Hey guys! I'm getting 3 baby green cheek conures in a few days. I'll be keeping one and the other two will be finding other great homes.
I have lots of hand raising experience, so my question isn't about that.
For those of you who have purchased a hand-raised bird (or even have thoughts on how you could've done better), I'd love to hear your opinions.
Here's my list so far:

Here's my list so far:
- As many foods as possible
- Raised with kids and in a home hearing dogs and cats (will NOT interact with predator species)
- Will meet safe strangers
- Will be exposed to harnesses and birdie backpacks (I do understand the safety issues some have had with them, but I like them for a lot of reasons)
- Will be sexed, tested for PBFD, Polyoma, Chlamydia, and avian herpesvirus
- Will be vaccinated for polyoma
- Will be exposed to claws gently being filed
