While I know we all have our opinions on buying unweaned birds, I'd really like to open this thread up to our experienced, responsible breeders here on AA. I'd like to hear the challenges they face, the things that can go wrong, the unexpected and unknown.
Perhaps, with some solid information to present from people who raise birds for a living, we can educate and enlighten anyone thinking of going that path before things go horribly wrong.
Please, don't turn this thread into a bash. Please, only reply if you have actual, practical, hand's on experience. I don't want the thread to get flooded with unnecessary comments/opinions. I'd like this to be an informative, learning thread from those who really live the life of bird breeding and the hand feeding aspect of it.
Even if you're not a breeder, but have extensive experience in hand feeding and it's hazards, I'd like to hear from your. People in rescue, vet related fields, etc.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and contributions.
A note from Birdiemarie: This thread is now a sticky so please keep it on topic for information purposes.
