How to raise birds, how to raise birds

There are many types of birds, and most of the ones raised at home are ornamental, such as larks, thrushes, larks, etc. Caged children are generally chosen. When breeding, according to its habits, it is necessary to match the feed, pay attention to drinking water hygiene, and do a good job of cleaning the cage, and birds like a clean environment.

Usually control the amount when feeding, not too much at a time, and don't let it eat leftovers. There are also birds that need to be trained to chirp, so that the breeding effect will be better.

Caged birds should be provided with clean drinking water, cool boiled water or tap water is better, mineral water is too hard to boil into boiling water and use it after cooling, river water is generally not used because it is too dirty. When supplying drinking water, it is necessary to prevent the lack of water in the water tank, and the water can not be added too much, so as to prevent the bird from bathing in the water tank, so the curved neck drinking water device or a loofah or sponge can be put in the water tank, so that the bird can only drink water and can not pan for water. In the summer and autumn high temperature season, you should check whether there is still water in the water tank at any time, and add clean drinking water when there is a shortage of water.

To prevent the water from deteriorating, a piece of charcoal can be added to the tank. The water is usually changed once a day.

Use less than half a hard-boiled egg, add an appropriate amount of water and cod liver oil, mix well, and use a clean "nose drop" plastic medicine bottle to feed the birds, and feed them every 1-2 hours.

Artificial feeding of chicks, can be used soybean flour, cooked egg yolk, green cabbage leaves, meat, cod liver oil, calcium powder and other water to mix into a paste, and then with bamboo picking, when the chicks open their mouths to beg, quickly send the feed to the bird's beak.

Due to the large amount of food eaten by the chicks, it is generally 6:00 to 6:30 in the morning. Feed the first food, and feed the last time at 19:00 in the evening. Start feeding every 2 hours, and after 7 days, you can feed every 3 to 4 hours.

After that, the birds can be fed according to their beaks and calls. During this period, if the chicks are able to peck at the fallen debris to eat, the feed can be placed aside for them to eat.

5.In addition to being rich in nutrition, artificially fed chicks also need to have some basic common sense. When raising birds, you must not forget to feed, if you do not feed them all day, it will inevitably cause the birds to starve to death.

6.The chicks should be fed more often and remember not to overfeed at one time. The chicks already have enough water in their diet, so be careful not to give them extra water.

7.Young birds have poor ability to resist cold and keep warm, and they lose the love of their parent birds, and are prone to illness and even death. Appropriate measures to keep warm are required when feeding in captivity. Spread some feathers or cotton wool under the nest, and cover it with a thin layer of wool at night, but pay attention to ventilation.

8.As the feathers become abundant and the temperature rises, the cover in the nest is gradually reduced. If the temperature drops significantly, you can hang a 25 40 watt light bulb in the cage, and a black cloth on the periphery of the bulb. While paying attention to keeping warm, the young birds should not be overheated.

Small parrots are relatively easy to raise birds, usually raised in iron cages, can not be raised with bamboo, wooden cages, because bamboo, wooden cages are easy to be gnawed and the phenomenon of bird escape, feeding cages to large appropriate. If it is used for breeding, a breeding cage can be used, which can be made of wire and its size is 65 cm x 60 cm x 50 cm. The nest box is made of two layers of wood, and the mouth of the nest box is about 5 cm square.

The nest box can be hung outside the cage or inside the cage, and it should be paid attention to the wall when it is outside the cage to facilitate the entry and exit of the birds. The shoulder of the nest box can be used to lure the nest, and then the sawdust is padded to facilitate the concentrated incubation of eggs. The gypsum nest box is stable and not easy to shake, giving the bird a sense of security.

The selected parent bird should be healthy, light in size, flexible in movement, and free of leg and toe disabilities. The age of the mating bird should be the same, or the male bird should be slightly larger than the female. Two methods can be used to pair, one is to separate the male and female first, and then put them in pairs in the cage to pair, observe for a few days to determine the love pair, such as 1 week still can not match the pair needs to be exchanged; The second is free-range breeding in large cages, and then caught and put into breeding cages for breeding after pairing.

When breeding, it is necessary to supply nest materials, such as hay, strips of paper, strips of cloth, hemp silk, bamboo silk, etc. The incubation period is about 18 days. The hatchlings need to leave the nest for about 40 days, and the young birds need to be fed by the parent birds for about 2 weeks before they can move independently.

In order to make the young birds live independently as soon as possible, the nest should be divided in time, the young birds should be separated from the breeding cage, and only one rope bird should be fed, so that the physical illusion of the parent bird can recover quickly, and it can enter the next egg laying cycle in time. The breeding season of the parent bird is generally about 4 years.

There is a certain knack for the preparation of feed for parrots, and it should not be fed because it likes to eat, but should be reasonably matched with a variety of feeds.

Egg rice: 1 kg of millet and 4 egg yolks are stirred, and the dosage generally accounts for 40 of the total feeding amount.

Rice: It is better to eat rice with rice husks, and small parrots with seed coats of rice are very fond of eating, which can supplement starch, protein, trace elements and vitamins, and can increase the chewing ability of the beak. The dosage generally accounts for 30 of the total feeding amount.

Millet: generally accounts for 10 to 15 of the total amount of feeding.

The remaining part can be fed with hemp seeds, barnyard grass seeds, melon seeds, etc. According to practical experience, it is better to feed 10-20 raw melon seeds every day.

Give it food when you're hungry.

Sleepy let it sleep.

Let it drink when it is thirsty.

What kind of people you want to raise, you are not afraid of bothering to raise budgies, peony parrots, small pearls, jade birds, and white birds can all be very simple and easy to raise.

For example, some small parrots are better.
