Caique seeking same

[sugarhi247]

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this forum and ended up on it because i am in search for a companion for my 2 year old WB Caique (Pixie). I live in the Orange County area and need to find some one close because she is the one picking a friend so they must meet person! Pixie is my baby, i love her dearly and i want her to have another being in her life that she can connect with aside from me, because mommy's not always home! If any one knows of a caique that needs a new home or of a breeder in the area please let me know!

I also had a question for you fellow caique slaves... Do you know if there is another type of poicephalus that can be housed with a caique? I dont have a problem with aggression, she is the SWEETEST thing to other birds and has never shown a sign of aggression towards one. My main concern is diet, since you cant tell the birds not to share food! I have Pixie on Harrison's Coarse diet, as recommended by my dr. I only ask this because it has proven difficult for me to find any Caiques in the area.

Another type of poicephalus? Other than what? Caique isnt Poi, you know that right?

Too bad we dont live in the same city. I am in the same bind. I feel that my male caique needs more interaction. I would gladly give him to a good home if he got along with the other bird, but like you I would want them in the same city so I could know that things worked out. My other option is to get another caique, like you. I'm not sure that I am ready for the noise level/ increased time/ increased attention required though!

what city are you in? i've been told it takes a LOT of the pressure off when you get another one. Is this wrong??

I just took her to Omars and she met a baby BH that just LOVES her... i'm thinking about it. $1300 omg!

... i know, that's how i found this site, because i've been looking for ads just like hers. but she posted almost a year ago with no update, so i would assume she has found a solution. I was so excited when i found it, and INCREDIBLY bummed when i saw how old it was

I dont know if it takes the pressure off. If it does, than I will get one RIGHT away. I know he would be so happy...at least I would hope so. I know he craves another bird's company. He so badly wants to be friends with my conure, who would rather the caique leave for good. I absolutely HATE leaving my boys when I go on vacation, and if I knew Zeek had a friend to snuggle/play with, than I would feel so much better. It may also take the pressure off of my conure, who I think sometimes gets neglected because Zeek monopolizes me when I am at home.

If your caique gets along with the new one, maybe consider it...but $1300! Yikes that seems expensive for a caique, but maybe prices have gone up?

I am in Phoenix, btw.

Don't know of anyone off the top of my head, but you might try posting at caiqueforum.com as well. Check out birdbreeders, and I know eggsotic aviary in CA breeds caiques, too.
