Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

Bursting with color and energy, the black-headed caique is a pocket-sized bundle of mischief. With a black cap, orange cheeks, a white belly and green wings, it looks like it was assembled from a paintbox — and it acts like the class clown, hopping, tumbling and play-wrestling all day.

A Living Paintbox

Black crown, orange-and-yellow face and thighs, a snow-white belly and green wings — the caique packs an astonishing number of bold colors onto one small body.

The Clown of Parrots

Famous for their playful, comical antics, caiques hop rather than walk, wrestle with toys and flip upside down — earning them a reputation as the jesters of the parrot world.

Small but Fearless

What the caique lacks in size it makes up for in confidence, bouncing fearlessly around the canopy and its home with boundless energy.

Surface Bather

Caiques love to ‘surface bathe,’ rubbing themselves through wet leaves in a joyful frenzy — one more quirk of a truly characterful little parrot.

“A paintbox with wings and the personality of a class clown.”
