Thanks Judy! We decided on a white belly caique instead of the black headed Caique. I may as well pay the xtra and get what I really want and personally I think the white bellys are more attractive. He is a DNA'd male and coming from SHADY PINES. Gloria has been raising Caiques for 30yrs and she came highly recommended. I will post the webcam as soon as Gloria gets it up and running on my clutch.<br><br>Post edited by: Cagal08, at: 2009/05/05 13:16

I finally broke down and put a deposit down on a bird I been wanting for quite a while. The baby won't be ready and weaned until around July 16th but that gives me time to buy the proper cage and supplies. My new baby is a Black Headed Caique

And here is one that I had the breeder send me with her hand next to her to show her size.

And another of miss sasafrass Sushi

Well the new baby is home and I didn't come home with the original one I was going to because this little 4 mo old 18 ounce little girl totally captured my heart. She is the best puppy, no whinning at night, she sleeps so good in her playpen and got a clean bill of health today at the vets and ofcourse everyone was so inlove with her. my vet asked me could I have found one any smaller LOL! Seriously it is hard to find lil doggie shirts that will fit her. She can litterally stand up in the palm of my hand. I am already spoiling her lil bootie and hubby is also so smitten with her but I think he is still in shock with how teeney she is Here is some pictures I took of her with her PJs on LOL! <br><br>Post edited by: Cagal08, at: 2008/12/22 23:09

Yes I use them all the time and they are completely safe around birds.

Are you now introducing any other type of soft foods and if so what and are you seeing him actually comsume any foods on his own? Do not over feed him his formula until he regurgitates some up because he could asperate on it very easily. 10 weeks old I still keep them on 3 feedings a day until they are 11 weeks then I cut back to 2 feedings a day depending on if the bird is indeed eating something on his own or this can help them eat more on their own but usually they will let you know when they no longer want feedings and when this happens do not force them to eat formula just let him be and he will not starve but will probably try picking more at pellets or veggies. When Roscoe reached 11 weeks old everyday I introduced him to fresh mixed veggies but he always picked out the peas and corn. I also soaked him weaning pellets and birdie biscuits which helped alot with the weaning process. By the way Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new baby <br><br>Post edited by: Cagal08, at: 2008/11/30 17:22

Awwwe Thanks so much. I just cannot wait for the day she comes home...wow I am so inlove already :kiss:

Nope they know exactly what to do with a Pomegranate and most birds love them but beware they are super messy LOL!

Roscoe is a DNA male Cag and I finished handfeeding him and as of right now at 5.5 mos old he loves me and puffs up at my husband or anyone else but ofcourse I know this can change with time as greys can and do change who they tollerate at any given time but he is a hoot right now mimicking my laugh and says step up and you want to go outside...talking to the dogs LOL! And his favorite is screaming at his toys or me "rolls eyes"
