Ziggy is a black-headed caique - average length of an adult caique is 23 cm or 9 inches in length. They weight around 150 to 175 grams or 5.3 - 6.2 oz. Their average expected lifespan is 30 years. They are very distinctive and beautiful in appearance, often referred to as the "Seven-Color Parrot" because of their highly defined black, green, yellow, orange, white and blue feathers. Here is little more about the caique:
- Caiques have probably more energy than any other parrot kept as a pet. Black-headed caiques like to be the center of attention but do NOT require constant attention.
- They can be fun birds to watch as they entertain themselves by playing and wrestling.
- They’ll dangle from your fingers as you walk around the house, throw toys from the top of their playgyms and somersault on the bottom of their cages.
- Caiques are busy parrots who love to learn. They do best when challenged to learn new things.
- They’re clownish and acrobatic and a great companion!
