Buy White Capped Parrots Online – For Sale

Buy White Capped Parrots are known for their easy-going ways and their relatively quiet nature, which might do them a disservice because potential bird owners might overlook them. A well-socialized white-capped Pionus, however, can be an outgoing and social family pet. Some describe the white cap as the feistiest of the Pionus species, although that is feisty on a Pionus behavioral scale — they are still laid back compared to other parrots, like Amazons, macaws, or cockatoos. It is the smallest of the eight Pionus species.

Care & Feeding

A Pionus housed in too small a cage might become sedentary and overweight. House your Pionus in a spacious cage and set up toys to encourage your Pionus to move about. Pionus are typically good eaters. They should be offered a formulated main diet, such as Lafeber’s Premium Daily Pellets or Nutri-Berries, as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.

Personality & Behavior

Compared to other parrots commonly kept as pets, Pionus parrots are quiet and easy-going and they can be slightly standoffish. As with all parrots, the way a white-capped Pionus is raised by its human guardians makes the difference between a shy bird and a great companion. A Pionus guardian should be ready to spend a great deal of time with their bird. In a home with other louder, more demanding birds, the Pionus might not get the attention it requires.

Pionus parrots, including white-capped Pionus, might make a wheezing sound when frightened or excited, which an owner might mistake for a medical condition. Pionus also gives off a musky or sweet odor that some caretakers find unpleasant, but others enjoy.
