Caique Favorites

You would be hard pressed to find a parrot who is more active than the rough and tumble caique. Known for their hilarious antics, caiques can easily get into trouble so always pay attention to bird toy safety. Caiques love to dismantle toys so you will want to provide a large variety of toy options which feature materials to shred. Things such as thin pine chippers, balsa, palm leaf, birdie bagels and mahogany pods are lots of fun. Toys that feature paper and cardboard will also satisfy a caique's natural desire to remodel things with their sharp pointy beaks. Additionally, sturdy plastics and charms are also adored by caiques because it gives them something to move and interact with.

Hanging and swinging are activities that no true caique would pass up so anything that moves, swings or sways is a must have. Dangling plastic chains, swinging baskets or even several toys hung near one another will keep a caique interested. Remember they have one beak and two feet and will be most amused if they have a toy in each. It's not uncommon for my caiques to he hanging upside down with both feet on different toys and batting around a third bird toy with his beak.
