G maill: xxxx Caiques as Pets Besides their beautiful plumage and playful personality, they are very easy to train, making them highly popular as pets. You can easily teach a caique to lie upside down on your palm and play dead. When you encourage them with rhythmic clapping, these birds will jump around like they are dancing, which is why they are often called the ‘dancing birds.’ These parrots are known to develop a strong bond with their owners. Caique Care If you keep a caique as a pet, you will need a 2-feet cage to house it. These medium-sized parrots are very active, and you will have to take them out of their cage for about an hour for daily exercise. Unlike other birds, caiques prefer walking to flying. They have strong legs, and thus, they love to jump and hop. They will bounce around the house and explore new things. On your part, you need to make sure they are supervised at all times. These parrots have quite a reputation for destructive chewing. Therefore, you need to make sure that you provide them durable toys. Caique Diet As for their diet, you should ideally feed them fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans and supplement the same with high-quality extruded pellets. They should be provided fresh water at all times. Do not feed them avocado pits, raw onions, potato chips, candies, alcohol, rhubarb, etc. You can also provide your pet a birdbath with lukewarm water. We sell only fully weaned babies.
