Black-Headed Caiques

At Karmic Aviaries we keep and breed a range of parrots. But the one group that get the most comments are for the members of the Pionites family in which we have kept one species of Caiques and after only keeping these little gems for only a couple years we could see us specializing Caiques

Black-Headed Caiques & White-Bellied Caiques

 

 

Caiques are still very rare in aviculture in Australia but are now being breed in ever increasing number each year so they will soon be available for all to keep. this may take around ten years or more.

Here the pair can hear each other but have a full screen

Note the firery red eye.

These little gem have a great future in the pet trade in Auatralia

This a two year old bond pair note the bright white chest compared with the young below
