has anyone got kakarikis?

Answers:
Wow

you are so lucky I've always wanted a kakarikis

they are rarely phased by change, friendly tward strangers and are easily tamed even if parent raised or wild caught.

so far the diet you are feeding is great

Kakarikis will try new food almost instantaniously because of their active and curious nature.

great foods are: RK= raw or cooked

apples (all kinds)
bananas
papaya
all kinds of melon
pairs
prickly pairs
carrots RK
broccoli especially is good for them RK
zuccini aka green squash RK
pumpkin RK
spinach RK
peppers RK
grapes all kinds
romane lettuce RK
mustard and collared greens RK
corn RK
green beans RK
cellery RK
Anise RK

scrambled eggs with the shell mashed in
hard boiled eggs diced with the shell mashed in
cooked burger or steak
cooked chicken
pasta with or without sauce
mashed potatoes
mashed sweet potatoes
baked sweet potatoes

all these foods are great and are loaded with vitatmins and minerals that your bird needs

Broccoli and sweet potatoes are the best foods to offer because they are high in vitaminbs A, E, K, and calcium.

the best fruit is papaya because it has more nutrients in it than most fruit does.

as far as pet quality they are devoted and affectionate, this isnt the kind of bird that sits on your shoulder they want to play constantly.

dont scratch their neck too much as their feathers tair easily and are easily damaged. stick to playing and petting.

always watch him when he is out of the cage as they are active and may acciently chew electrical chords dont rust them to stay on top of their cage or playstand, they will come down to play and looke for humand companionship.

these are wonderful intelligent birds the sad thing is their short lifespan

most only live to be 20 years old some a little more or less.

USED TO HAVE IT BUT THE DOCTOR GAVE ME SOME PILLS ,SERIOUSLY NEVER HEARD OF THEM WHAT ARE THEY
yes hun we used to have 2. they are beautiful parrakeets. like cockatiels but fatter and way more colourful. and hun you are feeding them the right diet which sounds like it (altho i do suggest a few more nuts and sunflower seeds and millet as all birds love them and ours definatly did!)
You can get a good pair of incontinence pants for about 拢20
My neighbour, and yes they are adorable
Your feed is just about right( so my neighbour says) also they like a little taste of cheese too
no no no you mustnt feed it, itll get worse and spread, and cover you in a terrible rash. who told you too use bird food anyway? and yes ive got it.
i had red-fronts many years ago. i can't believe how much they are these days. very comical, active, charming little parrots!! congratulations on owning a kak!
Oh bless.I hadn't heard of the name before but just had a look on Google. They are lovely.

i used to have two but had to give one away as the vet said we would need a licance to breed them and the only way to sex them properley was dna at 拢200 each!
I kept two pairs of them for the last year for a friend of mine. I had to ask my friend to come get them because they were to wasteful and messy. I couldn't justify paying for food that they would throw out of the dish when I am feeding cockatiels, love birds, scarlett chested parakeets and finches who will all eat the food that I give them. It was a difficult decision to make because they were very beautiful and fun to watch.
