"Stop talking about me and play with me! Look, I'm being a cute goofball bird so all your attention should be on me!"
Been living with one of these lil' characters for over 20 years now! He's less a pet and more a member of the family. Something the video fails to mention is that Caiques don't just 'bond' with one person like some parrots...if the whole family spends time with them, they'll 'bond' with the whole family. Hell, he even likes strangers most of the time! Basically anyone who pays attention to him is okay in his book =D
How is dealing with the "bad" side of them... I hear as lovely as they are that same energy is put into aggression. What are you experiences?
@@krueger6823 they can throw temper tantrums,more than aggression then you just give them a time out in their cage..they won't generally calm down them selves its not aggression tho
Cassuttus Tshirt Is it true that Caiques can turn on the owner and are harder to manage when they reach maturity after 3 to 4 years old? Let me know? I’m having second thoughts of getting one because most of the people at the pet stores are telling me this
@@olygarcia5943 Caiques have hormonal "phases" that they go through usually 1-2 times per year that I've seen where they can be very aggressive. I've had caiques for 13 years and my oldest (almost 13) didn't start having hormonal issues until he was about 7 years old. He would literally attack me and I was honestly scared of him for about 2 weeks. His vet gave him an implant to suppress his hormones that worked. Now I have to get the implant for him maybe once per year unless I get lucky. Also, caiques need to be properly trained from early on in their life. This can help with the hormones. Just think long and hard about getting a caique and if you don't have much experience with them I would advise against it.
@@leximovies You cant get experience with them unless you start somewhere , I say whoever wants a caique or any parrot should get what they want and just do their homework on certain things they arent sure about..
I was sold after hearing *a puppy in a birds body*
We have a 4.5 month old White Bellied Caique and he is quite the little handful. I wouldn't change a thing about him though. He is sweet, adorable, energetic, and above all, HILARIOUS! Quite the different personality than our 11 yr old Amazon. Thanks posting this video!
I saw one playing under a newspaper at a pet store once! So freaking cute
You described our white bellied caique to a T! Amazing how consistent their personalities are. And as with most parrots, the more time you spend with them, the better. These little jokers are particularly demanding, but very much worth it!
My older sister has a white bellied caique, and he is quite the character!
I brought my Starling into this place many years ago trying to figure out her feather issues and they figured out the problem..much respect for them even looking at her
She is very cute. And also the Bird.
My caique has never purposely nipped me. He only get a little excited when we wrestle and he starts to naw harder, They are wonderful pets
Interesting info
Really great videos. But please please start using a microphone clipped to your shirt. It will add a bit of a professional touch to videos. Also maybe add additional lighting .
God bless you
she is extremely cute ( not only the bird)
She is gorgeous !!!!!!! The bird is pretty too
Watch your bird... its getting excited
Great video! I have a white bellied Caique and love him! We also have an African Grey, GW Macaw, Umbrella Cockatoo and a Senegal and raise lovebirds too :)
Hi, I know your comment is a few years old, but I was wondering how loud caiques are compared to lovebirds, as I have a 15 year old lovebird (who now lives with my parents, as I'm at university) and am considering getting a caique in a few years. Are caiques louder? Is their voice more high pitched when they "talk"? Do they have an actual scream (and is that the one that seems high-pitched in videos?) they only do to get attention or is it more like the "I'm just talking to you"-scream lovebirds have? I live in Germany now and pet stores here don't have actual birds so I can't just go to one to find out myself and it is hard to tell in videos, as microphones pick up bird screams kinda weird. Of course, I will definitely visit a breeder or something and meet a few caiques before getting one later on.
I really hope you reply and if you do, thank you so so much! Greetings from Germany!
Sana all..
Ur very nice thank u
I want to adopt caique,they are so intteligente and funny :)
They can also be hormonal and aggressive. It's not all fun games!
@@leximovies so what?
@@leximovies No parrot, Animal or human is perfect..
I have a white belly clique at home and they are awesome
I'd like to take that bird home with me!
Oh and the caique is cute too...
So clever.....
Creep
I have two caiques. One is really laid back and the other one is just nuts. My white bellied caique, around new people, will just shy away, but my black headed caique around new people will actually attack so we don't introduce her to people
How do you get his feathers and body hair so good
I just play with my caique till she falls alseep in my shirt :D best birb of all timez :D :D :D
Awww, yours snuggles and falls asleep in your shirt, too? That's just so special, having a little animal trust you so much that s/he crawls down your shirt to snuggle and sleep =) Then you very gently take that sleepy little parrot and put him/her in their cage...I love Caiques!
I know what he wants. He wants to get off of her and play with all that variety of items on the table.
Then he would've just flown. XD
can you show a green cheek conure?
how much does this breed go for
I'm really interested but looking for something in my budget
Could you do Pionus parrots?
Hey, i have a kakariki, would these two get along? :)
Hello, I ask you for help my 150-day - old caique parrot has been crying and squealing constantly for the last 15 days, especially when it is placed on my hand or shoulder outside the cage, I am in a very difficult situation, I am sad what do you think I should do to recover from this situation, it is very dependent on me, not sick or hungry, you have encountered such a situation. Sincerely.
When will the next species be shown? Is this a once a year type of video?

Hi! Thank you for your video! My husband and I want to get a bird. We have always had parakeets but now we are looking into buying a bigger bird. We are looking for a cuddly bird. After doing some research we were determined on getting a sun conure since all the reviews said suns are known to be cuddly. However, we have been into a few bird fairs and every single person we have met have told us that the suns are too loud and the most returned bird 🙁 My husband now is not interested in a Sun. We are doing our homework before buying a bird because we want to make sure we give the bird the family it deserves. We know these birds can live for 30+ years so we want to be responsible. We never had children 😞 so this is going to be our forever baby 🤗 We are very excited!! I'm still in love with sun conures, my husband is in love with the other types of conures but now that I've been looking at videos and reviews about caiques I am falling in love with them....🙃 ah! Decisions!! What would you recommend us as new owners of a bigger bird? Which bird or birds do you think we should focus on?
Get a caique,best bird ever
Green cheeked conure, if you didnt buy it yet. It has pretty much the same personnality as the sun conure, but is in the lesser noise level of pet birds.
Focus on your husband's bird and have kids. :)
J B 😂🤣😂Will do. Thank you.
@@evryknee4176 how is it? Is it doing well? Remember its your job to take care of that bird... if you wont? Others will... i might volunteer. ;) (if he is cute) let it grow well okay. ?!? 😅🤣😂 tell your husband to thank me later for reminding you that. ;) haahahahahaha
I've always been wondering how you pronounced the word caique...
I have one caique and would possibly want to expand in the future? He doesn't respond very well to other birds well so I think it may be impossible, any tips on making him less bird aggressive? Or should I just keep him solo?
Holay peno I have been told it is hard to introduce a solo Caique to another unless they have been raised together. So if you ever wanted 2 you should get them young and raised together. Otherwise, they may be aggressive towards each other.
I have a Black Capped Caique , When ever he gets angry He will start screaming and attack his leg I have had him for a few weeks. Can someone please tell me what this is like a behavioral issue or, Maybe he has a medical problem. Thanks
i have a jardines that plays too much. adorable, but painfully adorable. bigger stronger beak than a caique.
My White Bellied Caique Baby will be home this April 2016. Is it true? that White Bellied Caique are more calmed and easy to trained that Black Headed Caique ! Thank you
How much attention does it really need(If kept alone and not in pairs)? Is it okay to leave it alone for a big part of the day to go to work/collage?
bert scholliers ...They need A LOT of attention and would not do well left alone for several hours.. They are very intelligent and will get bored and lonely easily
I thought my caique was a sun conure for a week. her name is Doodle and is very hyper
It would be impossible to have one right now since I still live with my parents (I'm 17), and we have dogs. I think it would be way too dangerous to take that risc. But I am seriously thinking about having a caique one day! (Or two of course.)
the sadness of being a kid :/ have to wait till after college to get something u truly enjoy
Also beware, they pack a punch on those bites. Just a little heads up ;)
Are caique louder than love birds ?
Do they get along with dogs?
I really want a birdie companion but we live in apartments that are very close together so I need to get a parrot that doesn't screech too much. I've fallen in love with these little white bellied caquies but I am worried that having one might upset some of our more "sensitive" neighbours. Any advice? Do they make excessive noise and screech a lot?
+Chante' Brotherton a meyer parrot is a good option, or a cockatiel!
+Chante' Brotherton i asked for a bird that would not screech a lot in apartments when i was bird shopping and was advised that a caique would be a good match. cosmo is more quiet than other bird breeds but does chirp and whistle and occasionally scream at the top of his lungs. so they are probably a 4 on a scale of 1-10. if you need quieter i would go for a cockatiel!
How much does a qaigue cost
I want too.where can i get it
I want to know how they interact with other birds, I have two cockatiel but I want a caique because they are so much fun ... can they live with cockatiel of course in another cage ?
They are ok with other birds most of the time, but they can become incredibly territorial and hurt the other birds really badly (which is common) and they absolutely have to be in different cages if you get one
more caique vids!

What did you use to make the intro
A video
what do you mean by nippy?

I see your comment is 3 years old and you have probably already received the answers you were looking for.
We got a white bellied caique a few years ago. A female. We got it from the animal rescue league, it previous owner had passed away. She was fine at first, my daughter (12 at the time) was hesitant with her. She was fine with me but about 6 months would start to bite me. She would fly off the chair or her cage and go to land on me but end up clamping her beak into my arm or neck. Once they do it’s hard to get them off, and it hurts! I went to let her climb onto my hand once and she bit into my finger. She drew blood each time, feels like a pair of pliers being squeezed on you. I now leave her in the cage, and my daughter has warmed up to her, plays with her, and the parrot hasn’t bitten her yet. It still tries to go after me when I enter a room, so we keep the door closed. I would get rid of it but my daughter would be sad
Are they affectionate and would one get along with my quaker?

What about bird aggression? I keep reading that it's a big thing with caiques, but they are flock bird, my guess would be it's about socialisation, if they spend too much time as an only bird, I assume excitement would grow dangerously high when meeting a new bird, which could easily lead to fights, hence they have a bad reputation for accepting new birds!
Lord Byron’s The Giaour brought me here.
hi nice video and thanks for sharing, I want to know do caiques talk ? and how do it breed them ?
what about Pionus parrots?
Its not like you can tell the attitude of all caiqes d00d. I like to think all birds have their own personality
Is it play nippy?
Forty. Five. Years!? 😦
Sh*et
Are they compatible with sun conures
if sun conure is older (not more that 2 yo) and if she is well brought up everything should be okay.
I have 2 parrots, but they are so agressive and noisy...all they do is eat and fight...please what do you think i can do? plus they hate being handled else they will bite you hard..
where did u get em and how old are they ?
you need to dominate them. grab them firmly, but GENTLY on either side of the head with your thumb and index finger to control their head, and tip them onto their back in your hand while holding the head. do not yell, scream, or be mad at them when you do this. The sole purpose of the exercise is not to instill fear, or pain, but to get a very simple message across. if you continue to bite me, I will continue to do this back to you. that's it. talk gently to them and VERY gently stroke their neck, cheeks, and belly as you hold them. do this for a minute or two then immediately put them back in their cage and give them a very yummy treat. and praise them, and continue to talk softly to them. then do it again. be prepared to take more bites, but these will be the beginning of the end once your bird realizes
1. you mean it no harm
2. you won't be taking its shit.
this is not abuse, it's not about retribution or violence. it's about communicating boundary lines and respect in a universal language. Not only will your bird realize biting the hand is a pointless endeavor, but you will also learn when to respect your bird`s own wishes and autonomy. eventually it'll learn to communicate it's feelings and displeasure with you WITHOUT having to resort to violence, but you also need to learn when to listen.
it's not about a power trip, they aren't dogs who will obey your every command, and owning a bird requires you to shed a bit of ego. it's merely about teaching the bird how to respectfully communicate its feelings to you.
I don't mean to be a "Debbie Downer", but you should take great care in promoting caiques as pets. Caiques require owners who have LOTS of caique experience and parrot experience. Any parrot should be considered a long term commitment (at least 30+ years) and shouldn't be taken lightly. Caiques can be fun to watch and play with, BUT they also have a dark side and some people say that caiques are "bi-polar" (there's no scientific evidence to back that up, but I have 13 years of experience with them). They can be playful, cuddly, and cute and then one day their hormones kick in and they will viciously attack you for a month straight. PLEASE: do not get a caique if you if have little to no experience with birds!
Maybe u can help me.
My Caique is always really low on energy and holds herself up by her beak... and she barley eats..
She also has a little wound on her beak and i dont know where it came from please help me i dont want her to die if its a sickness..
Go to a vet. Well i hope he is better now.
J B shes better now she is eating fine now but sadly :( my other parrot has died from old age😭😭 they were together in a cage and now shes calling her everyday :( i miss her so much
@@venusxskull2291 oh yeah.. that is sad.... but you still have each other... so life must go on. Next time, if you'll have the extra time and resources, then you may probably get him/her a new buddy.
From where are you anyway? If its okay to ask.
My bird cockatiel are aggressive to me they only come to eat from my hands and neglect me after
Who is this girl?
Someone far... i can very well take care of your bird more than that girl can. ;)
whats your name
Are they loud
Megan Nguyen All parrots are loud at some point. A Caique will not be as loud as a Cockatoo, but they have their moments.
i assume it would nto be able to potty train a parrot?
There are several articles online on how to potty train your parrot
How can you tell if the white bellied caique is a male or female?
Guadalupe Rocha i think the male's head is black
ThePapino134 that's just the species. I have a female white bellied caique, I only found out she was female by going to the vet. I think the feel for how the bones are, kinda like people's bones.
+ThePapino134 The black headed caique is actually a different species of caique. You can't really tell unless you get their DNA tested in most cases
A bird that is always turned on 😬
Yeah baby... hahaha just like your naughty bird. ;)
That caique wants whatever is on the table in front of it xD
ohhh so its not prenounced white belly cake?
yea i got a question... what's your number?
lafeber.com/pet-birds/find-a-bird/ this is a link that will give you helpful information when looking to add a feathered family member.
Girl is much cuter
amaryllis massacre thanks
Interesting, she doesn’t know how to hold still for the bird, to give a stable perch. Not listening to any of her advice.
this is nothing specific about Caiques other than basic knowledge about birds in general. wasted video
