      In response to your question I will share a little story. I have shared it before, but this seems a perfect opportunity to share again.
      While shopping one day several years ago .. I overheard the cashier at the deli counter say to the customer "Have a Good Day" .. I only heard the response as I was not actually looking in that direction .. The answer came back in a small weathered voice .. " Every day is a good day" ... I looked up to see a very old, fragile looking man who had made the response .. In that moment I was touched, moved and perspective changed.. And I have not forgotten it over all the years that have passed since. I think of it often in fact. It has been at least 30 years ago ... I will leave you with one final thought "if you think you have nothing to be grateful for ... check your pulse .." To everyone who reads this "Have a GOOD DAY" !

    Caiques are absolutely amazing little parrots. Far as I'm concerned, top tier. Very affectionate, intelligent, playful, with the big plus of being able to entertain themselves if they have toys available. Some other birds are very needy, like Cockatoos, and if they don't get the attention they need can start plucking, etc.
    Not very noisy either, whereas in contrast a Conure (great birds mind you) are very loud, frequently.
    My Mom had a Caique like this one for many years, and was her best friend and companion.

    Seriously, though your advice about rescuing them is awesome. People don't realize that having a parrot is like having a perpetual toddler. When people don't want to invest time in them, they abandon them or shut them in their cage. It breaks my heart.

I have a Senegal Parrot now and a Black Capped Conure. I've been in the avian field now for the better part of 30yrs working "hands on" with everything from Budgies to Macaws and Warblers to Birds of Prey. Plus, i've owned my fair share of "fids" or birdie lingo for feathered kids/parrots. Caique's are great birds and they LOVE water...!!! They often like to roll around on there bellies a lot.

    I also have a rescued bird. I got him when he was only 6 months from a lady who rehabs birds. My bird is a pied cockatiel, and he is going on 25 yrs. old. This is the longest time I have owned an animal and he has been with me through thick and thin (My parent's deaths 18 and 19 yrs. ago and my illness') I don't think that I could have gotten through these years without my "Baby" (that is his name). My bird is smart, but he can no longer fly, and he had a tumor in his left eye. But he still eats and is still as spunky as ever. I also have two parakeets too.
