Who Makes A Good Caique Friend? Green-cheek? Senegal? Quaker?

[@HeritageHighlandAcres]

I love watching videos of caiques, they are absolutely hilarious,but I am not cut out for that level of energy. I know my limits. Lol

[@ParrotBliss]

It’s good to know- and they are energetic!

[@1hawaii21]

I’m very fortunate. My flock of caiques do get along. They have established a pecking order but it is variable. Since they are little wack jobs they are often too much for most people. Mine are happy and naughty. They truly don’t stop. And, they get into everything. Maybe my husband and I are a little crazy but we adore our flock. I would strongly suggest having two of the same or one white bellied and one black headed. They truly complement each other.😀

[@ParrotBliss]

Agree- They are so happy together!

Thank you!

So sweet 😊. My greencheek is very hormonal at the moment, one of my greencheek's who was so sweet and never put any pressure when nibbling is now, puffing up, lunging and biting. 😢 the other greencheek hasn't changed at all.

[@ParrotBliss]

How old is he?

[@clarehodge8834]

There both about 2 year's old. Only yesterday I stopped feeding fruit, and the results have been amazing. Overnight he's stopped the lunging and hissing. Looks to be back to his sweet little self 🥰

I think Caiques are Keas for the handbag. They have the same attitude and curiosity, but not the strength to destruct your home in one afternoon. I love them, but descided they are not a good choice for first time parrot owners (so I went with Jardins *lol*). kisses back from my Jardins ;-) Dirk

[@ParrotBliss]

I’m happy that I got kisses back from your Jardins! Yes, Caiques can be a handful- Jardines are supposed to be wonderful!

[@Ralfram]

@@ParrotBliss Oh yes, they are wonderful :-) ... as long you are quick enough to keep them away from your glasses and your fitness watch. And they destroy all zippers they can find in seconds! It seems they are more agile than your capes, but a lot calmer than the caiques. I made the right choice, I think :-)) Could Jardin's be the right companions for your hawkhead? With 250 to 320 grams, they match in size, and they are not too aggressive.

[@ParrotBliss]

@@Ralfram They may be a good size, Jardines, to be a companion to my Hawk-head, but she hasn’t been friendly with other parrots. She is nice to me but stays away from everyone else so far.

[@nickbailey5201]

My jendays are quite playful they roll around on their backs a lot and play fight

[@ParrotBliss]

That sounds like these guys! I hear somebird squeak and think, I need to record them! Then they see my phone and stop!

I have caique and green cheek conure ...they love each other 😍 they sleep together and they do everything together except came the food caique dont love sharing 😑 and fun fact : my caique is chill more than green cheek conure . my green cheek conure always imitate the behaviour and over it ( she is such a drama queen )

[@ParrotBliss]

They sound wonderful, thank you for sharing about them. It’s good to know they can make friends

[@rosidragon40]

I am looking into getting another parrot I have a sun conure will the caique be great to have to my flock

[@ParrotBliss]

Hard to say, could be if they are the only 2. Caiques can be very aggressive with other spices

hello everyone I need advice I have a female Caique 3 years old She became very attached to me I was on vacation for 3 weeks My sister took good care of her when I came back she ate a wing and was sad I decided and bought a male Caique She accepted him I put him in a cage during the day. My problem is during the night. What should I do? She has a wooden house inside the cage during the day she lets him in that house and they play, but in the evening he gets angry and screams and he is scared of her and I have to keep him in another cage. what to do, how to make them sleep together in one cage?

[@ParrotBliss]

How old is he? Can you take the wooden house out during the night?

[@Min-Ting]

Love your video education !! I wonder if having a Caique and a Quaker in separate cages, is that a good companion to them? (I mean.. I know it’s not good enough as having two play together in the same cage but just in case something bad happens when no humans are around ) Thank you so much !

[@ParrotBliss]

I think they could be friends, but mine aren’t, so I don’t really know

[@sky5oh]

I have a male and female Indian ringneck, thinking about getting a caique, would those be a good mix???

[@ParrotBliss]

great question! Do your IRN get along? I ask because hens can be aggressive and unfriendly- Caiques are awesome, but they are very social and they play, like kids doing a rough and tumble with each other. IRN aren't like this at all. They keep their distance and are a more independent species. Can you have them in the same home? If you have enough room for them to fly around without having to be too close together if they don't want to be- then yes. However, get 2 Caiques. They will be so much happier! They will have playmates when you aren't around and, if you spend time with them, they will adore you too!

[@sky5oh]

@@ParrotBliss thank you for your response! I got my Female IRN back on June 7th she was hatched on March 28th. I got my Male IRN back on July 19th he was hatched in January. Currently I’m keeping them in separate cages, they show interest in each other however when I actually put her in his cage she’ll pester him until he gets irritated and then he’ll follow her around the cage lol. Still trying to get them calm around each other, my male is a goof my female is more mellow. It’s insane how different their personalities are. And with Caiques I absolutely love their personalities and I think they are beautiful birds which leads me to wanting one of them however just gotta do my research first

[@shadevelt]

are irn aggressive?

[@sky5oh]

@@shadevelt not necessarily I do know my girl is a tad bit feisty and my boy is humble and skittish lol

in switzerland i think irn need to be kept in pairs, will two males go together?@@sky5oh

[@jase123111]

What other kinds of parrots are not 'one person birds'?

[@watchdealer]

What did the two Hitlers comment mean? That was strange. I don't think of birds in the same sentence as Hitler.

[@ParrotBliss]

Have you experienced a Caique? I’m exaggerating, mean no offense. Just trying to give an idea as to how ready to own the world Caiques are. They are wonderful, but also a challenging species. They do best with people who I can handle a force to be reckoned with- with a strong beak!
