The Clown of the Parrot World
White-Bellied Caiques for Sale in Florida
Caiques are the most entertainingly ridiculous birds in aviculture. Our White-Bellied Caiques, Pionites leucogaster, are about 9 inches (23 cm) long, with a white belly, bright green wings and back, and an orange-to-apricot crown. They are playful, energetic, acrobatic, intelligent, curious, and absolutely convinced they should supervise everything. They form strong bonds and often seek out cuddles and head scratches. Hand-raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, they are impossible to ignore. They can live 30+ years, so bringing one home is not a passing adventure. It is a genuine long-term commitment.
“Part parrot, part puppy, entirely too much fun.”

The Philosophy of the Sanctuary
Caiques are high-energy, high-intelligence birds that need stimulation, handling, and a family that can keep up with them. We raise ours to be social, confident, and properly channeled — so their antics are delightful, not destructive. Our birds are seen at Rainforest Clinic for Birds & Exotics in Loxahatchee, Florida, by Dr. Susan Clubb — a board-certified avian specialist and past President of the Association of Avian Veterinarians.

/
Energy-Matched Care: We build our Caiques' nursery environment around play, enrichment, and supervised interaction from the earliest age.
-
/
Hand-Fed and Hand-Held: Every baby is hand-fed daily by Kalyn, building the human trust that turns a wild Caique personality into a bonded companion.
-
/
Honest Placement: Caiques are not low-maintenance birds. We place them only with people who understand what they are getting into — and are excited about it.
-
/
Lifetime Support: We are available to every Caique buyer for guidance long after pickup. These birds are spirited — backup is sometimes useful.
-
/
DNA Sexing: DNA sexing is available on request for $30 per bird. If you want to know your Caique's sex before the bird comes home, we can arrange it without turning a simple option into a mystery.
“A well-raised Caique is the most joy-per-square-inch of any parrot we know.”
The Hand-Fed Bond
Caiques bond fiercely. They play hard, snuggle hard, and make sure you never forget they exist. Hand-raising from hatch is what channels that intensity into a bird that is a joy rather than a handful.
Socialization
Our babies are handled by multiple people every day — producing birds that are comfortable with the whole family and quick to adjust to new environments.
Patient Weaning
We never rush weaning. Our Caiques wean between 12 and 16 weeks, and only fully weaned, independent birds leave our nursery.
Health Guarantee
Our health guarantee runs 3 to 5 days from pickup or delivery, with 5 days on weekends. It covers undisclosed pre-existing conditions diagnosed within that window by an avian-certified veterinarian, not a general-practice vet. Depending on the situation, the remedy is replacement or refund. It does not cover injuries after pickup or illness caused by exposure to other birds.
Are Caiques Nice Birds?
“I recently received two White Bellied Caiques from Kalyn and can't say enough how happy I am with these two, Kona and KiKi. After the initial text and phone call the babies were secured. We would text each other and photos were sent showing the progress of the babies. Kalyn and her daughter simply very much love their parrots — it's a true flock / family — and it shows when you are obtaining a parrot. Kalyn is a wealth of knowledge and understands parrots and their needs. Highly recommend.”
Location & Shipping
We are located in West Palm Beach, Florida — in Palm Beach County. South Florida buyers are welcome to visit; we ship Caiques nationwide via Delta Cargo. New to the species? Read our complete Caique guide. A bird is reserved only when we have both a signed contract and the $500 Caique deposit. The deposit is paid by Zelle, and nothing is held without the contract and deposit together. Deposits are non-refundable unless Parrot Bliss is unable to provide the bird you reserved. The remaining balance is due at pickup, or before shipping is scheduled. We do not make exceptions to the two-part reservation requirement. This keeps expectations clear for everyone from the beginning.
Local Pickup
Scheduled visits to our West Palm Beach location are welcome for confirmed adopters. Meeting your Caique before final pickup is useful; these birds tend to make their personalities known rather quickly. For an in-person pickup, the remaining balance is due when you pick up your bird. We keep that part simple and clear.
Safe Air Shipping
We ship through Delta Cargo's live animal pet transport program to major airports served by Delta Cargo. Your Caique travels in a temperature-controlled cargo hold, not the passenger cabin, which provides a more stable environment for the bird. It may sound less familiar than cabin travel, but the bird's comfort and stability are the point. Shipping for Caiques is $250, the larger-parrot rate.
