White-Bellied Caique

Direct Parrots | Hand-Reared Caique | White bellied caiques are quite a little bundle of fluff. With those ruffled chest feathers and a variety of vibrant tropical colors, they are without a doubt cute and pretty birds. The head is two-colored, with the upper half light orange and the lower half and the cheeks bright yellow.

Wild white-bellied caiques can be found mainly in the Southern Amazon Basin of Brazil. Here, they inhabit lowland rainforest areas, nesting high up in the trees.

Though the caique is a medium-sized bird, it needs a large environment. This energetic bird will suffer greatly from being confined to a small cage. Think about building a small aviary if you can, or at least provide your caique with the largest housing you can afford.
