Hur man sköter en caique

Caiquen anses vara kloven i fågelfamiljen. De leker alltid och är fulla av energi. De är duktiga på att efterlikna ljud, men har begränsat ordförråd. Caiques älskar att bada och vissa har till och duschat med sin fågel!

Instructions

- 1
  Get a bird cage that is 24 inches by 24 inches by 30 inches. The larger cage you can provide for your bird the better because they will enjoy the extra room to move about.
- 2
  Place three food and water cups in the cage. Fill one with non-chlorinated water, one with fortified seed or pellets and the other with fresh fruits and vegetables.
- 3
  Use a thin layer of corn cob on the bottom of the cage as a substrate to collect waste.
- 4
  Change the substrate and food/water dishes on a daily basis. You should also fully clean and disinfect the cage, perches, toys and bowls once a month.
- 5
  Locate the caiques cage in an area that is not prone to drafts or direct sunlight. Your caique will do fine in normal room temperature.
- 6
  Fill the cage with a variety of toys, play gyms and perches. The caique loves to play and will need plenty to keep it occupied.
- 7
  Provide non-chlorinated lukewarm water in a large dish for bathing. Mist the caique with a spray bottle as an alternative to bathing.
- 8
  Take your caique to the veterinarian annually or any time it displays signs of illness to ensure proper health.
