I read that some birds are a bit more tame and calm if they're hand raised by humans. But I could use a few tips from someone who has done this before, just for future usage.

No jokes of wisecracks please. Only answer if you've hand raised birds or if you know of someone who has done it.

Thanks!

I tamed a peached face love bird, now there bite can chew to the bone.When he was born my friend held him everyday, let him fly around inside and a month later was given to me, still cranky and wanting to be a bird, months of persistent handling and loving turned my bird into pretty much a wannabe human! He would sleep in the bed, with the blankets, eat off my plate, shower with me and i could walk him up to the shops sitting on my shoulder. The more you handle them at a young age, the better they will be. Good luck it is hard work, but the rewards are beyond recognition. I have a Friend that bought a parrot a few years back and they bought it from someone that hand raised it and it was for the same reason so it would be more friendly, so yes it can be done , I would see about more information at your local pet shop I have a friend that hand raises all her birds. She teaches and tames them and they are fantastic. She is a seller. Yes it is better. You take the birds from the parents and feed them baby bird formula from a syringe. You have to feed the young babies every two hours around the clock for about a week or until they are a bit bigger. Big committment! It really does make a difference in how the birds react to humans.
