I have raised one from a hatchling. It fell from the ledge of my house. She's 2+ years old, very domesticated, and is totally in love with my husband. She has a luxury condo cage she sleeps in at night, uses puppy pads and fights me for my Cheetos, although she has every kind of seed they eat and love. She does munch on greens at times and has minerals and nutrient supplements she loves! My dogs vet thinks it's hilarious! She flies the neighborhood for hours and comes right back home and to our heads or shoulders and wants to come back indoors. Yes, she's well loved and cared for.
