Why Choose a Hand Fed Parrot

When it comes to adding a feathered friend to your family, It is essential to find a well-trained and hand fed baby bird as a hand fed parrot is an excellent choice. These parrots are raised in a nurturing environment (Our Home), where they receive individual attention and socialization from a young age. As a result, they are much more trusting and friendly than parrots that have not been hand fed.

Hand fed parrots are also weaned before they are sold, which means they are already eating on their own and are comfortable with a variety of foods. This makes the transition to their new home much easier and less stressful for both the parrot and its new owner.

Why Adopt A weaned parrot

It allows them to experience the food by breaking it, playing with it until it realizes with encouragement that it is something to be eaten. Syringe feedings are maintained until it is established that the bird is eating the new foods.  Hand feedings are phased out systematically as the bird stops begging for them – when the bird is ready. This produces a happier, more well-adjusted adult.

Don’t fall for the lies about hand-feeding. An experienced hand-feeder can raise a loving, sweet bird who will quickly bond to you and become part of your family flock. You do not need to take on the risky, sometimes extremely difficult task of hand-feeding.

Inexperienced hand-feeders have been known to…

-Burn a baby’s crop, causing a slow and horrible death.
-Accidentally get food in the bird’s lungs (aspiration), causing pneumonia and death.
-Not properly sterilize equipment, leading to bacterial infections and death.
-Underfeed a fussy, difficult baby, thereby causing slow starvation that can cause permanent developmental problems or, more likely, death.
-Force wean a baby due to poor guidance from the breeder, leading to food & behavioral issues for the rest of the bird’s life.
-Feed too cold formula or re-used formula from the fridge causing problems with digestion and illness, food refusals, and worse.
-Not realize the bird wasn’t getting enough food until the keel bone is sharp and protruding, damaging organs through malnutrition because they had no idea how to weigh a bird and monitor its progress, especially during weaning.

Do you want to join the sad club of people who have killed their precious baby birds because they believed they would have a better pet if they hand-fed the bird themselves? Many people who have done this will tell you they feel guilty to this day about it!  How good a pet does a dead bird make?

The Benefits of Adopting a Socialized Parrot.

One of the key advantages of purchasing a hand fed parrot is the socialization they receive. These parrots are handled by us from a very young age, which helps them develop a positive and trusting relationship with people. They are comfortable being touched, held, and interacted with, making them ideal pets for families.

Hand fed parrots are well-adjusted and less prone to behavioral issues. They have been exposed to different environments, noises, and experiences, which helps them adapt more easily to their new homes. Additionally, their socialization ensures that they are comfortable around other pets and family members, making them a great addition to any household.
