The Truth About Puffman Caique 

Thank you...I have a black-headed caique, Bertie, who I adore. He us cuddly, affectionate but very short-tempered - he has a huge personality but he also has a very short fuse. He was being rehomed and my partner fell in love with him. Knowing I had wanted a parrot for a long time and knowing he did not have long to live he bought Bertie home for me. Bertie bonded with my partner instantly but I think it took him a while to forgive me after my partner died - I cried myself to sleep many times because I felt I couldn't give him what he needed. He will be 7 years old in July - he's lived here since he was 2 and a bit. I know he is happy now, and it is all down to communication and understanding body language - it took me a while, but we are best friends. He is my life - if he wasn't here I don't think I would be. I'm glad you present caiques as they are - they are not easy. I feel vindicated somehow, seeing this - it is SO rewarding to bond with them and I love Bertie to bits but please understand they need a lot of attention! Xx

YES YES YES, you are helping birds everywhere; and then the people who are misinformed

Caique’s are a handful! They are very high energy and demand lots of understanding and patience!! 🧡💚💛

Thank you for that info! Not thinking of getting one but great info! And by the way, all hail the queen! Good morning Victoria!

Thank you Mama April!🫶🏻🦜🫶🏻

Puffy needs love too! 😂

All birds have a good side and bad side, I have a ringneck that is very territorial.

Of course Puffman is a good bird. All birds can be naughty occasionally. Nothing wrong with telling people caiques aren't for everyone. Birds are a lot of responsibility. Little or big. #flockpower 💚

Like my black caped conure. A high maintenance unpredictable brat. Savvy, clever, willful and determined to get her way. But God I love that bird!

I love my bipolar chicken! I've definitely seen both sides caiques.

Aww :3 So cute! Jessie too!

I know you love all your birds April it's quite obvious. I love all birds also. When I see him attacking it makes me laugh and I know why he's doing it so he's a cutie he's just very jealous. But a mother doesn't love one kid more than she does the other right😊

I love that you shared Puffy like this. They are not easy birds for sure.

The good, the bad, and the ugly. All birds are going to have a bad day just like people so you learn the signs and work around it. Don't mess with them when they're pissy, and don't put them in situations where they can get hurt or hurt another critter. With time you work out a understanding and trust with each other and the special games and things only for the two of you happen.

He just can’t control his toe fettish!😮

Hes a happy little soul with a great at bird mum. Makes sense to show people the videos of Puffmans naughty behaviour so then there srnt anymore unfortunate birds needed to be rehomed because the person didn't realise the work needed to properly care for any animal tgey may give a home to. Good on you April. Take care💚

His t shirt is white today 😂

April WE LO💜E you! & your beautiful FLOCK 🩵💜🤍💙🩷♥️🩵🩶💛🤎

Ha ha ha, April, if you tell Puffman that you love him, then I can say for sure that this is absolutely mutual. ❤😊 I can see it in his eyes.

Donald 🦆 lol

We’ve had a beautiful caique for the past 20 years. She loves us but we absolutely cannot let her out around strangers lol

For 5-6 months it is hormones. For the rest it is often a certain routine that makes them go in attack mode. Try chainging it works. It confuses them 😆. They can also be soooo sweet and have relax time. Live Caiques❤❤❤

I have a white bellied caique named Niko. He can be pretty nippy, energetic, and loud like most caiques, but he’s also pretty sweet and loves spending time with people, whether they play with him, talk to him, or just hold him

Jeese's malfunctioning lol

Soo sweet that tweetybird .

We all know you love the puffman!!❤

April... from what I seen in videos of puffy. He is jealous. And wants alot of attention to. We love you Puff Man. ❤

Is he in attack mode when he’s mostly jealous ?

Question!!! I am watching my aunt's quaker parrot while Zhe recovers from a major surgery. I've noticed he is covered, like big time, in pin feathers at base of tail, neck, everywhere. His feathers have good color, but they appear almost kind of oily and a bit disheveled. Otherwise, he seems ok, but I know they can hide symptoms. I'm not sure if this is a concern, and if it is, how to approach this without offending my aunt. She has had a lot going on recently. Please help!!! ❤
