In answer to your question for someone who has been there...
I hand reared my cock bird from seven weeks old and introduced him to 3 hens none of which he liked! He is almost 2 yrs old and still I can't find him a hen which he accepts. However I believe there is no black or white answer to your question..... but pairing them when they are very young helps and their are varying degrees to which a bird is "hand reared"........ are we talking about a bird that is hand reared but when you stick your hand in the cage it tries to escape or are we talking about a bird that comes willingly, grooms your hair and always wants attention? It does make a difference..........depends what you mean when you say hand reared.....
