Thot this was interesting in relation to what caiques eat in the wild:
Natural diet: fruits, berries and seeds.
Went further to give a list:
Diet: variety of fruit and vegetables (apple, rose-hip, orange, grape, zucchini or courgette, cucumber etc.); seed mix of safflower, buckwheat, linseed, oats, groats, canary grass seed, various millets, some sunflower and hemp; sprouted seed in spring and summer; plenty of greenfood (chickweed, spinach, dandelion etc.); fresh branches with buds when available; mineral supplements; rearing food or dog chow just before and during breeding period.
