If the two birds in question arent tame and especially if one is used to living in an aviary I wouldnt have any problem doing an exchange like that. As long as the aviary owner knows what she/he is doing and the birds are sheltered well, clean and full of good food do the trade. I bought a "handreared" bird from a breeder as well and she is not tame either, well she kinda is in respect that I can sometimes get her to step onto my finger and occasionally she will come over to me. Always is in my dinner plate when Im eating, but other than that it purely up to her when she wants to be friendly. Im still love her heaps, but was really looking forward to a cuddly bird and still wish I had one, but I couldnt give her up. However no one is offering me a tempting deal either.

If the aviary owner is a good bird keeper then do it, but like the other responses its worth the drive to check them out first.
