After losing the aviary roof in the storms, all birds have recovered well . Mickey and Millie are sitting on eggs. I now have to wear protection to go in aviary as they go on full attack to protect their eggs. This is Mickey watching my every move [Users must be registered and logged in to view attached photos or hyperlinks]

Do you hand raise them or just let the parents raise and tame them later?

I was hoping to let the parents rear these ones, but if they have too bigger clutch of babies I will need to take a couple away as it would be too demanding on the parents. I have always tried to leave at least one baby in with the parents whenever I breed any bird. Many of the young I have hand reared during the years, from greys to budgies. The ones that be left with the parents I will be handling a lot so they are hand tame

Looks like you in a lot of photos Mickey and Millie got 6 eggs if all hatch will need to hand rear some. So I think you might be right Wendy 6 it gonna beUsually they hatch all their eggs.
