Screech is 2yrs old, his hatch day is July 4th. He is the sweetest Caique, he loves to give kisses and be on your shoulder. He is quite cuddley I believe, hearing about other Caiques. He also LOVES to chew wood, he chews as much as my conures and cockatoo's do. He loves his tummy rubbed and also loves to take bathes. Screech is one of the best fids to live with. If I was forced to reduce my flock, which will never happen, but Screech is one of my favorite parrots I could never part with him and I would definately have another if time and money allowed.:) Lisa
