The reproduction of the parrots is closely managed. Some species breed well and the parents raise their young themselves. In these cases, they are already older pairs. Unfortunately, young inexperienced parents are often helpless in front of their chicks and they can’t raise their young themselves. The breeding centre takes over from the pair and raises the young, or, surprisingly, entrusts them to another pair, not necessarily of the same species, and which will raise them in a more natural way than in the hand. Know-how and experience of professionals are essential in order to choose the best moment to entrust these young to foster parents who, if not, obviously reject and kill them.
