So the breeder that I would go to for a potential Conure hand rears his birds. I've never dealt with a hand-reared bird beforeso don't know what they are like.
In short I'm wondering what you guys would feel makes a happier/more well rounded and less bitey bird? I've been reading from people that hand reared birds over all whilst more playful and comfortable round humans they also bite and act up a lot more. But maybe I'm just reading the worst of them. I know they can be more likely to try getting frisky with humans when puberty hits but parent reared birds seem to do the same too, or with a nearby toy. I'm just wondering if it's worthwhile asking if I do go for one of these conures if it's worth asking the breeder to let the parents raise my chick? I also don't know if the removal of the eggs will cause the parents to hurt the baby. Could just do with some advice
