[@fredfreeman2870]

What is your best advice for introducing two Caiques to each other? Thank you, your birds are awesome

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

Sorry for the horribly delayed response - I'm still getting used to how KZbin and it's comments works 🙄 Whenever introducing a new caique to an established flock (even if the 'flock' is just a single parrot) it is very important to keep in mind that the new addition is going through a complete and total life change - and that the established flock now has an "intruder". I always recommend having a complete cage setup for each parrot, as things may or may not work out and you need to be prepared for the worst. After a proper quarantine (usually 2 weeks, with an included vet check, unless you know the addition's complete history) put the new parrots' cage in the same room, within sight and sound of, but not near the established flock... typically, across the room. This allows everybirdy to see and hear each other, without any direct interaction so they become familiar with the new addition, but do not have physical access for safety. After a few days, move the cages close to each other - and as they get closer, be extremely aware of the body language from all involved. Any pulling back of the wings/shoulders, pinning of the eyes, fluffing of the feathers on the back of the neck indicates a negative reaction....move the cages apart again and wait longer. Any of the above body language added to climbing at the bars, banging their beaks on the bars, pacing or stomping about indicates a VERY negative reaction.... Normally with these types of reactions, it's a clear indication that the parrots are not going to get along. If everybirdy involved seems calm and uninterested, you can try having them out in a neutral area together. This MUST be done with your direct and undistracted supervision - caiques are extremely fast at attacking and can injure or even kill another in moments. Have a towel handy in case you need to intervene 😉 Also, never just add one parrot to anothers cage....cage aggression, food aggression, etc can quickly become an accident involving serious injuries or worse. If after several days of short, calm introductions they seem to be getting along, things are likely to be ok to let them out together unsupervised. Typically, caging together takes weeks to months of supervision....though there are times when caiques will become bff's right off the bat - but this is an exception, not the norm. We have 14 caiques, with 13 separate cage 'spaces', and have to separate them into 6 different recess periods for a reason. This is all simply due to who does and does not get along. I hope that helps, and again I apologize for the long delay in my reply.

My caique parrot is adorable little chap. But gets over excited his eyes are pinned then he savages my hand. Tried handling gloves but he not likes them.

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

I use gloves here as well, when needed. They don't like them at first, but do get used to them.

[@michaelliu7379]

These caiques are cute and fun. Are you selling some of them?

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

No, we are a sanctuary. We do not sell, breed, foster-out or rehome our intakes. We have every intention on them safely and happily living out the rest of their lives here 🥰

[@BlutEngelBatty]

holy hell an army of caiques!!!i'm jeslous lol. but they can be aggressive ah. atm i got a amazon and a conure xD

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

Yes, caiques can definitely be aggressive - that is actually why most of them are here, due to aggressive behavior towards their previous parronts 😯

[@jase123111]

Have you ever bred them? I have a 12 foot long aviary in my garden that is now empty. Do you think I could keep about 6 caiques together in there, or would they fight with each other?

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

We do not breed them - the main reason that we exist is because of the already saturated market for parrots. Sadly, there are currently tens of thousands of parrots in rescues, shelters and sanctuarys 🥺 The breeding of parrots for profit and as pets needs to stop, or at a minimum be heavily regulated.

[@Ufthak]

@@ProvidenceMeadowagreed but how to do it and NOT overdo it? In mainland China you can legally own only budgies, lovebirds and cockatiels - for other species one needs a license, which typically only theme parks can obtain. I find it an overkill as it bars normal people from owning a parrot while allowing filthy rich to bribe the officials and have it anyway (and brag online). At the same time millions of parrots belonging to the three allowed species are suffering due to non-restrained breeding by thousands of sellers in a very competitive market, which kind of defeats the purpose of partial regulation like this in the first place. I can’t think of anything to limit their suffering without a complete and thorough ban on breeding and selling of all species.

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

Yes, a 12' aviary would be a great place for them! However, not all caiques get along, which is why we have so many cages, and 6 different recesses. As for breeding, we do not. As a sanctuary we do not sell, breed, rehome or foster out our intakes...there are already tens of thousands of parrots in rescues and shelters already just waiting for loving forever homes, and we refuse to add to the problem.

[@12sRC]

do you breed them?

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

We do not. We are a sanctuary, and as a sanctuary we do not sell, breed, re-home or foster out our intakes - we are their forever home ❤️

How to differ/determine between male and female?

[@ProvidenceMeadow]

There actually is no way to tell them apart visually - caiques are monomorphic, there are no visual differences between males and females.
