your quite welcome...i completely understand wanting to "hear from" those who have older caiques. i too am always interested to know what it's like living with a caique over 3 years old as most owners that i do know have caiques around that age. i think they (caiques) are relatively newer to the companionship world, however, author, sally blanchard has an older caique named spike who appears has had a wonderful life with. i also, through other forums have met those with "older caiques" over 5 years old and all are very happy parronts to these guys. and i completlely understand your "researchiness"..lol...i've been married to someone like that for the last 30 years...
