Breeding techniques of peony parrots.

The peony parrot, also known as the lovers' parrot, is found in Africa. There are two common types of black-headed peony parrots and brown-headed peony parrots in China.

1. Morphological characteristics. The black-headed peony parrot has a body length of about 14 cm, a red beak, and white eyes and waxy membrane. The head is black-brown with a reddish-yellow ring around the neck.

The upper thorax is orange-red, the dorsal and wings are green, and the wingends are black. The tail is green, and the feet are gray. The head of the brown-headed peony parrot is tan in color, commonly known as brown-headed peony.

2. Feeding management. Captive-bred peony parrots can be kept in pairs or in groups, and the activity space of each pair of birds shall not be less than 0 5 cubic meters. The bird cage should be made of 12-gauge lead wire, and the diameter of the mesh should not exceed 2 cm, so as to prevent the bird from drilling out and flying away.

The bottom of the cage should be covered with fine sand, and the feces should be cleaned up in time to ensure that the cage is clean and hygienic. Peony parrots are often fed with rice, millet, millet and other feeds, and can also be fed with hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, oyster meal, leafy vegetables and fruits. Daily can be put weeds, rice, millet press 3:

Mix feeding in a ratio of 2:2.

3. Reproduction. 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 insists on hatching except when she goes out for food and water and excrement. The chicks are fed by the parent birds after hatching, and can leave the nest in 35-40 days, and can be produced independently in about 50 days, and reach sexual maturity in 6 and a half months.

If you stretch out your hand to it to bite, it can bite your fingers to pieces, you can stay with it for two more days, my parrot was like this at the beginning, it will be fine after a long time, it will take more than a week, it will be hungry for a day, you always feed it when it is hungry, and gradually it will be familiar with you.

It's useless, it hurts a bite. Blood-seeing.

The general way is to starve it for a few hours, such as skipping a meal and not giving it food. Then take millet in your hand and feed it. When it is hungry, make sure it doesn't care about anything, so it comes up and eats. Go back and forth like this a few times, and it won't bite you.

I'm playing the parrot's beak with my hand, but it's fun, why don't you try it too?

Friends who love birds always feel envious when they see someone walking a parrot with their hands. In fact, parrots can be trained to get started, and it is not difficult to train. It is best to choose medium and large parrots to train parrots, first of all, so that the parrot is already accustomed to standing on the perch frame.

The training time must be chosen before each feeding, with one hand holding some food such as sunflower seeds, the other hand holding a perch, slowly move the perch in front of the parrot, if the parrot stands up, immediately hand the hand holding the food to reward it, and let it stand on the perch in hand to eat. After repeating the same training for a while, the parrot will gradually get used to standing on the perch in your hand.

At first, the parrot may try to bite you due to the different textures of the fingers and the perch, but you will definitely retract your hand right away, which will make the parrot think that your fingers are not a place to stand, and the training will be weakened. If you are really afraid of bites, you can train with canvas gloves first, and then take off the gloves when the parrot gets used to it. After a period of repeated training, the parrot will be able to become a real hands-on pet bird.

Next, you can put on an anklet and further train it to stand on your fingers and go out, first on the balcony or in a more secluded place at the door, and then gradually go out on the street to walk the birds. At this point, you can proudly enjoy the envious eyes of people who have passed on you.

The landlord is well, you can tell you that your mother bird seems to be a bad mother. Is it the first litter born this time? If it's the first litter, that's understandable.

Generally, the first litter of baby birds is not easy to survive because the mother bird is inexperienced. The second litter will be much more ruthless. There is also a peony egg laying period to strengthen nutrition.

If you have any questions, you can still ask me.

It may be that the temperature is low, and the data provided by the building is too small, such as whether the young birds have food, how to feed the adult birds, observe whether the parent birds feed the birds, and if the parent birds refuse to feed, they can be adopted in time.

"He always sticks his head into his wings and pecks at people"I didn't understand that. Biting people still have to stick their heads in the wings = =?

Do you always stick your head out to cut the feathers into your wings?

The hair on the top of the head may have been lost from a fight, and the hair on the back looks like a bald piece, if it is bald, then it may be a problem when changing the hair, such as malnutrition only falls off and does not grow, or it may be a parasite or a disease.

I myself have only seen malnutrition and parasites, and if the nutrition is not good, improve the diet, eat more grains, vegetables and fruits, and eat calcium-supplemented egg shells and cuttlefish bones, and it will be fine. If you have a parasite, use lemon water, or 100 steps to boil water to bathe him (if you spray with a watering can, please avoid your eyes and nose, and be careful not to catch a cold), the parasite will be gone, and the main target is feather lice, and the others are said to be effective (I have only used feather lice), lemonade is safer, after all, 100 steps is traditional Chinese medicine. (Please make sure it's really a parasite before taking the medicine, otherwise it will be harmful and useless)**I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't help you.

As for age. Just look at the **, the one above looks older than the one below. It is difficult to see the age of the peony when it is an adult, the whitening of the feet is one thing, and the creases and fine lines of the feet are also a manifestation of old age, but it is difficult to see the difference without comparing them together.

Give you an old bird's **, this is my 9-year-old peony, you look at his feet and tail, compare it with your family, my family has become like this since the age of 7, if your family does not have it, it is still very young.

It's an old bird The bald back is unscrewed off by a fight The peony is aggressive and unscrewed off normally It will grow up Your bird is not only not in good spirits Xuan is also drowsy Your house is too hot Pay attention to ventilation Shade Prevent heatstroke.

It's normal!Birds change their feathers every year in the summer, and the more feathers they lose, the stronger their physique.
