Caiques are fun loving, playful, athletic parrots, with an average life span of 30-40 years. They are very agile, love to run and hop, usually preferring not to fly. They are also extremely fond of hanging upside down and swinging from hanging toys. They enjoy toys of all sorts and are very persistent when they see something they want.
A properly socialized and consistently trained Caique will be a loving
companion, ever ready to play and roughhouse. Caiques have a small ability to
talk, and some can talk very clearly, but are not known for their talking
ability. Overall, Caiques are fun,
loving, cuddly, intelligent and one of the most rewarding pets you could ever
ask for, they truly are the "Clown" of the parrot world.
Diet
Caiques do best on a varied diet of fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh sprouts,
cooked rice and beans, and a good quality pellet. Our babies are weaned on to
Zupreem Fruit Blend pellets, and a pelleted diet is recommended. A small amount
of top quality mixed seed can also be offered.
Please see Available page for upcoming handfed babies.
DNA sexing is included at no charge.
