Hi,
My name is Anouk and I'm new here
The last couple of weeks i've been reading a lot on this forum, but also on other bird forums.
For the last year we've been thinking (my boyfriend and i) of getting a new bird.
We moved last year, and wanted to wait, till we found some peace in our new home and our other 2 birds we're also settled.
We have a Forpus of 1.5 year called Puck and a Parakeet of 9 called Sookie.
We gave especially Sookie a long time to adapt to her new home. I have her from little.
But now we want to adopt a Caique.
It's something i've been thinking of for quite some time. However it is a very unique bird.
I read a lot into housing, care etc etc, but i would like some experiences from people, if you don't mind sharing.
The part i doubt most about is the fact that i read that Caiques don't get a long well with other birds.
Does anybody know if this is also with baby caiques. Like when they grow up together?
This is really crucial, 'cause i don't want to take a high rish with my other 2 birds.
I know that there is always a risk of not liking each other, i have experience with that from the past, but it is not an option if they would fight till the death of another bird.
Also the 2 we've got now can fly around the house all day, also if we're not around.
There places / cages are 24/7 open. Is this also possible with a well trained caique?
I know these are some weird questions, but when i take in a new bird, i want to make sure i can give it the best possible care and home.
Thank you very much for the help.
