Hand feeding for beginners.
Hand feeding baby birds is only a substitute for parent-raised birds, but it does have certain advantages. The hand-raised baby usually makes a better pet, as it has been completely socialized with humans. Hand-raised babies grow up with no fear of humans or other potential dangers such as cats, dogs and young children. Hand feeding is a huge responsibility and requires time, patience and a complete commitment. The little bird in your care is entirely reliant on you for everything. Hand feeding is a job best left for the experienced bird breeder or aviculturalist.
