What's the point of keeping three parrots? Nowadays, many people have the habit of raising animals and plants, which can increase the interest of life. Parrots are cute little creatures. If they are taught well, some parrots can learn to speak. Let's learn the significance of raising three parrots.

What's the point of keeping three parrots? 1 1. You can't just feed sunflower seeds. Generally speaking, parrots like to eat sunflower seeds, but most bird friends regard them as the only food. However, this behavior will reduce the fun and ability of parrots to eat, and feeding only sunflower seeds will easily lead to nutritional imbalance. In addition, sunflower seeds are rich in lipids, which can easily lead to obesity.

2. Don't hit its mouth or other parts of the body. When your parrot bites, don't throw it on the ground or shake it, let alone put it in a cupboard or bathroom, and don't throw it into a bird cage. These acts are coercive and aggressive. Your parrot will resist your violence, fight back your attacks, and become constantly biting, confused and afraid. It will only associate you with the behavior that scares it.

3. Don't heat the birdcage. Most kinds of parrots have certain cold resistance, and some parrot owners don't know this, so they heat the birdcage in cold winter. As a result, parrots come and go between cages and activity places, and the temperature difference is too large to make birds catch a cold. As long as the parrot is not hungry, not directly blown by the cold wind, and the room temperature is kept above 5℃ in winter, it can make the parrot spend the winter comfortably.

4. Don't let the parrot stand on the shoulder. For the owner with long hair, the hair may be unwittingly wrapped around the wings and feet of the bird until the tissue is necrotic. No one will forget that there is a parrot on his arm, but the parrot on his shoulder may not pay attention and accidentally go out to fly.

5. Overfeeding is prohibited. When feeding parrots, don't worry about feeding them too much, because they are hungry. In nature, parents must take turns to go out for food to feed their chicks, so chicks can't feed until the bursa of Fabricius is full. Therefore, the feeding method of young parrots should be a small number of meals, and before feeding, it is necessary to ensure that all the food fed last time has been digested to avoid the accumulation and fermentation of old food, which will cause crop infection.

Matters needing attention

1. Parrot feces and feathers are hotbeds of bacteria in a warm and humid home environment. In order to ensure the health of parrots and their families, cages, perches and other items that parrots come into contact with should be cleaned and disinfected frequently. When parrots play in areas where their families often play (such as floors, sofas and beds), they should be padded with newspapers, plastic bags or cloth pieces to prevent the pollution of parrot remains.

It is best to eat fruits and vegetables raw, but they should be washed and disinfected before feeding. Ordinary household detergents and disinfectants cannot disinfect food. You can put cold water in a clean basin, add a few spoonfuls of refined salt and a little lemon juice to make a soaking solution, soak the fruits and vegetables in it for 5- 10 minutes, soak the leafy vegetables for about 3 minutes, and then take them out and rinse them with tap water.

3, indoor temperature discomfort will make the parrot's physique decline, the immunity will deteriorate, and even lead to parrot death.

It is necessary to train parrots. Give a fixed amount of food at a fixed time, which is far less than the previous amount, so that the parrot can learn to understand that there is so much food at this time. If it is allocated, we have to wait for the next meal, and gradually we will cherish the food and change our behavior, which requires the cooperation of the family; If it is a parrot with a big temper, it is recommended not to reduce the amount too much at once, but step by step, or choose a feeding basin with an inward opening.

What's the point of keeping three parrots? 2. Selection of parrot cages

Usually kept in iron cages, not bamboo cages or wooden cages, because bamboo cages and wooden cages are easy to be chewed up and birds are easy to escape, so it is appropriate to keep them in large cages. If it is used for breeding, a breeding cage can be used, and the breeding cage can be made of metal wires, all of which are 65cm×60cm×50cm. The nest box is made of two layers of wooden boards, 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. The shoulder of the nest box can be covered with sawdust to facilitate the centralized hatching of eggs. The gypsum nest box is stable and not easy to shake, giving birds a sense of security.

2, preparing a parrot feed formula

Artificial breeding of parrots, the feed is completely prepared according to the feeding habits and nutritional value of parrots, such as energy feed millet and egg millet; Protein feed such as bone meal and cuttlefish bone; Vitamin feed such as leaves and wild vegetables; There are also some vitamins, minerals and so on. When the parrot has adapted to the compound feed, the breeder should not change it easily, and it is no longer suitable for feeding a single feed, otherwise it will affect the digestion and absorption of the parrot, resulting in loss of appetite and thus affecting the growth of the parrot.

Parrot feed preparation has certain know-how. You can't feed whatever you want, but you should mix a variety of feeds reasonably. Egg-wrapped rice: 1 kg millet and 4 egg yolks are stirred, and the dosage is generally 40% of the total feed.

Rice: Rice with rice husk is the best. Parrots like to eat rice husk, which can supplement starch, protein, trace elements and vitamins, and increase the chewing ability of beaks. The dosage generally accounts for 30% of the total feed. Millet: generally accounts for 10%- 15% of the total feed. The rest can be fed to hemp seed, barnyard grass, melon seeds, etc. According to practical experience, it is better to feed 10-20 raw melon seeds every day.

Third, the feeding and management of young parrots

Parrots are fed by female parrots from hatching to 38 days old. The feeding method is that the male parrot feeds the female parrot, and the female parrot feeds the young parrot. So I won't elaborate on the breeding of young parrots. Since parrots are fed by their mothers, naturally we should be more careful in the management of raising parrots.

Fourthly, the management of raising parrots.

Speaking of the management of raising parrots, let's first look at their breeding density and see how much space each parrot needs to live freely.

Fifth, the reproductive density of parrots

A parrot enjoys the treatment of living in a single room, that is, a pair of parrots are kept in a cage. If they have offspring, the family lives together in a cage. This living condition is to make a parrot better courtship and reproduction.

Regularly clean and disinfect the bird cages of parrots to prevent them from getting sick, choose suitable food for parrots, ensure that they have an adequate and balanced diet to enhance their physique, and observe the state of parrots more. When they are in a mental state and have a bad appetite, they may be prompted that they have diseases and need timely treatment.

When the weather is hot in summer, we should pay attention to raising parrots, so as to cool off the heat and prevent exposure to the sun. You can give them a bath or proper air blowing, change their utensils and drink water frequently, and reduce the breeding of bacteria and fungi in summer. It is suggested to feed less greasy food, such as rape, and eat more fruits and vegetables appropriately to prevent getting angry in hot summer.

When feeding in winter, it is also necessary to provide heating facilities to ensure the temperature of the feeding environment. Generally speaking, it is necessary to prepare a wooden incubator in winter, and install ceramic heating lamps and spotlights at the top to ensure the temperature control in the incubator. Generally controlled at 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, 24 degrees Celsius is the most suitable temperature. Under the condition of keeping the temperature of the feeding environment constant, the temperature should be reduced and the parrot should be taken out for interaction to prevent the temperature difference from being too large for the parrot.

1. The situation of parrots is different every season, so we should make some preparations. Spring is the breeding season of parrots, so it is necessary to increase some hemp seeds in moderation and feed some fruits and vegetables every day to increase nutrition; Summer is a hot season. At this time, it is necessary to keep indoor ventilation and cooling.

Parrots are afraid of heat in summer and often give them water and a bath. Autumn is the season for parrots to molt, so it is necessary to appropriately increase the weight of some hemp seeds and sunflower seeds and feed some fruits and vegetables every day; To keep warm indoors in winter, it is necessary to supplement some nutrients such as egg yolk, vegetables, fruits and hemp seeds to raise chickens.

2. Parrots need uninterrupted water supply every day. Grains with shells are more nutritious than those without shells. Parrots should always feed some fruits and vegetables to ensure the required nutrition. Parrots love to take a bath, so put a jar. Reduce the number of baths when the weather is cold; When the temperature is above 20 degrees, you can increase the number of baths.

3. Management of molting period. This period is more important for parrots. We should take down the nest box to restore the parrot's strength. The molting period is the time when parrots are weak and need to be supplemented with more nutrients such as hemp seeds, vegetables, fruits and other foods.
