[stevenotts33]

i really do wanna breed them but cant hand rear

I have never heard reports of eating their young... but I have heard that sometimes first time parents don't know what to do and may let them die.... or if there is only one in the nest, sometimes the male will kill it to throw the female back into breeding mode.

I'm not a breeder though, so I'm sure someone who knows will respond too.

There are a lot of people that think that all birds should be parent-raised.
