I’ve heard a lot about hand-raised parrots being more social and easier to train. I’ve never had a parrot before, but I’m considering getting one for my family. I’d definitely want a bird that’s friendly and enjoys being around people. Is hand-raising really that important for this? How much difference does it make compared to parrots raised in aviaries?

| Yeah, hand-raised parrots are usually way more comfortable with people. They’re handled from a young age, so they grow up being familiar with humans. When I got my macaw, I got a hand-raised one, which really helped with bonding. Suppose you’re looking for a social bird. You can find more info on this, especially for macaws, here: hyacinth macaw for sale. It’s got some good tips on why hand-raised birds are so great for families. |

I’ve always found parrots interesting, especially when they’re super social. From what I’ve seen, the earlier they’re around humans, the more comfortable they are in a home setting. A friend of mine has a hand-raised cockatiel, and it’s the friendliest bird I’ve ever seen. Seems like it makes a big difference for those who want a pet that interacts a lot.
