Wonderful !!! Its been such a wait and I agree its like adopting a child. Its great getting them at this stage . My caique Greta was my first bird . I feel I really lucked out cause their such great birds You are going to love this little guy
I hope so!! I hope he doesn't have crazy mood swings like some caiques I've heard of :P I'm pretty sure I'm just nervous
I am really happy for you Jade. I know how long you have been waiting for this moment. Look forward to seeing lots of pics
Oh how exciting!! You will be a great parront!
I have heard they are very busy & fun birds to have.
It is just like bringing home a new baby! All my feathered kids I have now except my Green Cheek and the budgies were weaned babies. I was a bundle of nerves wondering if they would like me & if I really knew how to take care of something so dependent of my care, every time.

Wonderful news! Can't wait for the pics.
We know how excited you are. Birds of any kind or type are just so special in our lives. Have fun picking a name.
Thanks everyone!!! It's like a countdown now! Hahaha I'm like cleaning my apartment and talking to my other animals, telling them that a new baby is coming home and we have to make sure he's welcomed!! Haha I have been looking at this empty cage full of toys unplayed with for too long! Anyway, I just hope I'm a good fit for a caique. When I did my research and played with a few caiques, they seemed like the perfect bird for my personality!!! We'll see :S
Don't be nervous . I know the more you read and hear [it can talk you right out of things]. Its discouraged me from many birds. Good example- my blue frnt amazon [Is a "hot zon ] hes a rehome . If I had paid attention to what was said about them I would have really missed out.Let me tell you about my caiques . When I first brought them home . I would put a blanket on the back of the couch with toys [and let them come and be curious about me] I built a nice relationship that way. I still do that if people come over and want to see them . Their louder with their calls when their babys. Watch what you have out [that they cant have ] like a pencil . Their bears about giving things back [they wont HA HA ] Their foodies so don't limit them to things [best eaters of my bunch]. as for being beaky ,don't let them sit there and continually do that [maybe put them on a stand ] That's what they always say about caiques and my conures were worse. I attach toys on the outside of Gretas cage too [top and sides] she really keeps herself entertained playing with them . If your guys having a moody day [take him out later] . A set schedule [with out times ] keeps them from turning into monsters. Mine put themselves to bed at night and don't want to be messed with.
Thanks Pinky!! I do read things sometimes and think maybe I don't want this, but then I see videos about them being all cute and crazy and I get right back into it!! I'll try to raise him to not be a monster :P Thanks for the advice
