I'm Jules from Australia and am currently looking after my Mum's cockatiel whilst she is on holidays. It's been hand reared but has a few biting issues that I've been trying to train out of him (or her) using tips I've been finding on youtube. It's been fun! We are making progress.
Our neighbours have two baby Alexandrines that they were looking for someone to hand rear, so I've put my hand up. I'm looking forward to learning about these birds, raising them, and possibly keeping one or selling both of them. I'd love to have a pet bird but my husband is worried about the damage they will do to furniture! I think maybe one day one with a smaller beak would suit us better!?
I don't like the thought of birds constantly being in cages and never let out, so hand rearing them to make them tame is my way of helping them to have better lives.
I'm a newbie but a quick learner and I'm sure I'm going to have heaps of questions!
cheers
