Thinking Of Getting A #Caique #Parrot? What I Would Want To Know #parrot_bliss

1. This is one breed that is super high maintenance. They’re very unpredictable and will give very bad bites. They’re also very very loud with repetitive high pitched beeps or noises that can last for hours on end, they don’t wear out easy and are very unpredictable. My caique bit my 2 sons very badly making them bleed, I’ve seen others bite and their owners had to get stitches. Other birds his size he’s been okay with however he’s gone after my African grey trying to bite him. I don’t think this breed is for everyone and if I had known what mine would be it wouldn’t have happened. I was told the opposite when buying him that he was a sweet loving bird who was a clown and he was already 4 years old. Once I got him he was the complete opposite so you never really know what they’ll be like once in your care.

2. I have had a caique for 17 years and she is 18. Ever since she laid 14 eggs over a year ago she has changed. She is not as playful as she used to be. Nor is she as clownish. I don't know what's happened. She even got a very aggressive with me last year for a few months but now we are back on good terms. But she is really very temperamental. She runs hot and cold. She is good with me and my wife and likes to stand on our shoulders while we do stuff around the house but she really lets us know how she's feeling good or bad. She is very aggressive to strangers and we advise visitors to keep their distance. They are a challenge and I would recommend them but I do think what you do with two is a good idea. My little one has been by her self for a long time. Over the past year and a half I have acquired 3 other birds and that may have had an effect on her behavior. She's jealous?

6. Great video. Caiques are feathered monkeys. They truly are silly, non stop clowns. Mine are very affectionate. They can become moody and nippy. They need tons of enrichment and lots of chew toys. They are bold and fearless. I tell people you have to work with and play with your new friend. And, yes, they are unbelievably messy. But, they are my choice of parrot!❤️
