BLACK HEADED CAIQUES BIRDS
Original price was: $990.00.$490.00Current price is: $490.00.
Black Headed Caiques love attention. They can be quite affectionate and enjoy playing with a human companion or just sitting with them.
For pet Caiques, I recommend a minimum of 24″ x 24″ floor space. A larger, 24″ x 30″ or even 36″ wide is better and will accommodate a future Caique companion! Recommended bar spacing is 3/4″ or 7/8″. However, you can go up to a maximum of 1″. Caiques will use every inch of cage space they are given. A Black-Headed Caiques can make an excellent family companion.
Every hand-fed Black Headed Caiques is weaned on to a high variety diet. They are weaned onto fruits and veggies, a soak and sprout mix we make here in the store, high variety seed that we also make here in the store, and naturally colored pellets. If you have questions regarding this baby or any others that we have available, Please Feel free to contact us for more pictures, videos, and information.

Personality & Behavior on Black Headed Caiques Parrot
Fun is the best adjective to describe caiques. Their questioning, and exploring minds will lead them to every nook and corner if they’re allowed to roam freely. They’ll enjoy playing, socializing, and petting and scratches – but overstep your boundaries, and you’ll earn yourself a nibble or two! If denied toys, food, or places they want to explore, they’ll get grumpy and make a scene to point out their dissatisfaction firmly.Black Headed Caiques Parrot
Care and Feeding
Their fairly simple diet in the wild is easy to achieve in captivity. Most commercial, store-bought seed mixes will cover all the bases for your Black Headed Caique. With added green vegetables and selected fruits like apples and oranges, they will get all the essential nutrients and vitamins that ensure your bird stays healthy.
Diet for Black Headed Caiques birds
In addition to the usual seed and/or pellets, Caiques eat a lot of fruit. They enjoy apples (including the pips, which are not harmful), sweet oranges, sweet grapes (preferably black), pears, and, in season, cherries and pomegranates. Tropical fruits such as guavas, mangos, and passion fruits add variety. They love seasonal soft fruits such as raspberries, redcurrants, blackberries, and cranberries. Note the hazards involved in feeding elderberries and blackberries unless you want your walls dyed black! Hawthorn berries are relished.
