How do you raise a newborn cuckoo? How do you raise cuckoo chicks?

1. Maintain hunger, provided that it does not affect development.

If a young bird asks for food once an hour, then it can be extended by 20 minutes on this basis. Generally, old birds use this method to induce young birds to stand on their own. When the bird's plumage is full, teach the bird to forage for food by itself with hunger, so don't feed it all before the bird will eat soft food, otherwise it will lose the motivation to survive.

Generally, the beak of the chick will be wide open, and the food we give should be sufficiently hydrated, and it is advisable to try to pinch it out of shape. Then use a small piece of suitable bamboo to pick up the food and feed it. As the bird grows older, its beak grows smaller and smaller, and the amount of pick-and-fed food decreases until the bird gradually hides or the food is not delivered to the mouth, and the bird closes its mouth and begins to peck at the food itself.

At this time, the water content of the bird food should be appropriately reduced, and the food can be kneaded into long strips. Try to be as thick and long as possible in the size of the food that can be fed in one bite, and replace the tools for feeding the chicks with bamboo sticks. The feeding stick should be properly moistened with water before and after feeding, and a little oxytetracycline can also be added to the water.

3. Tips for young birds to get out of the cage.

When the feathers are full, they will gradually eat soft food and will be reluctant to stay in the cage anymore. They tend to be impatient, and some may be trying to drill through the cracks in the cage, as if they are afraid of people. Don't worry, they just want to get out of the cage and play.

The cage is too small, and the artificially fed big ones will not be afraid of people, and the situation of anti-wild is that it belongs to the kind of artificial feeding to the chicks just after eating, and no longer close to it for a long time due to work or other reasons, just put water and food every day, which can easily lead to anti-wild. It is recommended that artificially fed young birds will eat on their own, and it is best to be close to the young birds for at least 1 month after that. Make it a little more memorable for you, in case of rebellion.

Then again, for birds that always want to come out of the cage to play, we can release the bird out of the cage inside the house and think of some way to let it know that the cage is the best, and that it is safe to eat and drink. You can let it go for a while, but don't feed it outside, and let it go back to its cage when it is hungry. Go back and forth a few times like this, and you will return to the cage on its own.

But if the bird has just hatched a small bird, you will not be able to feed it, just like the pigeon chicks are like this, they vomit out of their throat when they are fed, and the things that are given to the child contain something that is easy to digest, that is, there are digestive juices.

<>1. The cuckoo is the cuckoo bird.

2. The cuckoo bird eats insects, and it is difficult to receive feed, so it is only fed with insects.

3. Grasshoppers, crickets, bread worms, barley worms, etc. can be used as food to feed the first search.

4. After a period of rearing, you can try to feed the feed made of insects such as spring worms in the bread cavity, if it can accept it is the best.

It is mainly summer migratory birds, and some traveling birds. In the spring, they move in April and May, and they move away in September and October.

Sexual loneliness, often solitary. Flying fast and powerful, often in a straight line. When flying, the wings vibrate with a large amplitude, but there is no sound. During breeding, he likes to chirp, and often stands on the top branches of arbors and chirps endlessly.

Sometimes it chirps at night or chirps while flying, and its cry is so loud and loud that it can be heard from a long distance The rough and monotonous sound of "cuckoo-cuckoo" can be heard repeating 20 times a minute. The chirp is loud, two times, like "kuk-ku".

It feeds mainly on pine caterpillars, dance moths, pine needle leaf moths, and other lepidopteran larvae. It also eats locusts, walking beetles, kowtowers, bees, and other insects.

About two-thirds of cuckoos, including all species in North America, nest and nurse their young; Only about 35% of cuckoos raise their young in a parasitic way. Most inhabit the woods of tropical and temperate regions.

Nest parasitism is a special reproductive behavior in which birds lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, and their prosthetic parents incubate and brood on their behalf. **The meadow pipit (Anthus pratensis) fed on the large rhododendron is an example of an interspecific nest parasitic type. The great cuckoo is one of the more typical of the more than 80 species of nest parasitism, and it can parasitize its eggs in the nests of 125 other species of birds.

Nest parasitic behavior is manifested in the selection of hosts, and the large cuckoo looks for hosts similar to those in the incubation and brooding stages during the breeding period, the feeding habits of the chicks are basically the same, and the oval shape and color are easy to imitate, and most of them are passerine birds. In terms of parasitism, the large cuckoo mostly produces eggs quickly before the host starts to incubate eggs, and when the host leaves the nest.

In late spring and early summer, it flies north. It does not make its own nests and does not hatch eggs, laying an average of 2-10 eggs per year, but it lays eggs in the nests of thrushes and reeds, and allows these birds to carefully incubate them for themselves. And it only produces one nest per nest it flies to.

The co-evolution of nest parasitism is manifested in the morphological characteristics of host eggs. The eggs of the parasite do not differ significantly in color, size, etc. At the same time, the host's ambiguity of the egg is also an aspect.

As a result of the reproduction of the host, the cuckoo often removes one egg from the host before laying eggs, or pushes all of them out of the nest, forcing the host to lay eggs again. Once the nest-parasitic chicks hatch, it has the habit of pushing the nestlings out of the nest, so as to enjoy the exclusive parenting and breeding, so that the success rate of the host will be reduced.
