Only my other half had his heart set on a ringneck but the shop owner said they were raised in an aviary so had not had human contact, not hand reared or anything.
Could a bird with very little contact be tamed to go to the hand eventually?
Neither of us have had to tame a bird before, so help please XD
there's no worries in that. Over here in the UK the norm is to aviary breed. My Green Cheek was Aviary bred and he was awesome, no less affectionate than a hand-bred bird it just took a bit of time and effort and his only interaction with humans before were this: picked up to get fit with a ring, grabbed from his parents to get put in a cage, grabbed from the cage to go into a box to come home with me.
it may take a little longer to do but taming is exactly the same process with a hand-bred bird. Hand-bred are just less fearful of humans as we're already associated with food. Slow movements, shameless bribery with treats, and patience. when they decide you're friend they'll be more than willing to see you. Rio for example decided I was friend and recall trained himself before he was trained to step up.
