The brown headed peony has laid eggs, how to raise it

Peony parrots can breed in all seasons of the year, except for the hot summer. Generally, females lay 6 8 eggs per nest, and the incubation period is about 19 days. During the incubation process, the male bird insists on watching over and feeding the female outside the nest, while the female bird continues to hatch except when she goes out for feeding, drinking and defecation.

The chicks are fed by the parent birds after hatching, and can leave the nest in 35 to 40 days, live independently in about 50 days, and reach sexual maturity in 6 and a half months.

Peony parrots are suitable for group breeding, and the cage area can be appropriately arranged according to the needs of breeding exhibitions, and there needs to be a suitable open space for their sports. In spring, summer and autumn, it is advisable to have moderate light. The northern winter should remain at 15 to 22.

The cages may be enclosed with fine lead wire mesh or thick glass. A small amount of breeding in the family (1 5 pairs), can be modified with a wooden box, one side is a suitable metal mesh, carefully raised, that is, you can get a better play and breeding effect. The cage needs to be padded with clean fine sand for feeding.

The cage is equipped with a perch of sufficient thickness and suitable thickness to facilitate exercise and rest.

Peony parrots in captivity can be fed with a variety of feeds, such as biscuits, bread, steamed buns, rice, vegetables, a variety of fruits, etc. In a large number of parks or zoos, you can use budgie mixture as the main feed, and at the same time feed enough vegetables and fruits, you can successfully achieve breeding. During the brooding period, 70% cooked corn flour, 28% cooked eggs, and 2% bone meal were mixed with wet meal.

It is beneficial for the chicks to grow normally. A variety of wild grasses and dandelions, etc., are ideal green fodder for peony parrots.

You can ask for some cuttlefish bones in the nest. If they have already laid eggs, they don't need to pay attention, because they don't like to be disturbed when they have laid eggs, and they will not hatch any more birds if they are alarmed. The mother bird will feed the baby parrot after it is born, so the landlord does not have to worry too much.

Peony parrot breeding period starts from every summer, male and female are freely paired, generally female birds produce 6-8 soft pieces per nest, the incubation period is about 19 days, during the incubation period, the male bird guards and feeds the female bird in the hole, the female bird drinks water directly every day, feeds and excretes before leaving the nest, the nestling leaves the nest after 34-40 days, and the chick still needs to feed the parent bird for 2 weeks to live independently.

Breeding peony parrots is a very interesting thing, however, many people still think that this thing is a bit difficult, at least I have heard more than once that some people think that peonies can not breed under home breeding conditions at all, my grandmother also raised a pair of peonies, but when the peonies in my family have begun to come out of the nest, the first rent of the bridge is still in a "familiar" state of peonies! Now I will talk about a few problems that should be paid attention to in the propagation of peonies:

When selecting a species, it is best not to buy a so-called "pair" of birds from a bird keeper. A pair here is often just two of the same color that they match, especially when buying some rare colors, so that the two are likely to be birds in the same litter, and even the sex may be the same Think about the consequences of this celery omen!

When you buy a bird, you can choose your favorite color combination, not necessarily the same color, my bird is blue with green, the offspring appear dark green and yellow-green, if you just raise your own play, this is the best, soon your aviary will appear in a variety of colors of birds, this should be the joy of every bird lover; But if you're trying to breed, you'd better pay attention to the solid color (at least in Xi'an. ）

For questions about how to choose a parent generation to breed birds, you can use: Peach-faced Peony Parrot Genetic Calculator. Peony parrots generally give birth to 3-5 eggs at a time, but the first few eggs of the female will not hatch immediately, we must pay attention, do not think that this is the female abandoned eggs, do not open the nest box casually to observe, their incubation time is to hatch after the last egg is born, generally in about 28 days, to lay an egg every other day, their actual hatching period is more than a month, and in the later stage of the hatchling is about to emerge, the hatching of the female bird will show insensitivity to the omen, this is a sign of the shell, If you think it's a female bird's abandonment of her eggs, you're wrong!

There is also more sawdust in the nest box, at least 10 cm thick, and the nest box should be large enough, my nest box is 30 * 28 * 28 specifications, if you use a small nest box of tiger skin to breed peonies, I am afraid it is not easy to succeed.

During the breeding period, it is necessary to pay attention not to lack greens, cucumbers and rape work well, spinach is easy to lose water and dry up, and birds do not like to eat it very much. It is best not to alarm the female when the peony parrot hatches, in fact, you don't need to be canned, think about what you can do after candling? If you have to open the nest box, it must be during the day, and if it is in the evening, then the consequence is likely to cause the female to not enter the nest overnight.

Seven months later, a pair will be soon. If you can't wait, feed the cuttlefish bones, eggs, and millet.

Peony parrots need to keep the environment quiet during breeding.

Moderate supplementation with sunlight and vitamins is also necessary.

If the eggs are laid and cannot hatch, they may be unfertilized.

It is very good to breed, the female bird is younger, and the male bird is older

Before laying eggs, he will bite something into the nest, at which point you should give him a little hay.
