Why Hand-Raised Birds Make the Best Pets for Families
Share
If you’re looking for a loving, social pet bird, a hand-raised budgie or cockatiel is the perfect choice! These birds are raised with care, handled daily, and grow up comfortable around people – making them ideal companions for families.
At Nurtured Nests, we specialise in hand-raised budgies and cockatiels across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Redlands. Here’s why hand-raised birds make such wonderful pets.
1. They’re More Social and Friendly
Hand-raised birds are used to being around people from a young age. They are tamer, friendlier, and more confident than parent-raised birds.
2. Easier to Bond With
Because they’re used to human interaction, hand-raised birds form stronger bonds and love spending time with their families.
3. Great for Children and First-Time Owners
Hand-raised budgies and cockatiels are less nervous and easier to handle, making them perfect for families or first-time bird owners.
4. They Learn Quickly
Friendly, social birds are easier to train to talk, whistle, and do tricks, making them even more fun to have as companions.
5. A Loving Start for a Lifetime Companion
Hand-raising ensures each bird receives love, attention, and the best start to life. That early care shows in their affectionate, happy personalities.
