Many years ago, because I was young and didn't really understand the risks, I handfed my dusky conure. It was a very rewarding experience. I really enjoyed it. However, now that I am old I have no desire to try it again. I know I could easily make a mistake and kill the baby. So, I guess I am too old now.
My dusky conure was very sweet and attached to me, but I think my current birds are as attached as she was. I played with some of them when they were still being handfed. However, the linnie, who is perhaps the sweetest most people oriented bird we have, was well over a year when I first saw her. She had been hand fed and then never sold. She is an absolute doll and the most likely of all of our birds to come over to us on her own when she is playing by herself. The conure I handfed years ago seemed no more attached to me than she is.
