White-bellied Caique Or Hanh's Macaw?

[@rikkatheconure2395]

Some of those macaws Have really impressive vocabularies. It’s always nice getting a birb that’s particularly talkative XD the conure I have now has the biggest vocabulary of any bird I had, but I think he’s also the most destructive bird I’ve had so....

[@ParrotBliss]

LOL! Hospital February goldfish destruction!

[@yamunadevi68]

I love hearing about the different bird breeds as pets, even though I know there are different personalities in each and every bird, still the general idea, it’s fascinating

[@ParrotBliss]

Thank you for commenting. Yes, it is incredible to learn about so many different parrot species, they are fascinating. I love them and I love sharing my passion!

I have a white bellied caique. Love him so much!! He will be 11 years old tomorrow 1-9-22.

[@ParrotBliss]

That is wonderful! Happy hatch day to him!!!

[@aishaschumann7887]

Thank you for the video! I am currently debating between these two species, I love both of them so much. I am leaning towards the hahns macaw, but would it be okay to only get one? Or do you recommend two of those as well? Thanks!

[@ParrotBliss]

Hi! I do reccomend 2 because Hahn's can otherwise become dependent and needy. With 2, my guess is that this problem is solved. Emerald has adapted, but she's 16 or 17 years old now. And she does have a little bit of anxiety. It has gotten better living with us, but I always wondered if I should her her a friend. Since she had no other animals for 11 years, we figured she doesn't know how to relate, which is sad. She shows no interest in our other birds. It's important for parrots to keep their social and parrot sides too, keeps them happy and healthy.

Always love your videos...so informatove....thanks

[@ParrotBliss]

You're so sweet, Tammy. 😊

So cute, I love caiques but every time I ask about them in birds store they give me negative answers like they. Go crazy and turn on you or they are difficult birds , I know you have several what do you think, I also considering a golden conure

[@michaelhornby2961]

I'd love a Hahn's but...... We have a caique and he wouldn't give us permission lol.

[@ParrotBliss]

You may be right… In my experience, my Caiques like each other, they don’t seek out other parrots. If you only have one, the Hahn’s may befriend him/her once the Hahn’s is an adult. (Can’t mix young parrots with adults without risk).

[@P4sta.]

Thank you!

[@ParrotBliss]

Sure! LMK what you consider next or what you choose

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

I used to deal with a shop that had a very small subspecies of Hahns macaw.I had thought about getting him several times because he was there a long time and I felt sorry for him. I forgot alot of my parrot knowledge that I picked up over the years but I think there may have been 3 subspecies of Hahns.

[@ParrotBliss]

Tx!

I have 5 Caiques, all females. They are fully flighted and all get along. They are little terrorists! We love them. I notice that my white bellied are very bold and self assured. Nothing frightens them. The black headed are a bit unsure of anything new. They also are sweeter. I have one very loud black headed. They all give kisses, laugh and imitate the songs of some of the wild birds. Even when they’re being naughty they keep us laughing. One more thing, my white bellied tend to be a bit more nippy. Messy? They’re little poop machines. They need a ton of toys and interaction. A lot of people are attracted to the beautiful plumage and size. This species will become depressed and pluck if stuck in a cage and ignored. I just found you and love your content. Of course I subscribed. And, I just ordered your book.❤️

[@ParrotBliss]

Actually, I've never had a Black-headed Caique. So, thank you for sharing because it is great to hear about the black versus white-bellied. Yes, they really do make a mess, don't they? They are rascals! I love that you have five, that is so awesome! thank you for subscribing and getting my book! If you like my book please be sure to give me a review on Amazon 😊

[@HaasSpitta]

I love both of these beautiful birds so much. Do you think they could ever get along with each other as a brother-brother or brother-sister type of relationship?

[@ParrotBliss]

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t try… there’s always exceptions, but…

[@p.p.7322]

Hi, but who's most affectionated, cuddle, cute for long time?

[@ParrotBliss]

That may need a new video!

[@p.p.7322]

Great!!! Thank you!

[@asyouwish5652]

How does Caique react when owner is away for weeks? Does it like to be with stranger while we are away?

[@NBay_]

Do you recommend getting a rescue caique.? Also if you get a baby would you be able to tame and train better?

[@ParrotBliss]

Not an sentence-long answer. Will add you to my list of vids to make :)

[@floridamadman59]

Love caiques but very moody!

[@ParrotBliss]

Yeah…. Stubborn!

[@aliwho]

Hi just like 2 say your the double looking 2 nicolette Larson the singer who sadly died a few years back.

[@ParrotBliss]

I'll have to look up who she is 😊

[@richardluong9952]

Wasn’t very Informative to be honest. You went off topic countless times and you’ve barely scratched the surface describing the characteristics and qualities of the different species being compared.

[@ParrotBliss]

I appreciate the comment. Yes, it is easy to get sidetracked with my parents. Perhaps there are some specific questions you have about either species that I could address?

[@squaretriangle9208]

​​@@ParrotBliss is it the spell checker or a Freudian slip that there is written parents instead of parrots?🤭 In fact, both parrots and parents teach you a lot, often things you do not want to hear but have to learn😉😂 I like your style of presentation it's natural and fun and corresponds with the Caique style of self-presentation a 100%👌
