1. Chicken feeding
I like to chop the live Monopterus albus with bones, and mix it with bean powder and egg yolk (if the chicks are on fire, you can also chop a proper amount of green leaves and add some trace elements to the food), and the ratio is 3:3:3:0.5:0.5. Chickens fed in this way grow fast, are big and have good coat color. . . . . . When the tail is longer and you start pecking yourself, you can put it on the shelf. One thing to say here is that tits usually talk earlier than tree finches. Put thin food on it and let it peck by itself. Pay attention to the birds at this time, and it is best not to go directly into the cage. Because of the activities of birds, the desire to practice flying is very strong. They often run up and down in cages, and sometimes they can look up and even somersault when they are in a hurry. Once the sparrow looks up, it can't be changed, and neither can the chicks; Moreover, at this time, if the newly grown tail feather wings are left in the cage, it is easy to be destroyed, which will affect the appearance and the normal development of birds. At that time, it will be too late to regret. It can restrain its movement on the shelf, and it does not hinder the owner from establishing feelings with the bird, so that the bird can adapt to the surrounding environment and form good habits before entering the cage. Especially those birds who like to put their heads up on the shelf, they should be tied up for a while. Once the bird is found to have moved into the cage, put it on the shelf. Of course, some friends go straight into the cage, but they will block the horizontal wire at the top of the cage to avoid being caught by birds. This method is also acceptable. Anyway, if you don't want it to be free, try to let the chicks fly outside as little as possible.
Little sparrow (male) starts to eat by himself and talks to himself every morning (sometimes he can be seen dozing off with his eyes closed during the day, but his throat is fluctuating, his voice is not high, but he can hear). At this time, you can let the young bird listen to the chirping of other birds and let him learn, so that after molting, your sparrow will be good at chirping. Of course, I find it hard for sparrows to learn to eat birds (hibiscus, yellowbird. . ) larks and embroidered eyes can call each other, but it is not realistic to make them call like indigo.
Set aside a certain time every day to get in touch with young birds and feed them by hand, so that they can form the habit of their loved ones. After birds feed themselves, they gradually reduce the number and frequency of feeding insects, and take them out for a walk when they have time, mainly to adapt them to the external environment and cultivate their habit of being lively and not chaotic when they see strange things. Otherwise, your bird sings well at home, just go out.
If possible, I will try to keep the bird in a cage, because there is no restraint in it, and I can dance on the stage when I am sexually active. Although you can dance in a cage, there are many restrictions and the duration is not long. Because of the problem of caging, most sparrows seen in the bird market have been raised on shelves.
2. Feeding raw wool
The bird that just entered the cage is wild, so you can feed the millet for a few more days. Bird food with high nutritional content tends to make birds more sexual. They will either break their heads or start to turn yellow. So many people don't care about this. As soon as they enter the cage, they try their best to supplement the nutrition for the birds. After feeding for a period of time, they often find that the toes of birds begin to swell and the corners of their mouths turn yellow.
At this time, the raw birds can be watered once or twice a day (not afraid of catching cold in July and August, but not too wet). After 10 days, they can change eggs and millet into staple foods. I usually fry millet with two egg yolks, so don't cook the food too hard before molting. ) Perilla can be fed, but sparrows don't like it. At first, birds may not eat it. It doesn't matter, it's a long way to reduce rice. Always hang green in a cage.
Sparrows are a kind of love, especially when raw birds have been jumping around in cages. If there is no water, birds will lose weight because of insufficient nutrition, and even die seriously. It is best to cover the top horizontal line with a layer of cage clothes to prevent birds from scratching, thus forming the habit of moving under the cage and providing it with a relatively quiet environment. I don't think it's necessary to walk the bird before changing the original hair. As long as you bathe it every day and replenish fresh water, you can give it a quiet environment to gain weight and will soon start molting. (The biological function of wild birds that have just entered cages is disrupted, and it is more likely to lead to the disorder of their physiological cycle when they are frightened outdoors, which often shows that they don't change their hair or change their hair abnormally, which often happens until the end of 1 1. At this time, you can let the birds listen to other birds every morning. The original fur can learn to bark a little, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of the chicks. One more thing to note is that at this time, raw birds must not be hung high, but should be lowered at ordinary times. I just put it underground, and I can't put other birds or its kind on its cage, so I want to look up! It's best to keep two, because sparrows like to live in groups. A solitary bird will be very excited when he hears the sparrow's voice outside, jumping around in the cage and moving freely! Generally, it is safer to raise two, and at least one can be produced. When you start molting, you should feed more vegetables, add a powder jar to the cage, add egg yolk and appropriate fish meal, bone meal and soybean meal. By the time you feed a few live bugs every day, your bird should start chatting every morning. You can't be lazy when its hair has been basically changed and there are still a few tail feathers left. You should walk the bird every morning. Because the bird consumes a lot of body when changing its hair, its sex hormone level is relatively low and its temperament is better at this time. Moreover, the cage has been basically closed after feeding for one season, and this time is the most suitable time to train it. It is not good to be late or leave early. At this time, the bird will have an obvious change, and the color of its legs and toes will change from dark gray to yellow or flesh.
When you start walking the bird, you should first hold the cage and pay attention to the reflection of the bird in the cage. I must have jumped badly a day or two ago, but it doesn't matter as long as I don't move up. Generally, it lasts about 65,438+00 days. The bird gradually gets used to its surroundings, is held in its hand, and begins to speak on the stage. At this time, you can hold the bottom of the cage instead, first low and then high, so that your sparrow can be kept there and bark there for more than a month. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! In addition to being happy at this time, many people will envy you. You know, the success rate of sparrow reproduction is very low. Take Nanjing as an example. Every year, there are nearly 1000 raw chickens in the market. Except for the mother bird, all the others were picked, and only three or two survived after molting in autumn.
Once your bird is "fixed", you don't have to walk it every day, just once or twice a week. At this time, the birds are also addicted to going out to play. After going out, they either shouted loudly, or climbed onto the stage to loosen their belts and looked around, which was very comfortable.
I usually feed sparrows with eggs, millet, a little millet, perilla and millet. Vegetables are indispensable for normal feeding. Proper sunbathing is also very important for the health of birds, so I won't say much here.
Near spring, you can increase the proportion of egg yolk in food (millet with a half-water bottle cap and two egg yolks) to prepare for the sexual dance of birds. You can feed some live bugs, but bugs get angry easily, so don't feed them too much. If you find that your sparrows only eat insects, others don't eat much and don't like to move, then you must pay attention, otherwise the birds will lose weight and be very dangerous at this time.
Generally speaking, after beginning of spring, a bird's beak will turn black and its red back will be brighter. At this time it will bark from morning till night. If it sees sparrows around, it will immediately start its own dance, jumping and screaming, which is very beautiful. It's more interesting if two birds jump in pairs, but if both birds are shut up, don't get too close, otherwise the birds will be very serious and often fly around with feathers.
I want to remind you that after a bird has sex in spring, don't "suffocate" it, let alone think that the bird won't move again. At this time, it can rush out as soon as it is anxious! This is what I have suffered. If you have time to walk the bird in spring, don't always leave the bird in a dark place at home if you don't have time!
Sparrows come to take a sand bath, thinking that your bird's fur is fine, so give it a bath. Interestingly, the sparrow often takes a bath and washes the sand, watching it roll in the sand, and then squatting on the stage in the sun, loosening his belt and combing his hair. This is a kind of enjoyment. . . . . . Birds usually take a bath every three days, and every day in summer. Pay attention to the hygiene of the cage. Nanjing likes to lay a layer of red soil on the bottom of the cage and clean it up two or three times a week.
As for the coat color of tits, I have never tried to add pigment to feed in breeding, and it is hard to say how much influence pigment can have on coat color now. Interested friends can try it. But sparrows fed with egg yolk millet for a long time will definitely be redder than those in the wild. The general color is sauce red, and wild birds are generally wine red in spring.
Sparrows have high IQ and quick action. They often take advantage of the gap between bathing in the cage to escape, so remind everyone not to be confused by the illusion of honesty in the service cage.
