Ecology: Habitat in hills, plain bushes, farmland and other places. Group activities. The songs are deep, but clear, with four or five songs sung in succession every time. I often stand in singing in the trees, and sometimes I flutter my wings. Feeding on plant seeds and insects. The breeding period is from March to 10. Nest in trees or bushes. The bird's nest consists of bamboo leaves, pine needles, hay and brown silk. The nest is like a curved neck, with the entrance and exit protruding from the side in a neck shape. Each nest lays 4 ~ 7 eggs. Eggs are pure white, and males and females hatch eggs together. The incubation period is 14 days. The brooding period is about 1 month.

Feeding: easy to feed and breed, suitable for novice birds. Choose bamboo cages such as canary cage and yellowbird cage, and each cage can keep 3 ~ 4 birds. Cages for breeding and breeding. The length and width of the cage are 36 cm and the height is 45 cm. There is a cauldron-shaped nest made of straw, which contains act young hay, brown silk, bamboo leaves, soft grass, cotton and other nest materials. When placing the pot, the spout should be slightly upward and fixed on the frame. Male and female birds will share the grass to nest. Use small pots and kettles to prevent water from overflowing. Eat coarse grains, 6 parts of barnyard grass and 4 parts of millet. Or 60% barnyard grass, 30% millet and 10% millet, or 50% barnyard grass, 30% millet and 10% millet. During breeding, spawning and brooding, eggs and rice should be given or a little egg yolk and vegetables should be fed. Large particles of oyster shell powder should be fully supplied. High-protein food or insects should be added when molting. Pay attention to keep vegetables fresh, spread sand or soil at the bottom of the cage and change them frequently. The white-waisted wenbird has a large activity and a large consumption of feed, so it should be added frequently, and the feed should not go bad and moldy. White-waisted wenbirds like water baths. When the weather is warm, take a bath 1 time after 9 am every day. Fill the bathtub with clean water, put the cage in and let it play in the water by itself. The white-waisted wenbird will come to play in the water immediately after seeing it. If the white-waisted bird doesn't like taking a bath, it may be sick. Pay attention to take out the water tank and replace it with fresh water when taking a bath. In addition, parents can't take a bath during hatching and brooding, because it will have a bad influence on chicks. Birds should be strong and lively. Male and female birds have similar feather colors, but their songs are different. The male bird can make a strong "batch-batch-batch" call, while the female bird makes a dumb "tweet-mile, tweet-mile" call. Male and female birds are kept in the same cage. After 2 ~ 3 days, they began to build nests with grass. After 4 ~ 5 days, the first egg will be laid, with 3 eggs in each nest, with a maximum of 7 ~ 8 eggs. It usually hatches in 14 days. Hatching eggs mainly depends on females, and when females leave the nest to eat, they are hatched by males. Eggs can be detected in 5 ~ 7 days after hatching, and unfertilized eggs can be taken out in time, which can reduce the physical consumption of breeding birds and improve the hatching rate. Several broods of fertilized eggs (no more than 7 in total) can be gathered together and hatched by a pair of parent birds, so that other birds can continue to lay eggs. This operation improves the use efficiency of parent birds. The breeding season of white-waisted albatross is not strong, and it can breed all year round except molting. The white-waisted wenbird is strong and strong in nesting, and can be used as a nesting bird for senior ornamental birds. During incubation and brooding, do not easily move breeding cages and nesting boxes. After the chicks hatch, they are featherless at first. After 10 ~ 15 days, I was covered with feathers. After 20 days, they can play outside the nest. If the chicks go out to play and don't know how to get home, they need artificial assistance to put them back in the nest to avoid freezing or starving. Chickens over 30 days old began to live independently and reached sexual maturity at 4 months old. The wenbird can be domesticated as a hand-playing bird. Domestic birds will not fly away if they open their cages at will.
