Care sheet — Caique Parrots

Caiques are energetic, inquisitive parrots that need a spacious enclosure, daily supervised exercise and a varied supply of safe chewing, foraging and foot toys. Provide sturdy perches of different suitable diameters and inspect toys for loose parts, damaged cords and trapping hazards.

Keep play sessions gentle and watch for signs of over-excitement. Encourage voluntary contact and allow the bird to step away. Do not leave a caique unsupervised with other birds or pets, even if it appears friendly. A bird described as tame can behave differently while settling into a new home.

Settling in safely

Prepare the enclosure before delivery. Give your bird a calm settling-in period, a predictable routine and gentle, positive interactions. Tame does not mean that a bird will immediately accept handling from everyone. Let it approach at its own pace; never chase, punish or force contact.

Keep a new bird separate from resident birds, ideally in another room, and arrange an avian veterinary check. Follow your vet’s quarantine advice before gradual, supervised introductions. Keep hands, bowls and equipment clean.

Food, enrichment & everyday safety

Ask us what the bird currently eats and change diets gradually. Provide fresh drinking water, a suitable balanced diet and appropriate fresh vegetables. Avoid an all-seed diet. Offer safe chewing and foraging activities, varied perches and supervised exercise in a secure room. Protect birds from smoke, aerosols, overheated non-stick cookware, open windows, fans and other pets. Allow a quiet, regular night’s rest.

Monitor appetite, droppings, activity and body weight. Persistent fluffed posture, unusual quietness, breathing difficulty or reduced eating need prompt avian veterinary attention; birds can hide illness.

Prepare your setup with BirdsMalta

Explore bird and parrot cages, including the Calla cage and Parrot House play-top cage. Compare the usable enclosure dimensions, bar spacing and tail clearance for your species; a tall stand is not extra living space. Larger parakeets need generous flight space and may require a larger enclosure or aviary. Ask us for help selecting a suitable setup.

Browse ZuPreem Medium and ZuPreem Medium/Large diets, selecting a pellet size appropriate for the individual, together with foraging and chewing toys. Introduce any new food gradually and confirm suitability with us or your avian vet.

Live birds: handover, care and returns

We do not offer discretionary change-of-mind returns, exchanges or refunds on live birds. Any mandatory right of withdrawal, refund or other statutory remedy remains unaffected.

We record videos of the birds before dispatch to document their appearance and behaviour at that time. Delivery is arranged within 24 hours, and we contact you before travelling. The journey is normally around 20–30 minutes where distance and traffic allow; the actual journey time may vary.

Once the bird has been delivered and handed over, you are responsible for its suitable housing, feeding, handling, hygiene and veterinary care. We do not accept responsibility for harm caused by inappropriate care or mishandling after handover, to the extent permitted by law.

Unless expressly specified in the listing or confirmed in writing, we do not guarantee a particular temperament, behaviour, sex or lifespan. “Tame” describes current handling experience and does not promise future behaviour. This individual is listed as DNA-sexed male; ask us about its DNA documentation.

If you have any concern, contact sales@birdsmalta.com or WhatsApp +356 7711 5222. We can share available pre-delivery videos and photographs to help review the concern. If the bird may be unwell, seek prompt advice from an avian vet.

Photo information: Colours may vary slightly with lighting and your screen’s brightness, resolution and display settings. Photographs show the actual birds. Colour descriptions are visual descriptions, not a guarantee of a particular genetic mutation.
