    Oh one of the big issues I see with people who hand feed, mostly breeders, is when they feed them from inside of their tub/cage and don’t handle them during or after. Hand feeding is a bonding moment, and if you bring them out, cuddle and feed while they’re in your lap, it makes a HUGE difference

      Yeah..I gave treats to my hens and would stick my hand under their chests and rub when they first started laying in the boxes, none of them has ever even considered trying to peck me (well, for any reason) when I check under them for eggs..I could almost swear they seem relieved of their “egg responsibilities” when I take eggs, they just look underneath themselves (wish my neck worked like that) and practically shrug their shoulders and exit the box..

      I have had babies, and I don't even hand-feed them, I let the parents do their job. I just make sure to handle the chicks as much as reasonably possible.
      ... they are FAR more sociable than any actually hand-raised bird I've seen
      I wish more breeders would do co-parenting. but it takes time, and thus eats into their profits...
      PS: I'm not "technically" a breeder, but keeping paired lovebirds from breeding is nearly impossible (and besides, it's what their bodies are designed to do -- even if you don't want the babies and just sterilize the eggs -- in fact I've done that too, it keeps them busy incubating them for about a month that they're not thinking of the next clutch... ), so I do everything in my hands to make sure they're safe. they're on a good diet, they have a calcium block, and if something bad were to happen, I will rush to the vet. I also try my best to not let them do more than one, max two clutches a year, since by themselves they will lay one after another until they have no more eggs in them (usually in less than five years, at that! while healthy birds that lay once or twice a year will lay for their entire lives!) -- or worse (egg-binding is a serious thing, that happens most often due to calcium depletion!)

    Weaning was so different for our two baby birds. Our male caique didn't have any problem, but our female had major problems with weaning! In the end we managed to gently wean both of them and they are very good veggie eaters!
    I think my best tip would be, don't try to rush things with baby birds. They need their time, some more and some less.

      Sadly, he has since passed away. But he was believed to be 16 when we worked with him so he was a bit on the older side (I think they range between 20-30) and we didn't know all of his past. He was flying around though which was a pretty huge accomplishment!

      Same. It would be amazing to have a lifelong companion, but I love them enough to know that they're not for me. Dogs are easier, hardier, they won't outlive me leaving them with an uncertain future, and they're MEANT to be companions to humans. They're fully domestic to the point that their natural habitat IS a human home. Your care and companionship is all they want. Parrots and other large birds are awesome but they're not domestic and don't really belong in captivity.

    I have hand raised 3 birds, two of the same species, Quakers, and 1 Timneh African Grey. All are very different when it comes to weaning. It's definitely a bird-by-bird case. My Quakers, unfortunately, came clipped and so never truly fledged. My Timneh was able to fledge, and at first, it was definitely a hot mess, but she is now a skilled flyer. Starting early on weaning and periodically continuing a feeding has helped when giving medications. I have also learned to often adjust and change their cages to prevent them from becoming territorial and hormonal. I change their cages and perches entirely, including toys, every month. I might even take them from being in a single cage with a divider to separate cages and then put them back after a few months. I learned quickly that you have to condition and train them that you can enter and change anything in the cage without fear of retaliation (this is more for the Quakers). We were smart and watched the baby bird course prior to purchasing any of our feather babies. But now, they are all over a year living their best bird lives. There have been mistakes, but with not speaking in absolutes and humanizing your emotions truly helps to step back and look at the situation and circumstances differently. Definitely have to use your ABCs with birds.

    Hello,
    I have my baby African Grey , her name is Alfie and she is 15 weeks old. She is miracle and i love our connection with her, me and my husband we learn and enjoy the process.
    1-she is learning about going outside and its happened 3-4 times now, she is still scared of outside environment especially if its road. We went last time by car in carrier to the beach side …it was better rather than directly from house by walk with her , this time on the beach i wear harness inside of car and we came to see beach,however, Alfie tried to show that she wants to remove the harness and to go back,which we did. 2- Bath, she fly away if i mist a a water and now she knows bottles. Shower too. 3- Weaning, its feels slow but I think that is exactly how nature goes and today i made a chop for the first time (she already ate veggies but not chop) when i gave her she liked to eat it but little than after 30 min asked formula feeding . I have your courses.Thank you and hope to discover and to achieve more.

    I got my first bird as a handfeeding baby. Even though I thought I'd done enough research (and this was over 20 years ago) I was effectively ignorant and I NEVER should have taken on handfeeding and weaning. Handfeeding is dangerous unless you REALLY know what you're doing, and the weaning process was TERRIFYING. You have this beautiful fat baby that is too big to learn to fly because they're too fat, and they don't want to be hand fed anymore. They act like they're dying of starvation, but they won't handfeed. They struggle to eat soft food and moist pellets, and all of a suddent you see them shrinking before your eyes, and you're convinced they're going to fly, and one day they start flying and figure out how to eat. In the meantime, you're about to have a heart attack because you are sure this beautiful baby bird is NOT going to ever eat again. It is CRAZY! Don't do it, and DON'T clip baby birds.
