Black-Headed Caique

Black-Headed Caiques are known as the clowns of the bird world for good reason. They are incredibly energetic, playful, and entertaining, with a repertoire of behaviors that includes hopping, surfing along surfaces, lying on their backs, and 'wrestling' with toys and hands. Their distinctive black cap, green wings, orange thighs, and white belly make them strikingly beautiful. Black-Headed Caiques are fearless, curious, and always into something — they have an almost puppy-like enthusiasm for life. They bond closely with their owners and love interactive play. While they are not known for talking, they make a variety of entertaining sounds and whistles. They can be strong-willed, so consistent, positive training is important. Their boundless energy and comical nature make them one of the most entertaining pet parrots available.
