Native Region/Natural Habitat
White Bellied Caïque Parrot
The natural home of these parrots is found in South America. It is mainly centered around the upper part of the Amazon river, in Brazil. In these humid, tropical forests they prefer to nest high in the canopies or in the holes in the trees. Even though it is common in captivity, it is still proclaimed as an endangered species in the wild. The leading cause of this is the destruction of habitat, poaching, and illegal smuggling.White Bellied Caïque Parrot
Overall Description
These parrots are considered small, with an average size reaching up to 9 inches (23 centimeters) in length. With a short little tail and a robust, chubby body, they definitely have that goofy, cute look. They share a lot of details with the other, closely related caique breeds, and one of these are the distinct “ruffled” feathers on the breast, giving them their name.White Bellied Caïque Parrot
Speech and Sounds
Just like most other caiques, these birds are not the best talkers. Most of the time they rely on their natural calls to express themselves. Whether happy, frightened or merely looking for attention, these little parrots will give out their shrill, high pitched tweets and whistles. So to avoid those higher levels of noise, make sure your pet is getting enough of attention and free space, and that it’s in general – a happy parrot.White Bellied Caïque Parrot
Colors
White bellied caiques are quite a little bundle of fluff. With those ruffled chest feathers and a variety of vibrant tropical colors, they are without a doubt cute and pretty birds. The head is two-colored, with the upper half light orange and the lower half and the cheeks bright yellow. The wings, thighs, and back are bright, vibrant green while the chest and belly are white – as the name suggests. The younger birds often show some darker details, until the bright colors come about with age. The unique mix of these striking colors is definitely an incredible sight.White Bellied Caïque Parrot
