One thought on “Black headed caique for sale

  1. I was looking for a caique and Eli had one left. Living 4 hours away,I had no way to go get him. Pharrell found an airport nearby and kept in constant contact with me until Oakley got here. After Oakley arrived he called and texted to make sure we were doing okay. Oakley is just so sweet and friendly. I highly recommend Pharrell’s Parrots for your next feathered friend. Thank you Pharrell for all you have done to get my baby to me. Above and beyond my expectations!!
