Post #1!

Hello all and welcome! Let me introduce my black cap caique, Tonka. He is just over a year old, and a real twerp, but I love him!



Tonka is not the smartest bird around. Though he is fearless and athletic and outgoing, he has the attention span of a gnat! He also is not very destructive- he prefers dangling by one toe from his toys. Chewing is just so boring! So teaching him to forage has been a step by step process. In my next post, I'll go over some of the baby steps I have had to take with him over the last year, to teach him how to work for his goodies.

I also have four cats, three dogs, and four rabbits, and they will be making appearances from time to time!
