Yeah!!

Buy an unrelated male and female baby white bellied caique and raise them together and you will have a pair just like this one ..

Because they don’t like being in the cage. And babies especially need a lot of attention and cuddles.

And make sure they have lots of safe toys to play with.

My 7 month old White Belly is almost always quiet. Unless we come in the house. Then she most definitely expects attention. Best addition to my family ever! FYI! My wife and I do not have children. Now if I can get the caique to accept the dog. We will be good

Hi Annie, Caiques do need a fair bit of time out of their cage. My husband made a ladder out of natural eucalyptus branches (we live in Australia). I hung toys from it and the Caique loves to climb on the ladder and play with the toys. Make sure you have the diet right (we give our Caique fresh fruit, nuts, pellets and seeds). Read up on the correct diet for Caiques. Sit with your Caique as much as you can - they need companionship because they are, like all parrots, very intelligent. Good luck!

I have one. Email me at [email protected] thanks

They usually get it after their first molt. Their heads also turn orange (if they have black), at this time as well. Typically first molt happens around 1year of age.

@@angellsaviary2517 oh okay that's what I thought , I was also thinking that I might have had a subspecies caique, But I do hope after the first molt that mine gets his white stomach it looks so good on them and really stands out and yes mine also has specs of black on his head..

Thank you. Glad to hear your budgie is doing good. This guy seems to be doing just fine too. 🦜

Haha yes they are🙂

Thank you.

Congrats on your new baby. Yes, the yellowsided male is a unquie color. He is almost a half and half mix between normal and yellowsided. I had a normal last year with pink feet.

Between 8-7 weeks old.

I don't have any blackhead Caiques, but do prefer the size and looks of the white bellied Caiques. I have heard that black headed Caiques may be slightly more agresssive that wb Caiques, but can't verify that. They have more similarities that differences though. So may just depend on what you have availability to get in your area.

@@angellsaviary2517 Thankfully I have both their really isnt much difference other then size and looks , personality/playfulness is the same..

@@angellsaviary2517 Also they both have white bellies so I think a more appropriate name for the white bellied caiques should be orange head caiques, But hey that's just me..

@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 I agree.😁

@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 Good to know. I would definitely consider a black headed pair if I got the chance to have them in the future.

Usually within a few days, but some pairs will mate way ahead of the eggs to practice and bond. You will see a bulge on one side of the hens vent when she is about to lay an egg.

Not particularly, but it depends on the noise level you are used to. They do have more volume than a budgie, but less than a sun conure.

@@angellsaviary2517 thank you...I have a pair of crimson bellied Conure...they are very silent as compared to a sun Conure...I am planning to buy a pair of Suncheek Conure but since I stay in an apartment...I have to be very careful about the noise level as well

The best person to get a pair from is Steve Garvin. He is the original breeder of this color mutation. His web page is www.feathert.com/
