One of the things we LOVE is the variety of birds we get to hand-raise. If you want a FUN bird that has the personality, the looks, and a busy... busy and zany attitude in a small package - check out the Caique. We just welcomed 3 baby Black-headed Caiques to our nursery the other day. Here is a brief video. This lot is selling for $895 each if you know someone interested in a sweet companion.
From Bird Channel: There are two species that make up the Pionites genus have more energy than probably any other parrot kept as a pet. Caiques are nonstop. They’ll dangle from your fingers as you walk around the house, throw toys from the top of their playgyms and summersault on the bottom of their cages. They’re clownish, acrobatic and a – in a word – handful!
