: : I have a baby male Caique too, he just turned 6 months old today. I was just wondering if you have lots of toys for him to play with. They are so full of energy that sometimes they don't know what to do with it all. Caiques can be pretty territorial with toys and especially with their food. Kobe was biting me alot too for awhile and instead of putting a bowl of food in his cage I held the bowl and let him come to me. I made him oatmeal but used half water half apple juice and let him eat it while I held the bowl and just talked to him very quietly. Just remember to wear old clothes because you will be wearing as much oatmeal as he eats. I did this for 2 mornings in a row and he no longer bites when I put his bowl in his cage. When I have him out playing and he gets aggressive I offer a toy. His favorite is a stuffed gray bird that he tackles and bites. Hang in there with Ziggy he doesn't hate you, only trying to be the boss before you know it he will be a sweetheart.
: : : My baby male Caiques (Ziggy) hates me! Bits big time, blood and just me! He will play with anyone that comes to our house but wont let me hold him or come near him. My heart is broken cause I really love the little guy. He wont even let me clean or put food in his cage with out a fight. Please, can anybody tell what I can do to make him like me. We have had him now for 2 months and when we first got him he seemed to like me then. Then about 2 weeks ago I opened his cage to play with him, as I had been every day and jump at me and bite my finger and drew blood, weaved back and forth, fuzzed up, wings out and his eyes went big and little. I never did a thing to him to make him hate me. Just one morning he decided he hate me. He has now drawn blood from me 6 times. I don't have very many fingers left and now afraid to get him.

: Oh thank you! I do hope he will like me again. Yes he does have lost of toys to play with and lots of things to hang from in his cage. One thing I took note of with him is, he doesn't like me doing anything inside his cage like cleaning it or taking out toys to be washed so I have to remove Ziggy to get the job done. He will come out of his cage to play with pepole he never saw befor and not bite them but let me put a hand down and he goes for me, fluffed up, head down, beak open so I know not to touch him. He even got me through gloves so I don't put them on anymore. I have been hand feeding him again and this is the only time he will let me touch him but I have to hurry and put him back in his cage before he comes around. Oh well, time will tell. Thank you for your help.
