What Are Caique Parrots Like?

Unlike other parrots, Caiques are amazing and fun-filled!

[@theinkeddevil7786]

This really drives home how much of an oddball our caique is. She's a decently calm cuddle fiend who has about a dozen words/phrases she likes to say regularly. We expected a hyper hop, instead we got the sweetest featherball chatterbox we could have asked for.

[@ParrotBliss]

That so wonderful! Your girl sounds like a gem. Yes, if you don't know what happiness is, they will show you! Thank you for posting, it's good to hear that they can learn to talk a little more.

[@duaynecollins9994]

She says ouch a lot.

[@ParrotBliss]

[@dasistjaalbern]

THAAAANK you that you mention to spend time with them and have more and not keeping one lonely poor creature in a cage!

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, I think it's SO important!

[@dasistjaalbern]

@@ParrotBliss Definitely! Plus what most people tend to forget (aside from the bird torture aspects of having only one who is forced to contact the human, the only other living being in his world): They are even cuter when they are together and do their funny bird stuff which they cannot do with humans. And as you show, if you have more AND spend enough time, they will be quite as trusting and close to humans - but with free will :) I am so glad that there are at least some decent bird owners out there! :)

[@ParrotBliss]

@@dasistjaalbern I agree, two is twice the fun, twice the antics and you experience more "parrotness." It makes me sad to see people only getting one...

[@Ralfram]

Wow, that was a really quick response to my question! Thank you very much :-) They are amazing, I smiled through the hole video like a little child! At a rescue in my area they have one black headed Caique (already 20y old), but they give him only in experienced hands, and if you have an adult hen for him (here in Germany you must have at least 2 parrots of each species, preferable of opposite sex and not related). I doubt they let me adopt him, since I had no parrots my during working life. If have still a few years to work, but I am working from home, now. I will see, if I can find an older hen and then try to adopt the cutie from the rescue.

[@ParrotBliss]

I heard that from another person, that you must have two parrots of a species in Germany. I like that. I agree with it generally speaking, after all sometimes there could be some exceptions. I always recommend that people get two parrots of a species. They just are so much happier and they still bond with people. I hope you can find a hen. I don't believe there's any difference between the black headed Caique and the white bellied as far as behavior and personalities go. Keep me updated! I will try to make more cake videos too

[@nitrorc1623]

We have one. Male. It's awsome, sometimes too posessive to me, but on the other hand I can take it outside with no worries, place it on a tree around the house, take it for a ride in my car, walk through the woods with it. It loves to play with my hand, for hours and hours. It talks but only 2 words. It whistles a couple of short tunes. It eats everything and that's what worries me a bit. It drinks Coca Cola and would aslo drink beer and wine if you gave it to him.

[@ParrotBliss]

Your Caique sounds amazing! They are wonderful little, feathered people!

[@meekaboi]

Our young female is a feisty, sweet, stubborn, crazy, loving, and incredibly intelligent little gal who gets along with our cat and bunnies and sometimes our small dog. She lives in my office in an open cage (which he loves and sleeps in) and, given that I telework, spends 3-4 hours/day with me. She does have a very limited vocabulary ("step up," "wanna go poopy") but is mostly a beeper. She also has her morning shriekfest at roughly 10am every single morning. 10/10 love her to death, but I would not recommend one unless you're going to spend a ton of time with them.

[@ParrotBliss]

So you Have a Caique, yes? He sounds like a dream! What's his name? Thank you for posting, I enjoyed reading about him.

[@missysanchezlee919]

Ok. My big question: how THE HELL do you balance your time among all of your birds??? How do you juggle giving them all attention on a daily basis??

I adore these beautiful birds. My question to you, madam, is the price of these birds in your country, America. I am talking with you from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

[@ParrotBliss]

How cool to communicate with someone on the other side of the 🌎 world! What birds were you thinking of for the prices?

[@SpookiCooki]

Yeah that sums them up pretty good. I would also like to add that they are gremlins. Caiques likes to be naughty as soon as you turn your back on them. They chew everything made out of wood and sometimes plastic too. But they are very friendly once you've earned their trust. And btw, there is no difference between a blackheaded caique and a whitebellied caique aside from their appearance. Some people say they have different behaviours but that is simply not true. I have one of each (same sex of course) myself.

[@ParrotBliss]

Thanks for posting- I'm starting a collection of alternate names for parrots: Caiques = gremlins ; Yellow-naped Amazon = Demagorgon; Macaws = monsters! LOL

[@gabrielmartinez-wi8bu]

Of course, they don’t talk like amazon, but my black headed caique, talks a lot

[@ParrotBliss]

That’s awesome! What does yours say?

[@koerdozoetermeer8366]

Do you know the differences between blackheaded caiques en white bellied in personalety and size , thank you very much

[@ParrotBliss]

I don't know the difference between the two Caique species from my own experience. However, I understand that they are very similar. I'm sure there's a difference, even if it's subtle, just never had the pleasure of finding out 🙂

[@clarehodge8834]

I love these, I wonder have you had an Indian ringneck before?

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes - I’ve made a couple videos on them lately too

[@mauriceeley621]

Wow! You’ve had some amazing breeding experiences. Pff- one of my favorites! But, I do just love parrots! Which were the cutest babies? Galah babies seem like they could take the prize

[@sweetchild321]

Hi I did go through ur other video on Caique vs Amazon. Can you suggest which is the best of the two.

[@ParrotBliss]

The point I usually try to make is that it depends on your lifestyle. I can't say because I don't know anything about your lifestyle. For example, an Amazon would not be as good of a choice in an apartment or if you had children- not that a Caique is ideal either. I don't know the circumstances to provide advice and don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

[@chadb7694]

I've been discouraged to get a Caique by a few bird store owners; they say after a year or two they turn into mean terrors. Is this true in your experience? I'm starting to think it is because I've heard it from decent various sources. I'm stumped.

[@ParrotBliss]

[@cornelisstad4029]

High. I have an issue with one of my 2 young caiques and maybe you are willing to help me out. The first one I bought , aged about 7 weeks, there was no issue at all with that caique. Very tame little birdie. The other one I did buy 2 weeks after the first one. Aged about 5 weeks. Also very tame. But now the issue is coming in for me (.) with the second one. Since I have this young one it is screaming almost all day. Baby Caiques do screaming when hand feeding or are asking to be feed. No problem at all for my ears. But this young caique is also screaming after he got his crop full and I take the bird for a 'hug'. Each 5 seconds it produces 4 /5 bursts of screams. When I put the bird back in the big cage with his slightly older buddy, he keeps screaming. Yes, after about an hour screaming it takes a short break for a couple of minutes but then his concert starts again. His buddy, on the other hand, is the opposite, it whistles and chats some caique language. No screaming. 2 questions also: is this normal caique behavior and is there anything that can be done about that constantly screaming. Thanks in advance for your advice.

[@ParrotBliss]

No, this is not normal. Take your Caique to the vet, it may be screaming because it is sick. I hope this solves it for you.

Im asking someone who knows give me an answer I have a Caique female for 3 years. She became very attached to me and when I go somewhere she eats her wings. I decided to buy a male Caigu. I think She accepted a new partner, sometimes she bites him. Is that ok ? and can I keep them together in one cage overnight? Otherwise, during the day, I put them together in one cage.

[@ParrotBliss]

I believe I asked questions about this in another thread

[@naseralnaser3687]

Hello, I’d like to ask you from your experience with caique birds. I had mine since he was hand-fed and now he is around 7 months old. He is very playful and full of energy but the problem is he has a really bad behaviour which is biting fingers, it is more like playful bites but he bites really hard and becomes very compulsive thing. How would you solve this problem? Many thanks

That’s a little exaggerated- Mine do fine with the others. However, they prefer their own kind and can be aggressive with other species.

[@loetje]

At 0:53 , when they start making noise, I think they see a bird of prey outside. Funny how I don't speak Caique, but know this same cawing from the cherry headed conures in the movie "the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill ", and the way they tilt their heads. You are incredible with them! I really love this!😍

Thanks! They are so observation, they also stop and notice any bird flying by-

I’ve had my caique gone on 3 years, I got him when he was weaned.. He’s messy ,silly ,spoiled , and crazy 😂 He loves to hop around . If you love pretty hands don’t get one , my lil guy leaves marks on me every day.. If they don’t get their way , “look out “ cause they go for revenge..

Hi, enjoyed the video. I have just got a new Caique (2 days ago). I have been leaving him be in his cage for now to settle in. Just wondering how long you would recommend allowing one to settle in before letting him out and handling him ?

[@ParrotBliss]

Actually, I don't give any time at all, unless there are issues and the pair doesn't want to be handled. Otherwise, I think starting to bond with it right away is great. It's always worked out very well for us. Congratulations on your new Caique!

[@michaelhornby2961]

@ParrotBliss one of ours is a black headed and very caique like. The other is a bit of an oddity in regards to the fact that she was hand fed as a baby and nearly 2 years in, she's still stuck in baby mode and wants tons of attention, with all the associated baby noises thrown in for good measure. Very cute.

@@ParrotBliss I live in newyork, where is that place located? My amazon got along with all my birds even my budgies, but for some reason my amazon would easily get tired of my caique, 1 time he gave my caique the foot warning not to come close, and my caique still was bothering him, and he gave a warning snap, so from that day I kept my caique away from him, but my amazon loved the budgies and my greencheek, he gets excited when they fly on his stand.

[@reefgratos2035]

Why are they so freaking expensive? A baby cost like $2500 in my area. I used to play with black head at my exotic pet store and they are so funny and cool.. but omg $2500. I had a conure and thats what i can call noisy.. so noisy that i gave my conure to my parents.. its my way to thank my parents for yelling at me all my childhood lol.. so i bought a Senegal instead.. they are cheaper than caique. About the same size, Senegal are much more calm than caique. They talk alot too. I can leave my senegal in its cage for weeks and he doesn,t seem to get bored.. My senegal laught when i make a joke,, im no kidding… i swear my senegal seems to understand what im saying. The only thing i hate is that it has a tendency to only loves me.. he won't let touch him unless its me, it will bite unless i put him on someone else who isn't moving. I wish my senegal was more social.. but i wish i had a caique. But i doubt i have enough time to spend.. and certainly i don't have the $2500 to spend either. My wife won't be very happy if i come home with a caique.. especially if that caique bites. I had been bitten by a small cacatoo once…i was bleeding so much that i had to go to the emergency.. no more big parrot for me. Like in your video, each parrot have their own personality. Some will bite more often than other.
