FAQ: Do you hand feed?
Answer: No we do not. We DO hand tame. Hand feeding is not in the best interests of the bird from a long term health perspective and the fact that it doesn’t give a permanent solution to taming and handling your bird.
Birds are not domesticated the way dogs and cats have been for thousands of years. Even if you hand feed a bird, if you then stop handling the bird on a regular basis, it will revert back to "not tame" and you will have to work with it again regularly to bring that level of training back.
Budgies are extremely easy to "tame", and in my opinion people who want to rely on hand feeding are lazy and unlikely to give their bird the time required to bond with them. They want the easy way out, where the work is done for them. Hand feeding for non medical reasons, only benefits humans. Not the birds.
