Has anybody ever hand raised a Golden Shouldered Parrot?

Question

I have been fascinated by golden shouldered parrots for years- and would love to keep them in an aviary and breed them in the future. Just wondering if anybody has tested what they would be like as a pet? I know they probably wouldnt be able to talk- but they are pretty little birds so it strikes me that nobody has tried.

Answer 1

They're listed as endangered, so you can't keep one as a pet. They can only be found in a small part of Australia now as it is. Therefore I'm going to assume that not many people have ever hand raised one, besides wildlife rehabilitators perhaps.
