What is the breeding method of yellowbird?

Yellowbird is a caged bird in the north, especially in Beijing, and has a lot of breeding. Because it is easy to tame and save trouble, I sing all day except molting, and I can sing for up to 8 months every year. It is generally believed that narrow mouth, long waist and long tail are suitable for singing. Some also choose according to the color of the lower body feathers, including cyan, white and yellow. Others like red feet (commonly known as "red claws") or red head, red neck and red chest. In fact, these colors are all related to food. Generally, yellowbirds in nature have black feet. After artificial breeding for a period of time, it becomes flesh-colored. The yellowbird feathers that migrate in spring are often red, but they disappear as soon as they molt. The reason is not clear.

It is easy to distinguish the male from the female of an adult yellowbird. Male birds are strong and yellow-green, rarely have dry feathers, and have black spots on their heads or chin. However, it is difficult to distinguish male chicks from female adults who have just left the nest. This young bird, commonly known as "Ma Bird", is the most cherished in bird people. The price is 2 ~ 3 times higher than that of male adult birds. On the one hand, the young bird is easy to train, and on the other hand, it has just left the nest and has not learned the singing of the old bird, that is, it has no "wild mouth".

When the yellow bird migrates in spring and autumn, it crosses northern China twice a year. Often caught, it is easy to raise and tame. There are many kinds of yellowbird cages, but the lacquer bamboo round cage is the most exquisite one. The bottom should be closed and covered with a thin cloth pad, because its staple food powder or dry powder feces are few and dry, which is not easy to pollute the bottom of the cage. There should also be a higher bottom ring to prevent granular shells from flying around and birds from spoiling food. In order to teach skills, or to be a "trap", some people keep female yellowbirds on shelves, mostly upright.

Yellowbird mainly eats conifer seeds in the wild, so it likes to eat seeds of oil crops such as perilla, peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds at home. The yellowbird just caught can be lured by perilla, but it can't be fed for a long time, otherwise it will be overweight. Generally, millet, millet, barnyard grass and a small amount of perilla are mixed. When the yellowbird eats, it often picks perilla to eat, and all other seeds are picked out, resulting in waste. It is best to feed mixed powder. Corn, peanuts and perilla (3: 1: 1) can be ground into powder, and a small amount of sand is added, which is often given to leafy vegetables (Chinese cabbage, spinach, rape and purslane). In addition, eggs and millet are also fed, but some seeds of oil crops need to be fed in winter.

Among caged birds, it is most convenient to raise yellowbird. Management only needs to ensure that the water is sufficient and fresh, and clean the cage 1 ~ 2 times a week. The yellowbird is often basked in autumn, winter and spring, and the cage is hung in a cool place in summer. Give leafy vegetables and add perilla when molting. The yellowbird's feathers change quickly, "open" early, and the feathers are silvery gray, which looks very beautiful.

Beijing has strict requirements on the singing of yellowbird. Pay attention to the "three big mouths", namely magpie and oil gourd. If there are other birds' calls, they are often considered as "miscellaneous", especially the calls of peaceful birds, goldfinches and finches are taboo. So it is very difficult to cultivate a real "three-mouthed" yellowbird. In addition to getting a "hemp bird" and strictly isolating it, we should often get up early, get into a small cage and take a walk in the Woods where gray magpies live. Hide in the schoolbag on the way, take it out when you hear the gray magpie, and open the cage. It takes two weeks or more to learn. Let them learn to call you gourd mouth. Generally, you keep oil gourd at home. In the evening, the oil gourd likes to sing, so he puts the yellowbird under the lamp to listen.

As for the technique of yellowbird, it is nothing more than simple actions such as "calling far", "ringing the bell" and "drawing lots" (commonly used by fortune tellers in the past), all of which are simple conditioned reflex induced by perilla. The breeding problem of yellow birds in artificial breeding should attract wide attention of bird lovers. Artificial breeding can get satisfactory "hemp birds", which does not need to be caught in the wild and is also conducive to protecting natural populations. If the breeding has been successful in a few days, you must first raise several pairs in a big cage, and after careful observation, you will find that there are close couples. Put them in the breeding cage and put them in grass nests, and it is possible to lay eggs.
