Basic skills of how to raise yellowbird.

Yellowbirds are easy to raise and are very popular with bird friends. Are there any skills to raise yellowbird? The following are the breeding skills of yellowbird that I have carefully arranged for you. Let's have a look.

Foraging skills of yellowbird

Is it important to raise yellowbird in the north? Three big mouths? Not many people here in Nanjing know and pay attention to it. Anyone who insists on listening should be smart and learn quickly. Here, I mainly want to talk about some specific methods of practicing hand-hitting yellowbird, and everyone criticizes and corrects me.

Required items: a cage (equipped with a water tank jumper), a wooden stick (about 1 cm in diameter and 30-40 cm in length), 3 meters of white thread for sole, and several centimeters of copper wire.

The yellowbird you just bought must be trained first? Settings? That is, tie a white thread around the neck and a closed 8-shaped copper buckle on the neck buckle. Pay attention to make the copper buckle as small as possible, because it will take a long time once it is tied around the neck, so the weight should be small. Put it on and put it in a cage. It will be uncomfortable for two or three days, and then it will be fine. At the same time, one end of the wooden stick is tied with a white line, and the other end of the white line is tied with an open 8-shaped copper buckle. Note that the opening should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the copper wire, and the closed 8-shaped copper buckle around the bird's neck should be fastened firmly, so that the bird can be tied to a wooden stick or put back into the cage conveniently.

Yellowbird is picky about food, and it can be fed with flour every day: corn flour+mung bean powder+a little sesame powder+a little egg yolk+a little eggshell+vegetable leaves. Don't feed perilla directly at ordinary times, only during training, so the temptation of perilla will be greater and the training effect will be better.

After the bird gets used to lasso, take out the food in the trough, starve for 6 or 7 hours, tie the bird to a stick, and then start the news. No matter what program you play in the end, you must strike first. Eat flying food? Here we go. So-called? Eat flying food? Is to let the birds fly down from the stick and eat the perilla in their hands.

Clever yellowbird can eat flying food in two or three days. But the training should be gradual. First, the hungry bird was lured by perilla after standing on a stick. At first, the interval was relatively close, and then the interval was gradually opened until he dared to fall on his hand and eat. Then he began to shake his hand to prevent him from falling on his hand and fly directly to eat food. Be sure to fly back to the stick after eating the food in your hand. Do you want him to do this? Know each other? That stick. In addition, you can also prepare a gourd (perilla can be put in the gourd), tie a bell around the waist of the gourd with a red rope, and shake the gourd before eating a perilla to establish a conditioned reflex. The shape of the gourd, the red rope and the sound of the bell will stimulate him. After a long time, you can put it outdoors and ring the bell to fly back.

In fact, yellowbird can also play many other programs, all of which are based on perilla and set conditioned reflex. As for what else to play, it depends on your imagination and patience.

Key points of breeding yellow birds

Bird selection

In the north, especially in China, yellowbird is a caged bird. It is loved by people because of its bright feathers, graceful posture, euphemistic singing and easy domestication. In addition to molting, it sings all day, which can last 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 claw. ) or the head, neck and chest are all dyed red. In fact, these colors are all related to food. In general, yellowbirds in nature are all black-footed, and become flesh-colored after being artificially raised for a period of time. The yellowbird feathers that have been active 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. What is the common name of this little yellowbird? Horse bird? , is bird people's most cherished. The price is 2% higher than that of male adult birds? Three times. On the one hand, the young bird is easy to train, on the other hand, it has just left the nest and has not learned the singing of the old bird, that is, it can't? Noguchi? .

Bird cage characteristics

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 it has less staple food powder or dry powder feces, 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. Teach skills, or do it? Xunzi? Some people keep the female yellowbird on a shelf, most of which are straight.

Feed feeding method

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.

Management training

Beijing has strict requirements on the singing of yellowbird. Is it particular? Three big mouths? , that is, magpies and oil gourd. If it is mixed with the songs of other birds, it is often considered as? In particular, noisy, peaceful birds, goldfinches and finches are taboo. So cultivate a real one? Three big mouths? Yellowbird is very difficult, except to get? Horse bird? And strictly isolated, you must often get up early and sneak into the cage to take a walk in the Woods where the gray magpie lives.

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 yellowbird's skill, it is nothing more than? Is it far by phone? 、? Ring the bell? 、? Draw lots? Simple actions such as (used for fortune telling) are all simple conditioned reflex induced by perilla. The breeding problem of yellow birds in artificial breeding should attract wide attention of bird lovers.

Can artificial reproduction be satisfactory? Horse bird? You don't have to go to the wild to catch it, which is also conducive to protecting natural populations. If it has been successfully bred in China, it is necessary to raise several pairs in a big cage first. After careful observation, it is found that there is intimate pairing. If you put it in a breeding cage and put it in a grass nest, you may lay eggs.

Breeding mode of yellowbird

The breeding area of yellowbird is very wide, from Europe to eastern Siberia and Japan, and it breeds in the north of Genhe River in Daxing 'anling and along Alongshan Mountain in China. When the yellowbird first arrives at the breeding area, the male bird immediately makes a pleasant call and is very active, often flying back and forth between branches or trees. Soon, the male spread his tail feathers, flapped his wings rapidly and chased the female.

Most of them nest on flat branches of pine trees or small trees under forests. The nest is very secluded and consists of cobwebs, fresh moss, wild silkworm cocoons, fine roots and fibers. Quite delicate, deep cup-shaped. The inner pad is made of fine fibers, animal hair, feathers and tidbits.
