatiels, budgies in the past.
I’m planning to buy 2 babies caiques. But I have other bird which is a 10 mos. old Amazon parrot,I’m on dilemma to get another birds. Loved to have caique. I loved watching ur videos ❤️
Hi...Do you cage them together?

They are in a cage. Originally they were in separate cages until they bonded. We give they approximately 2-4 hours outside their cage a day.
