Hi, just wondering what the difference between handraised and handreared is, if any?

Hand raised and hand reared are the same. What you have to make sure of is if a bird is handraised, is it purely fed the food and placed back, or is it fed and handled alot.

I call one hand fed , the other hand raised.

I normally say hand reared vs hand tamed.
