The artificial breeding of the golden oriole, the living habits of the golden oriole

1. Feed for orioles: mainly cornmeal, soybean cake noodles, cooked eggs, lean pork or beef, as well as flour worms, fruits and vitamins. Because it is difficult for newly caught birds to adapt to artificial feed, they need to be fed first, then lured to eat, and finally the birds can eat themselves.

2. The method of filling the food: it is to hold the bird body with the left hand, and the index finger and mother finger of the right hand take the meat strip to tease the bird to open its mouth, and when the mouth is opened, then fill the meat strip into it to swallow it. If the bird does not open its mouth, you can use the thumb of the right hand to open the beak and fill in the meat strips.

Fill the feed 4 times a day, and let the bird drink water after filling the food.

3. The method of attracting food: It is to make a thin porridge with 100 grams of cornmeal, 50 grams of bean cake noodles, and a crushed hot egg, pour it into the food tank, and put a few mealworms on the surface of the porridge. At the same time, remove the water tank from the cage and reduce the number of times the food is filled.

When a bird is hungry or thirsty, it may peck at itself. If you find that the bird can eat on its own and can eat enough, you can stop feeding at this time.

4. In the early stage of feeding, in order to prevent birds from hitting the cage and damaging the feathers, a 25 20 15 cm size cage can be made. It is required that the front of the cage is made of a bamboo grille that can transmit light, and the other four sides are made of wooden boards with a bright bottom. This cage allows the bird to be quiet and mobile, but not to fly.

After the bird adapts to the environment and "recognizes the food", it can be raised in a medium-sized square cage or with a wire cage of starling.

5. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene every day, change food and water once a day, wash the bottom of the cage and the fecal board 1 2 times a week to prevent pollution of the bird's feathers and toes, and prevent the feed from mildew and deterioration in summer, especially fruits and so on must not be left in the cage overnight. During the moulting period, protein feed and vitamins should be added. In winter, it is necessary to spend the winter indoors in the north, and the room temperature should be above 10.

Golden orioles often move alone or in pairs, and sometimes in loose flocks of 3-5 birds. It is mainly active in the canopy of tall trees and rarely descends to the ground. During the breeding period, it likes to hide in the branches and foliage of the canopy, the song is crisp and tactful, rich in spring, and can change the tone and imitate the song of other birds, the song is most frequent in the early morning, sometimes while flying and singing, the flight is in a wave pattern.

Every year in May, the male birds move to the breeding area, and most of the males appear first, and soon they are paired up, and their songs are loud and varied. It is mainly eaten by insects, but also loves berries, mainly mulberry and sand dates, and the rest are adults and larvae of Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, praying mantis, etc. During the mulberry ripening season, they forage in the mulberry forest several days long.

Its general breeding habits resemble those of the black-naped oriole, weaving hanging nests between the horizontal branches of tall trees, which are completed by the combined efforts of males and females but are dominated by females, and the males mainly collect nest timber and weave by females. The nest is made of plant fibers and long grass stems, with an outer diameter of 12 14 cm, an inner diameter of 8 5 11 5 cm, a height of 6 9 cm, and a depth of 4 5 cm. Each clutch lays 3 5 eggs, with 4 being the most common.

The eggs are pale pink or ivory-white, with sparse near-black or reddish-brown spots, and the egg shell is shiny. Egg diameter 21 7 22 5 mm. The eggs are mainly borne by the female, and the male is fed to the female or short-term replacement.

Incubation period 13-15 days. Newly hatched chicks have long, yellowish down feathers that leave the nest after being fed by the parent birds for several days.

The oriole is one of the finest birds kept in the home. 1 In the initial feeding management of the yellow bird, in order to prevent it from hitting the cage and damaging the feathers, a 25 20 15 cm plate cage can be used. Because of the low light of this cage, the bird can be kept quiet and physically mobile, but it can effectively prevent the cage from hitting the cage.

After the bird has adapted to the environment and "recognized the food", it can make a medium-sized square cage of 90 60 60 cm or a wire cage with starling. 2 The feed of the oriole is mainly lean pork or beef, cornmeal, bean cake flour, cooked eggs, flour worms, fruits, and vitamins. Newly caught birds are more difficult to adapt to the artificial feed, and often have to be fed first, then baited, and finally self-fed.

The method of feeding is to hold the bird's body with the left hand, and use the meat strips with the index finger and thumb of the right hand to tease the bird to open its mouth, and when the mouth is open, then fill the meat strips into it and make it swallow. If the bird does not open its mouth, you can use the thumb and index finger of the right hand to break the beak and fill in the meat strips. Be cautious and not rush when filling food.

Feed 4 times a day, and let the bird drink water after each feeding. 3 The method of attracting is to make 100 grams of cornmeal, 50 grams of soybean cake noodles, and a crushed boiled egg into a thin porridge shape, pour it into the food jar, and put a few flour worms on the surface of the porridge. At the same time, remove the water pitcher from the cage and reduce the number of feeding times.

When a bird is hungry or thirsty, it may peck at itself. Birds are found to be able to feed on their own, and when they are full, they can stop feeding. 4. In the daily management of raising orioles, we should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and wash the bottom of the cage and the fecal board once or twice a week to prevent pollution of the bird's feathers and toes.

In summer, it is necessary to prevent the feed from becoming moldy and spoiling. During the moulting period, protein feed and vitamins should be added. Winter feeding needs to be indoors, and the room temperature should be above 10.

In short, as long as it is properly managed and raised, a beautiful oriole will bring a lot of fun to your family.
