How do parrots hunt and how do they feed their little parrots?

They use their beaks to pick nuts from trees, and use their strong beaks to bite open the hard shells of the fruits and feed on the flesh. Sometimes, they can also help them get the pulp with the help of their tongues and paws. For softer fruits, they can be swallowed directly.

Like honeysuckers, they have evolved a longer, elongated, brush-like tongue with bristles to help them reach for nectar.

And like New Zealand's sheep parrots, in addition to eating plant foods such as fruits and leaf buds, they can also eat meat. They feed on insects, dead bodies, garbage, other small animals such as shearwater chicks, and lamb peck.

What to pay attention to when raising a parrot.

In the process of raising parrots, common diseases include respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, and parasitic diseases. The prevention and control methods are as follows

1 Respiratory diseases: The common respiratory organ is a cold, the symptom of which is a runny nose. When the birds catch a cold, they are immediately moved indoors and given a warm temperature, and they will soon heal themselves.

If the disease does not heal on its own, borax can be dissolved in warm water, prepared into 2 4% boric acid solution, used to rinse around the nostrils, and fed canary grass seed feed to enhance resistance. You can also put a few drops of wine in your drinking water or feed it a vitamin preparation to help it regain its health.

2. Digestive organ disease: due to eating unclean concentrate feed or unhygienic drinking water, causing diarrhea, sick birds generally discharge white pulp and thin feces, and the feathers on the lower abdomen are dirty. After the birds suffer from this disease, the staple food feed is only fed to the barnyard and transferred to a warm place to raise, and the bird should be isolated in one cage to prevent infection.

Add a few drops of red wine to your drinking water. In severe cases, drugs can be used, adding dysentery to the drinking water, adding 1000 ml of water after each tablet is crushed). Drink for 3 days to heal.

3 Parasitic diseases: There are many feather lice on budgies, and attention must be paid to elimination. The method of getting rid of lice can be done with veterinary anti-powder or with a magic pen.

In addition, budgies are also infested by bloodsucking insects. Nest boxes are often the base camp for producing bloodsucking insects. After each incubation, the nest box should be scalded with boiling water immediately, and then the box should be coated with an aqueous solution of insecticide BGP that is harmless to the birds, so as to keep it clean and dry to prevent parasites.

Parrots are vegetarian and do not need to be caught.

Parrots like to eat millet in shell the most, and although they can eat rice when it is dismantled, they do not like to eat it. To raise a small parrot, you can eat millet and weeds as the main food, and then prepare some hemp seeds or soybeans, of course, the amount of this kind of food should not exceed 10%.

1.When choosing food for a parrot. The most basic is multigrain.

Small parrots mainly eat millet and small pieces of fruit. Vegetables are the staple food. Big parrots are different.

For example, macaws. They love to eat fruits. Carrot.

Mango. berries, etc. Dafei loves to eat rice.

Hazelnuts as well as a variety of fruits. Sunflower parrots are suitable for eating a variety of vegetables as well as fruits. Grey parrots are the same as sunflowers.

Alexander parrots love to eat young shoots. It is suitable for eating nectar (don't pick it), fruits, cereals, etc.

2.Many people will buy melon seeds for parrots to eat. Because training a parrot to eat melon seeds can greatly improve its alertness.

However, many people choose to feed parrots with fried melon seeds on the street. There is dust in such melon seeds. And with oil.

Not good for the parrot's health. Easy to have diarrhea (when diarrhea, the appropriate amount of injection points is blue. But be sure to find a professional to inject it).

The bagged melon seeds are processed. There are many elements that are not suitable for parrots. So feed the parrot melon seeds.

It is best to give the parrot peasant seeds. Also known as natural filial piety melon seeds. This kind of melon seed is healthy.

and nutritious. But you need to go to the countryside to pick it. So buy sunflower seeds at the market and grow them yourself.

But it's best to plant one tree at a time. Does not affect nutrient absorption. Friends who want sunflowers to grow fast must not use pesticides (the main reminder for rural farms.

City drops and some can't be bought). Pesticides can make sunflower seeds unhealthy. People are also not suitable for eating this kind of melon seeds.

3.Never feed parrots foods that contain oil (fat). For example, fried melon seeds in oil. Parrots get sick easily after eating oil!.

4.Free-range parrots. Food for parrots must be kept in a conspicuous place outside.

Easy for parrots to find. And you won't be foolish enough to know when he's hungry. When to be thirsty.

And also. Parrots should be stopped from excreting feces into food in time.

Parrots like to eat millet in the shell the most, and although they can eat rice, they don't like to eat it. To raise a small parrot, you can eat millet and weeds as the main food, and then prepare some hemp seeds or soybeans, of course, the amount of this kind of food should not exceed 10%. In addition, to ensure that the parrot eats enough nutrients in its diet, the keeper can also prepare some fresh vegetables and inorganic salts and other foods.

For example, cabbage, rape, bone meal, oyster meal, and so on will do.

1. The feeding of yellow budgies is mainly based on seed mixture feed or self-prepared feed;

2. It is not advisable to give a large amount of green food, so as not to cause parrot diarrhea;

3. Fresh chickweed and grass with seeds are the food that yellow budgies love to eat, and it should be noted that the amount of this green food should be controlled to avoid diarrhea caused by parrots' greed;

4. In general, yellow budgies have a relatively strong physique and can be raised outdoors.

I raise my own peony parrots, and I need to prepare a cool white open to feed the parrot (pour an extra bowl of cool water every morning when I drink water, and change the water for the parrot), don't use tap water, just like feeding other animals, small animals are easy to have diarrhea when they drink tap water, and the tap water is very dirty!! Birds don't know how big to buy, my family has been raising two, buy the kind of birdcage villa (2 buildings, there are swings, ladders, 4 food basins), the food bowl can be put online to buy parrot cereals (recommended to buy cereals, although I have also seen some people only buy yellow millet seeds, always feel unnutritious, and parrots actually like to eat melon seeds and hemp seeds the most), parrot snacks I bought natural yellow millet, that is, there is a pole, there are a lot of yellow millet on the pole. (Parrots love to eat this, too), and remember that if you want to train your parrot, you have to hide all the food it loves, interact with it, and reward it if it does what you want.

Note, don't feed too many melon seeds and hemp seeds, a few grains a day is fine, because this kind of food has a lot of oil, and long-term consumption is like people eating fried food, delicious, but in moderation.

Probably feeding precautions are these, if you still have questions, please ask, thank you.
