Zusammenfassung (https://web.archive.org/web/20240424170325/https://psittaculturedotorg.w...)
Caiques accept an extremely broad diversity of foods... They seem to use soft, rather mushy fruits mainly for the juices, which they extract; they fling the chewed pulp and skin in every direction. ... They will also readily eat lizards, insects and small birds. I have seen a pair of White-bellied Caiques Pionites leucogaster fight over a small lizard, which one had caught. The birds ended up chasing each other from tree to tree and then out of sight into the forest. My own birds have eaten snails, which are common in Florida, and once when a group was kept in a large flight, they hunted down a sparrow that had somehow managed to get through the feed hatch. It had been killed and partly eaten before I could get it out of the cage.
