     I don't think a beginner would have any problem hand feeding a baby 
macaw IF that person was instructed correctly!  I have brought up 3 Congo 
Greys from 5 weeks old without any problem.  The key is being taught 
correctly how to do it.  If you don't have enough time to spend hand 
feeding a baby bird, do the bird a favor and let someone experienced do it. 
 If you do have the time, usually the breeder that you purchase the bird 
from will help you.
