4 year old White Bellied Caique Parrots

2 brothers, Tiger and Sunny, who've been together since hatching from the same clutch of eggs. Our playing has only gotten better and more in tune over time. Quite amazing and unique birds these Caiqies. They can be demanding (think ADHD) and screech at times but it's worth it. Best friends forever.

People in the comments don't know anything about caiques, these birds would bite you really hard if you hurt them or annoyed them but they didn't, it's fiiine

I have a female about a year old, she acts exactly like these guys. Very good representation of the breed. They just need proper interaction from the time they are hatched and they will act like this. Amazing pets.

A bird video that goes for more than 5 minutes... Finally, what the world needed!

So much fun to watch these two clowns! And the coloring is gorgeous. That Never seen a green so rich and inviting. I have to find that shade and use it. Nature's color palette is incredible.
Obviously these Caiques love you and interact with a great deal of trust and affection.
What is the routine care for these parrots - beaks, nails, anything else? What do they eat?

FYI for viewers: These birds live 40 yrs, make a great deal of noise, need specialty vets, require CONSTANT interaction, need experienced owners to understand bird signs of sickness/diseases/care, and are not for the casual pet owner. Birds are the descendants of dinosaurs. They are not accessories, 'cute pets', or image enhancers, or novelty items. They are especially not garden fixtures to be ignored. There are too many cases of bird abuse and neglect which is horrifying and shameful for the human race. Do not cage an animal and abuse it with neglect because it looks so cool on Youtube, or to make Youtube movies. They have feelings, high intelligence, and high emotional needs as social animals.

Its a lifetime commitment. Worse than raising a child which takes only 20 yrs. Do not get birds of any kind, especially parrots which are very social flock animals, if you cannot put in the work involved. It looks cute on Youtube but a big part of your life will revolve around the birds. Noise is a concern with neighbors too. A stressed out parrot will pull out its feathers and you will feel guilt all the time. Do not get a parrot unless you are 100% committed to its care for 40 yrs. The macaws will outlive you at 150 yrs lifespan so you need a backup person or two that is familiar with the bird who will take over its care and not dump it at a shelter.

They love to wrestle and play rough! Hilarious babies!

[kevinkalkandis]

I grew up with all different types of parrots I can tell these caiques are very strong and can be Realy agresive compared to other parrots so don’t let that cuteness fool you

[gloriastiehl]

I never heard of caiques before until I saw them on YouTube. I love them..their noises, playfulness, laying on their backs, marching, everything about them. They're fun and beautiful birbs!!🦜🦜🧡🧡🤣🤣💋💋🥰🥰

[garatias]

i have a caique and (he) peaches is just like that! i play with peaches and pumpkin (my new caique) together and they love bouncing!

[kennethhargrove]

I was working in a pet store and we got a caique in. The bird loved to hand wrestle - it was almost like playing with a puppy. As the store trainer I would try to take time to work with the various animals to help make them more tame, and the caique and a quaker were my favorites.

You know what they say....'Never over stimulate your birds unless it's a caique' haha

[zztom-vipq]

how can I express my jealous of the man who have two little baby brids that are so funny and kind❤❤❤

[dralbertpakin]

I want one of these birds but I have female cats. But they are just so cute I never realized that some birds are just so playful.

[sundaemunday]

Aweeee! I love these little guys! I have a male caique, his name is Mario and he loves hopping.
I got him round about may this year. So he’s quite new but he’s getting used to us, I saw him sliding his beak across our tiles!
Good luck with your little birdies!

For a people wondering Caiques really like rough play and wrestling. This is pretty normal behaviour, as a Caique owner I see they are having a blast of a time.

a rare time when i press the subscribe button. so positive.. me same with dogs all the time, fully dysfunctional for society.

[barbaralevel]

Very cute. I see people remarking too rough. Apparently they don’t know how to have fun with animals or birds. I play like that with my Quaker and he loves it. It looks like he’s biting me too but he’s not. He’s a hand fed baby 4 month old. He was scared of things but I play like that with him and now he loves everyone except one of my dogs and loves to yell and play. Other people’s birds must be bored. I’m going to get one of these cuties too.

I only just learned about these things’ existence and I have been loving binging Caique videos... I would love to have one but I have no experience owning birds and I know they require a ton of stimulation and attention to be cared for properly and that they can get very possessive, hostel and aggressive towards other pets in the house if they become jealous or feel neglected. I have a dog who is a half husky and huskies are also known as a breed that requires a great deal of engagement and activity so I won’t underestimate the maintenance required of a bird like that...

However I will continue to enjoy the fruits of all the other people who put in the effort of owning Caiques on YouTube’s labor because these little squeaky winged clowns are some of the most entertaining pets I’ve ever seen in my life... I still can’t believe it’s common for them to lie on their backs and allow their bellies to be played with while they kick upward like a cat or a dog; I’m not very familiar with birds but I have to wager that is an extremely rare characteristic for birds and watching them play is so fun

[crystalheart]

Those little whipstitches are so funny.🦜💖

[erik-martin]

Caiques look so fun. I love my conures but definitely want a Caique next time around.

[lottatroublemaker]

You should make them something like a Mini Jungle Gym/Agility Course/Caique Playground… They are such clowns… They’re just sooo cute❣️🤗
