I was recently at an exotic parrot bird store and the sales woman said that there is a difference between a hand-fed parrot and a hand-reared parrot. The latter has received love and attention, not just food. I completely agreed with her.
I have hand-reared my Macaws from the ages of about 6 months and 6 weeks - and my Macaws are loving and cuddly. A friend is having me take care of Emerald, their Hahn's Macaw, for a week and I've done it before. Emerald is a gem!
Emerald is around 12 years old - and I've only known her for a year, but we did spend a lot of time together, so she loves coming for grooming and to visit. And she is cuddly. Emerald is a lover!
Yes, I do find Emerald to be as cuddly as my Mac'Girls. She's like a boomerang, always bouncing back onto my shoulder and always wanting to sing, be pet and be loved. Of course, she's easier to handle than my monster Mac'Girls, because my Macaws are big girls -
Yes, I think that Emerald, as a representative for Hahn's Macaws that are hand-fed and/or reared, has as much cuddling in her, just in a smaller parrot-package. Frankly, I'm surprised Mini Macaws aren't more common- they are gorgeous, intelligent and their call isn't as loud as my Mac'Girls. Then again, my Macaws don't squawk as often...
