Evil Laughing Caique Parrot Plots Mischief!

Eli is trying to find a way around the orchid pot to reach the breakables on the other side.

[@unlikelysquid]

My friend's grandma had a couple of Caiques and one of them picked up a habit of laughing evilly whenever he saw someone hurt themselves(stub a toe, run into something, trip, etc.) It was quite comical.

[@sevengemsstudios9262]

"Hooman! Move this infernal round plant device!!! I must touch the shiny!!!"

[@lass-inangeles7564]

His colors are spectacular! What an expressive fella. Muttering away in frustration not getting to the coveted spot behind the pot. Such a vocal range, amazing. They must be really fun to be around. I bet if we had some parrots in nursing homes, patients would heal faster.

[@WobblesandBean]

I love the little growling sounds she makes, hehe! I love Caiques!

[@lynz45]

He sure wants to be in that dark corner doesn't he. Mine love to be in dark places too. Sometimes I'll drape some material over something like a fort and let them play underneath it; you should hear the happy sounds they make! Eli is so adorable and so vocal ♡

[@lmbarak]

This is one of the prettiest little parrots I've ever seen!

[@higgins382]

I've just bought one. Make no mistake, I am his pet, he is not mine. They really are clowns, I just love him to bits.

[@poppykok5]

This *GORGEOUS* guy sounds like he might be slowly running out of "helium"...I LOVE it... *: )*

[@gloriastiehl2905]

Eli is saying I'm not giving up!! Love him!🧡🧡💋💋💕💕❣️❣️🥰🥰🐦🐦

[@lynz45]

Eli is adorable! I have my 4 caiques (Maggie, Spencer, Daisy & Gypsy) watching Eli and listening to the precious sounds he is making. Caiques are tree dwellers so they love to go into dark places. Mine have many covered areas in their bird room so they can explore.

[@iGoldenBen]

Brilliant, i love my caique to bits! Love the deep laughing

[@jmatwood]

A couple of years late, but that looks exactly like nesty behavior. :) My gold cap conure makes those noises and acts in a similarly singleminded fashion when he's identified what he thinks might be a good place for him to make a nice nest. The whole video cracked me up completely. Thanks for posting it. :)

My caique laughs after he bites us. He is a troll.

There are some breakables back there. He never gives up :)

Something to do with nesting, it like the space but cannot maneuver or manipulate it.

[@leporellothegoldfinch]

Caiques are so smart!!

[@caiquecarvalho771]

Thanks!

[@RashedAhmedification]

hi nice video thanks for sharing , i have a caique and i want to give him fresh fruits and veggies what do you recommend me to give him ? thanks.

[@poofypoofball3879]

Cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, ocras, romaine lettuce, apples without the pits/seeds, pomegranates, bananas, berries, watermelons, honeydews, papayas, broccolis, etc.

[@storytime9315]

I have my bird on my shoulder he jumped off now hes attacking the screen

[@michele6740]

Well that was disturbing.

[@shanea595]

I want one😢

[@olygarcia5943]

Is it true that after 3 to 4 years when Caiques reach maturity they become unmanageable and turn on you? I’m having second thought buying one because a lot of people at the pet shop say that these birds are dangerous after 3 to 4 years when they reach maturity.

"Rosemary's Bird"

It is not evil! It just want some petting on the head and is a bit paranoid like any good parrot. You can tell by its tiny body language

[@mustafapnar7824]

I want too.where can i get it.(caique) ım from turkey

wish I had one, I had Sun Conure but she died after having her for. 19 yrs

[@jcstang8952]

What a weirdo lol

[@XxXMidnightblackXxX]

I think it's showing nesting behaviours. Many pet parrots will search the house for secure and hidden areas that look like a good nests.

[@philosophersink7072]

XxXMidnightblackXxX Read the description. Not nesting behavior.

[@Blue_Lugia]

Is this the Parrot version of Mr Bean??

[@juliajuly3673]

a-ha-ha-ha)))))

[@GregoryDolecki]

Can he say any words at all? Did he actually learn that laughing sound, or is it just one of his noises?

[@Alexae67]

+Gregory Dolecki He says "poor baby boy Eli Birdie" and variations of that. He also screams "HUNGRY" when it's time to eat. He'll rarely say "I love you," but most often he says "I love Eli Birdie!"

[@GregoryDolecki]

Thank you so much! What do you think is the limit for a talented Caique like him? Does it depend on how much you want to repeat for him? Maybe some English sounds are too hard to make? What do you think?

[@Alexae67]

Most Caiques aren't talkers, but it's all up to the individual bird. I've never really tried to teach him words, but he does surprise me with things he knows. I also have found that he understands language far more than what he verbalizes. He understands jokes, too. When friends are over, if someone says something funny, I'll hear him start laughing from the other room before any of us have a chance to laugh first.

does he ever deliver you some pretty nasty bites? ive heard horror stories about caiques

[@rogermastrude1266]

I've had them for 20 years. Depends on the bird personality, and if you can win their love they may stop even with an agressive one.

[@northline5670]

Roger Mastrude ! Do they have time to cuddle their human and enjoy to sit stil om the sholder too? I am about to buy a parot after the hollyday, but mohst important to me is what I mentioned with connecting and cuddle and be able to bring it out after I tame it and that it dosn' t make our naighbours complane with noys. I have time becaus I m home a lot.Have so much love to give...This bird is one of the cutest. Also Eklyptos, I adore and Syn conure, but the looks isn't the mohst important .To find one thats right for me and my 11 year old, is mohst important.Green cheek conure, seams like a good match for us, but still havn't found a baby one where I live. Asked a lot of you tube people, but no answers yet. Any type of parot you think can be a candidate? 🐣🐦😍

[@RegrettablyLongwinded]

NORTH Line Whatever you decide on, please consider a rescue/sanctuary first if there are any near you! Many people get a bird who are totally unprepared for it, so sanctuaries are frequently overloaded, at least where I live. An adult bird already has an established personality, so there are fewer chances for unwelcome surprises as they age, and the sanctuary staff often get to know the bird extremely well before offering it for adoption.... This means you can have a bird expert help you select exactly which parrot might be right for you and your child :)

[@jordangagat]

Satan plan

[@NorseCode.81]

This is identical to mine, he looks the same and he acts the same. He knows what he's not allowed to damage but as soon as I walk out of the room and come back in he'll be damaging it to get my attention and it's just crazy. It breaks my heart because hes ruined so much of my belongings and he gets excited when I get angry even if I get angry to the point where I nearly kill him, he knows hes been a naughty boy but the next day he'll do the exact same thing. You could snap his legs and pull his Wings off and you can guarantee the next day he will be trying to destroy everything. I'm at the point now where I can't even let him out of his cage unsupervised for more than one second. He's like oh he's left the room, right where's that thing I was not allowed to damage before because that's what I'm going to destroy 😔

[@lynnenyc5037]

Please don't kill your bird! Parrots can be trained but punishment or discipline is useless! The are hard wired to chew and destroy things. It is just what they do. Eli seems to be quite hormonal and has the urge to merge big time!

[@Vic64Y]

*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS* : The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at serious risk. The owners of canaries, parrots, cockatoos, budgies, cockatiels, etc., WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering an unexpected, painful and practically inevitable PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE. Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 7 years of age of the more than 14 that they can live. It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it! This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds. *Also the breeding paste and its pigments, the fruits and the sunflower seeds can attack the liver* if they are taken too much or for too long. It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when their visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates. *SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE* : First, progressive sadness and/or pecking, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish poop (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a heart infarct). For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits, vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. *Without liver protectors, it's almost certain that your bird will die early and in many cases you won’t be able to determine its real cause* . Hepatic lipidosis it's not only deadly by itself when the visible symptoms begin (sometimes even it does not warn at all until few moments before the death). Even before the acute phase it predisposes the bird to suffer infections, as it weakens the immune system. Obese pet birds have an higher risk of many other diseases, like arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Obesity in birds it's not so apparent but it's more dangerous than in other animals like mammals. So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds. *PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT* : The time to act is NOW that your bird doesn’t have yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days). And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food a LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTOR that includes carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add a DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTOR with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract)* . Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know. It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. *But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying for hepatic lipidosis in a large number of cases (likely, in most cases)* . Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more so as the bird ages. Webs on FLD: www.beautyofbirds.com/liverdisease.html Liver disease is a slow, on-going progressive disease where the liver tissue is replaced with fat. When the liver disease has progressed, the bird may suddenly appear ill. www.lovinghands.com/forms/Hepatic%20Lipidosis%20-%20Fatty%20Liver%20Disease.pdf One of the sadder diseases many avian vets see is that of hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. It's sad in a number of ways since often the birds are very ill, life-threateningly so, or possibly having died suddenly. Often the owners have been unaware of the dangers of feeding their beloved pet the seeds, peanuts, or other fatty foods the bird obviously loves to eat. These are truly cases of "loving your bird to death". Any bird can fall victim to fatty liver disease. www.researchgate.net/publication/46105643_Treating_liver_disease_in_the_avian_patient Dietary deficiencies of lipotrophic factors such as choline, biotin, and methionine may decrease the transport of lipids from the liver. www.veterinaria.org/revistas/redvet/n111110B/111004B.pdf The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may arrive late. Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. We must closely investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that don’t harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from vets, breeders, etc. and procure the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird doesn’t improve, it's necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. It's necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient vet experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it's convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it’s better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered. A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.
