The smallest cage for a single caique should be 24 x 24 x 24 inches (60 x 60 x 60 cm). A caique in this size cage will need extra time outside of the cage each day. A cage-size of 36 x 24 x 48 (91 x 60 x 121 cm), or larger, is ideal. Consider both height and width. Caique parrots like flying side-to-side, swinging, and playing Tarzan. Caique parrots aren’t the strongest flyers, but they are very strong climbers, and like to walk, hop, and jump. A larger cage will let them climb and hop around comfortably.
Before you buy a cage, touch and pull on the wires to ensure that they’re sturdy and won’t break.
This helps to better socialize your parrot.

Some parrot owners like to have two separate food bowls: one for pellets/bird seed, and one for fruits/veggies. Caique parrots like to bathe in water. It can be nice to provide a large water dish for bathing and a small one for drinking.
Some ink pigments can be toxic to birds. Try to have 6-7 layers of paper to effectively catch all debris.
Liners needs to be changed daily. Food and water dishes need to be washed daily. The area around the cage should be swept/vacuumed a few times per week. Perches should be cleaned a few times a week. The entire cage should be sanitized monthly.
