I stand firm in my belief that baby parrots are to be reared by their parents or EXPERIENCED handfeeders.

apology accepted. Did you know a pair of macaws can hatch up to 4 eggs, 2 WILL STARVE TO DEATH. 2 may survive if there is enough food for the parents to give them, but usualy does not work out that way. Usualy only 1 baby survives. Did you know that 99% of all handfed baby birds survive, and that includes the number of babies sold to inexperienced handfeeders. I have herd about all the babies dying in the hands of inexperienced handfeeders, But how many have survived and were raised properly by inexperienced people? I am being serious. Does anyone know the # of babies that turned out fine? Maybe 2 in 10 die and the other 8 turn out ok? Same or even better odds than macaw parent raised, if that is the case. The breeder that I bought my baby from said that they have sold many babies and have only had 1 macaw die. Man sprayed roundup in his yard, next day took macaw outside. The macaw died, but not from handfeeding. Simple accident, he did not know the dangers of roundup.
