i'm so sorry you're having such a hard time with zeek. he is a beautiful caique. it must be breaking your heart. i've only had my caique for 2 mos. he's 6 mos. old. i don't let him out of his cage very much as i work all day and when i'm home i take turns taking him out with my lovebird. but when i do take him out it's only at 15 mins. intervals. that's one of the things i'm concerned about, that he gets "too" used to being with me all the time. there is a book called "the beak book" by sally blanchard that deals exclusively with biting. maybe you should read it before giving zeek away. i'm sure something can be worked out. i wish you the best.
