Talk:Caique

message: I'd love to get a caique someday.  Very funny little birds.  Every time I see them, it seems like they are on their backs, even sometimes in pictures.  I once even saw a caique in a pet store hop off the cahsier's shoulder, quickly turn itself onto its back, and manage to use the momentum to go flying across the slippery counter right into the wastebasket (which was fortunately empty at the time).

replies: text: Yep, this article is in a pretty poor state at present - probably because no-one with the required specialist knowledge (and books) has gotten around to working on it. If you do - and can improve it, go right ahead and do so! Please! (i.e. WP:SOFIXIT)... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 01:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

text: I love these birds. They seem so feisty and charismatic. They also have some (what appear to be) unique behaviors that seem to be innate to the species - surfing, wrestling with each other, all that hopping up and down/bouncing like a wind-up toy. I'd actually like to add some stuff to this article about what wild behavior is being expressed in these pet birds here, but it seems that outside of captivity, the caiques are very poorly studied. It's a shame. Iloveparrots (talk) 12:05, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

message: "Caiques are also occasionally known as the "seven-color Parrot" because each caique's plumage includes black, green, yellow, orange, white and blue feathers." I'll bite--what's the seventh color? MylesCallum (talk) 23:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The article contains the statement
:Macaws are also known to form ad-hoc defensive committees in response to predators.
I don't know if it's cited, since the following sentence is cited and I don't know if the citation covers that. But... macaws? I thought this article was about caiques, and if there's a connection, it is explained nowhere in the article. I will remove this sentence later if I remember and nobody else provides an explanation.
