Adult caique meets an abandoned caique baby (Derpla & Pyro / Nymphica)

UPDATE: The full Tale of Derpla can be found here! :) • THE TALE OF DERPLA - T...
This little baby caique got badly neglected by its parents and the growth was 3-4 weeks delayed. My breeder friend asked my help and we decided to pull the baby to be handfed to save its life. And, if I would manage to grow this baby up, I could keep it. Because handfeeding can cause many problems, I wanted to include bird company as soon as possible. But, it's not always so easy. Caiques are a bit hot tempered and there is a risk that the adult could hurt the baby. So, I took little steps when introducing thes two for each other. Pyro, my adul white-bellied caique, showed only one little sign of aggression when the baby flapped its wings - but in the end, it would seem that this meeting went much better than expected. Take a look. ^^

So fortunate that Pyro chose to accept the chick. Caiques are all or nothing, so it was going to be very good or NOT. I've seen how much that little one grew! Great job raising that baby!

[@Neitokakadutcom]

Hi Adwen! Thank you so much! Yeah, I've definitely noticed the same. All or nothing! This autumn Pyro has unfortunately started to behave more aggressively towards Derpla, the baby. Derpla was DNA tested and he is also a male. Every now and then they are ok together, but at the moment they can't be together without monitoring. That's a shame. :/ Then again Pyro tends to be the quee- king of mood swings. Sometimes he just behaves and is all nice. But even a minor thing in routines might make him go all grumpy caique. -__- If you have any tips, I'd be glad to hear. I'm great with cockatiels and basically grew up with them, but I've only had two caiques so I am not an expert on that species. They are so completely different! Anyways, if you are interested, here's the full story of Derpla: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqW9p3iBjK-Jnqs

Thank you for saving that sweet baby parrot! How gentle you are with them both. Lovely to watch the interaction! Good owner = Happy and well adjusted birds.

[@lynz45]

This was a precious moment watching Pyro being introduced to the baby and Pyro is making such sweet sounds.

[@uabir8338]

Those tears on the woman's eyes brought tears to my eyes.

[@gloriastiehl2905]

It takes a lot of patience and caring to raise these birds! Plus knowledge and love too!🦜🦜🥰🥰🧡🧡💕💕🧡🧡😘😘

[@niyaw707]

My conure hears your caique making the little purring sounds don't know what they're called, but when your bird does it my bird does it. 😂

[@suparnadebnath1535]

Sooo loving... Look how she or he accepted the tiny one.. See the way he kept grooming and cleaning her feathers...🤗🤗

[@babycoqui]

So sweet, I cried too when he accepted the baby at the end. Love birds 💕

[@Sassafras30]

That is such a sweet thing the Caique is doing, grooming the baby.

[@gemmadidit4118]

Plenty of love to go around...hope everyone is THRIVING!

[@N1ghtFlower]

"WHO THE HELL IS THIS I'M GONNA BITE YOU DON'T TRY MEomg it's so tiny, okay I am now your father, little bald birb, lemme clean your feathers ilysm"

[@YESTWENTYONEWINS]

Immature.

[@3rdclovervalleybrownies661]

Okay, that comment was just a joke, chill. Try to think before you comment/reply.

[@N1ghtFlower]

yeah lol but it's okay, no hard feelings, I just figured they take life WAY too seriously ;p Thanks tho :)

[@duandamais981]

Fuck u all. Leave this video alone.

[@DaWhiteWolffie]

lol pretty much

[@nrgbunni.]

It was so sweet watching him groom the chick

[@QueenofTaterTots]

That is so good on you for making sure the baby had bird contact, not many people realize that handrearing a bird is not cute and should not be done unless the circumstances are special like this, hand rearing them without other parrot contact can cause them to look for mates in humans, not parrots so they get frustrated in us when we groom them even just by plucking pin feathers from the head and neck (you should never touch a mature bird any lower as they have sexual glands under the wings) because we're showing the signs that we want to mate but don't actually start the courtship process, making them turn mean and aggressive, what you've done here is exactly the right thing, with fellow bird contact this little one will hopefully look for birds as mates and not humans, bless your heart.

[@urwow9]

Shinyhunterlobo and ShinyhunterRaven don't know if you already watched the video showing the baby birds journey but actually by the time she got the baby bird, the baby already knew to mate with birds and not human which is why she took in the birdy ~

[@KB4QAA]

Shiny: There are no "sex glands" under the wings. What would they be? Not shown in any anatomy book.

[@youdamanyoudaman]

Never thought of it that way I get pretty mean and aggressive when somebody touches my sexual parts and doesn't give me anything

[@QueenofTaterTots]

@@KB4QAA uh check again, the erogenous zones of a bird are under the wings by the thighs, the chest, the wings, the back between the wings and the tail, just search up erogenous zones of a bird and that'll tell you every spot you can't and shouldn't touch

[@KB4QAA]

@@QueenofTaterTots There is no "gland" there.

[@dianaherron2223]

My heart melted when you cried. That was so touching. You raised a sweet sweet bird.

[@benazir1845]

its too touching .. i also felt the same some days before .. when my mittu met adult mittu.. your too good.. good human being .. god bless all birds and good human beings..

[@TheBaconWizard]

I'm surprised how well this went, caiques are normally aggressive towards another if they aren't siblings.

[@jesschristianson3863]

Such a special moment.

[@gordroberts53]

That was truly a wonderful moment, brought tears to my eyes as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@karenbrown4524]

What a sweet gentle moment and what a small baby! ❤

[@Bb-bk5xg]

You are making me tear up too... So sweet.

[@nikitak5430]

I cry every time I watch this video! So beautiful! 😭

[@charleskummerer]

What perfect babies

[@WickedWebWoman22]

I'm just seeing your video, two yrs. after you published it, lol, and I'm glad I did!! I must admit I cried with you when I saw Pyro beginning to preen the baby!!😚🐦 Birds are a reflection of their humans and Pyro is Glowing with love and calmness. My heart warms to see such acceptance! If only us humans were so patient with one another! I'm curious about this Lil duo & I'm now going to look for updates on them. Take care from one bird mommy to another! 🐦❤🐦 I have a pair of Quaker Parrots that I adopted (adults who are Very hand shy 😯 and I'm tirelessly working on that!😓) and 3 Parakeets, 1 adult & 2 toddlers. They're a bright spot in my day!

[@aminat8746]

At the end the adult one is like " oh, hi there.. "

[@slobodanmartinovic1216]

Trust me, you're not the only one with "wet" eyes 😜 Beautiful .... I suppose we could say that Pyro,by doing that, adopted the little guy almost immediately. 👍👍👍

[@cindyburns593]

So sweet.

[@ceciliaross1444]

How could any one abandon a baby caique like that? I makes me so mad. at least this loving man found her.

[@espi7023]

It's a woman-

[@watermelon4738]

😅

[@uabir8338]

IT'S MA'AM YOU BITCH!

[@Zennofobic]

I'm just as enchanted with the woman's voice as I am with the touching video... is that a Scandinavian language?

[@ImForwardlook]

It is Finnish.

[@sapphicemori4406]

It wasn’t abandoned it just wasn’t growing as fast as the others and was neglected. This was a video of deeply and pyro meeting

[@wendycook9334]

How beautiful....Birds are such beautiful creatures..x

[@louisesmalling]

Love on so many levels

[@bobcollins52]

Very good channels on you tube on all subjects and very interesting hobbys

[@zanottma]

Indeed, Caiques are quick to anger, but they are also incredibly warmhearted and affectionate. My Tuco is an absolute blast ! Coming up on a year since your post. Hope All has gone Well ?

[@mandycandy5626]

omg this is so cute.

[@2lipToo]

So sweet!

[@chrisnnh]

This is why KZbin was invented!

[@chandranapier2259]

A bit of a stretch, I know, but some parrots can be attached to their humans like a mate. What if a reason why he started preening the chick is because he assumed it was hers? “We have a baby now? Oh human, i love him so much!”

[@gemmadidit4118]

You have a tender heart...

[@user-cg7tg2cb2l]

Lol that sound hahahaah Brrrrrrrrrrr

[@jaytaylor7740]

Are they still together? Please update. Thank you.

Love this yeah

[@NorseCode.81]

if you left them alone for five mins that would be a dead baby caique

[@tessaboucquin8317]

Cute I want one

[@magpierose12]

❤️

[@gabriellagdlh3126]

We should learn from the animal world to treat each other the same way, unfortunately we HUMANS do not care about nothing unless there's a profit

[@Flufferz626]

Well caiques either kill or accept other birds smaller. It is often advised that if you have one, don't have it around smaller birds much unless you're experienced like this woman.

[@nobshistoryengineering4421]

Nice birbs

[@rainorcullo9567]

The adult is pyro and the little one is derpa

[@flashlitestriker4028]

[@jaidenvaldez8924]

*gasp* DERPLA!

[@FluffyChanz]

the baby tried to fly away

[@olygarcia5943]

Is it true that Caiques can turn on the owner and are harder to manage when they reach maturity after 3 to 4 years old? Let me know? I’m having second thoughts of getting one because most of the people at the pet stores are telling me this

[@zanottma]

Yes ! .... Destroys everything he gets his beak on...... Short tempered......Dominance challenges.... Flesh tearing bites......BUT,,,,,, also,,,,Dutifully affectionate.......Blast to play with.... Never ending entertainment......Mine is 12 years old. He's mellowed out ,,,, a little. Hope you got one .

I was ok until you started crying, then I realised what was happening. I just lost a big chunk of my masculinity!😂

[@8billionghosts]
