food
Supplementary foods-pockmarked seeds 2 days/time in winter, corn stigma 2 days/time, buckwheat 1 day/time, oat 1 day/time, rape 10 day/time, black rice 3 days/time in winter, and black sesame 14 day/time.
The ratio of complementary food to staple food is 1: 8.
Adding glucose powder to water at ordinary times can enhance the resistance of birds and prevent them from getting sick.
Adding health sand, cuttlefish bone, AD3, eggshell and oatmeal to food can make birds stronger.
The staple food-millet [is rich in nutrition, you can sell it in a bird shop, or ask the owner of a grain and oil shop in the market to bring it for you, which will be cheaper. The one without shell is called Xiaomi. Although it will not be bitten out by tiger skin like millet, it is easy to clean, but the nutrition is not as good as millet. ] —— Add 1/5 granules of oxytetracycline once a month.
Egg shell [this is a must. When eating eggs at home, you can leave the shells, raw eggs and cooked eggs without breaking them. Put them in a birdcage. Supplementing calcium substances and serving as toys. It can effectively prevent tiger skin from laying soft-shelled eggs that can't hatch birds in the future. ] 1 day/time
Cuttlebone [also known as cuttlefish bone. You can find it in a Chinese medicine shop. Super cheap. Seafood stalls in the vegetable market can also be found, but it is best to soak the cuttlefish bones in the seafood stalls for a day, then dry them and put them in cages. You don't need to break it, just put it in tiger skin and chew it yourself. When the cuttlefish bone just chews a little and falls out of the cage, it can be broken with pliers and mixed with millet to avoid waste. Many people think it is used to supplement calcium, but I personally think that protein should be supplemented in addition to calcium supplement. ] 1 day/time
Don't give too much rice Five or six capsules a day is enough to supplement carbohydrates. ]
Health sand [promotes digestion, and then supplements various minerals and trace elements. There are both bird markets and pigeon shops. It's OK to mix and eat. ] 3 days/time
Coal ash is honeycomb coal after combustion. This thing is a treasure. Can be used as a toy, a tiger skin crawler, and can supplement various minerals and trace elements. Of course, it is undeniable that this thing has been chewed out with a lot of ash, which is more difficult to clean up. ]
Lycium barbarum [one or two capsules a month, crushed and mixed in food. Adding necessary inorganic salts, calcium, phosphorus, iron and minerals are not necessary. Supplementing protein, sugar, fat and vitamins to increase the color of bird feathers can promote growth, improve the body's disease resistance, and thus prolong vitality. ]
Green vegetables [as long as they are not pears or spinach. Other common fruits and vegetables can be fed to tiger skins, usually once every two to three days, and placed directly in cages for them to chew. ] 2 days/time
It is recommended to change the water more than once a day, at least once a day. Clean drinking water can greatly reduce the incidence of tiger skin. Add half a spoonful of glucose powder every two days.
AD3 【 Promote calcium absorption, supplement calcium, promote bone development, and effectively avoid rickets and soft eggs. ]
Multi-dimensional solution 【 Supplementing multi-vitamins, improving disease resistance and brightening feathers. But also can promote reproduction. ]
Remember, tiger skin must not feed eggs and millet, which has great adverse effects on future generations.
prison
Budgerigars have hooks in their mouths, are strong and like to chew wood, so they can't be kept in bamboo cages, but only in metal cages. And fixed at the entrance and exit of the cage door to prevent escape. The domestic environment is not suitable for budgerigar to survive in the wild, so when your pet bird escapes into the wild, 80% will end in death. Don't fantasize about what can settle and breed in the wild. As a leisure ornamental bird, it can be kept in a small electroplating metal cage with perches and rings for parrots to play with.
temperature
Pay attention to keep warm in winter, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 5℃. The temperature is high in summer, and ventilation should be strengthened above 30℃. Budgerigars like to eat feed with shells. Usually, millet, barnyard grass and millet should be given priority to, and vegetables should be fed once a week. Oyster powder/bone powder/cuttlefish bone, AD3, grinding liquid multivitamin, cod liver oil powder and healthy red soil should be used as standing feed.
sexism
1) male and female identification method of tiger skin chicks: male: the wax film is all pink; Woman: There is a circle of white around the nostrils.
2) Male and female identification method of tiger skin middle-aged birds: male: the color of wax film is pink or blue according to different species; Female bird: The nostrils are white and the outside is extremely light blue.
3) Identification method of male and female tiger skin adults: male: according to different species, some wax films are blue and some are pink-purple, while female: according to different species, some wax films are white and some wax films are wrinkled brown (that means that female birds are in estrus).
Domestication method
Method one
Regular contact training, this method requires patience. This method includes talking to your budgerigar often and calming them down in a gentle tone. Slowly put your hand into the cage until the bird stops running. In the previous few times, you shouldn't reach out to catch them or move in front of them excitedly. Give them some time to get used to your hands. When it is no longer afraid, you can put your finger close to its abdomen, like a perch, to see if they will stand up. Remember to say "come up" when your finger gently touches its abdomen. When you want them to return to their cages and habitats, you should say "go down". When it is in your hand, keep talking to him. Don't be too eager when you take it out of the cage for the first time. In these initial trainings, the training time should be as short as possible. With the increase of training times, you can also slowly lengthen the time, and finally you can have a budgerigar friend who believes in you.

The second way is to let them have their own time. Don't try to touch them with your hands in the first few days when they get home. Give them some time to adapt to the new environment and home, and put the cage in your usual place. You need to spend a lot of time with them, try to talk to them, and only put your hands near the cage when changing water or fresh food. Try to let the birds know that everything you do is for their own good and you don't want to hurt them. In that case, it may take some time to make them willing to come out to you. You can lure them out by putting shells or bird snacks outside the cage. Or put these bribes in your hands, use cages or lure them from the outside. Finally, he will have full confidence in you and become your friend.
Method 3: Repeatedly grasp and release. Take the budgerigar to another room without a cage. Catch it and put it again and again, and the budgerigar will soon know that you won't hurt it. Continue this training for about half an hour, and then take it back to the cage.
Method 4 Melanie's intensive training method. This method must be very careful. When you hold a tiger skin in your hand, make sure that your hand is not too tight, otherwise it may cause the bird to suffocate. Although some tiger skins have been tamed by this method, there are still many tiger skins that have not responded well to this method and will even become more difficult to gain their trust in the future. Grab a new tiger skin with your hand, and be careful that it will try to bite your finger. If you don't drive, you will carry its body all the way home. Or hold it for half an hour at a time, at least five times on the first day, and don't let it get away. If there is a bite, grab its mouth. This method can make them bite without too much effort and don't want to run away.
disease
Because most parrots kept as pets have been trapped in cages with small space for a long time, they have no chance to fly, which leads to insufficient exercise. In addition, it is difficult to achieve a balanced nutrition by eating only the food ordered by the owner. Compared with their wild counterparts, their constitutions are naturally poor.
If we don't manage it well, such as malnutrition, uneven hunger, drinking water pollution and bacteria accumulation in cages, it will directly lead to birds getting sick. As we all know, the diagnosis and treatment of sick birds are very difficult. In addition to accurately judging symptoms, mastering the dosage of drugs is also a profound knowledge! Because most of the drugs used to treat bacterial infections at present are antibiotics, if the dose is large, the sick birds will die immediately if they can't accept it! The dose is too light, which can not completely destroy bacteria and produce drug resistance; It will be more difficult to cure this disease. In addition, generally sick parrots don't eat or drink, and their energy in the body is limited, so they can't directly replenish energy from veins. Therefore, if we don't observe them carefully on weekdays and don't master their basic physiological constants. It is often after a period of illness that I know I am ill. Delayed treatment is even worse for sick birds!
Based on the above reasons, we'd better do all kinds of feeding management every day to enhance the bird's physique and reduce the chance of illness. Common diseases of parrots can be divided into respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, nutritional diseases and parasitic infections.
I. Respiratory diseases
Causes and symptoms
(1) RZ-like cold: it is mainly caused by wind-cold, and recent studies have also found that it can be caused by viruses. The sick bird looks listless, standing on the perch, with shortness of breath and falling feathers; When you are seriously ill, your nostrils will be blocked by mucus, and you will open your mouth and breathe.
Prevention and treatment: first put the sick bird in a warm place to avoid blowing. Egg yolk powder is added to sick poultry feed, and long-acting sulfanilamide is added to drinking water. Every 10ml of drinking water, add110 tablets, and change them twice a day. If the nostrils are blocked, the toilet paper can be kneaded into small strips, inserted into the nostrils to wring out mucus, and some vegetable oil can be stuffed into the nostrils with paper strips; Let it breathe smoothly. wz*iwd-
(2) pneumonia 6 AGZ) gram x
Causes and symptoms: birds will get pneumonia if they don't pay attention to heat preservation and timely treatment after catching a cold, or if they suffer from cold for a long time. Sick birds look dull, often stick their heads under their wings and their feathers stand upright; Its body shape is spherical. Shortness of breath, body ups and downs with breathing, no appetite; The mortality rate is high!
Prevention and control methods: try to move sick birds to warm and dark places, and pay attention to the warmth of their sick birds. Drop 25% glucose water, 0.5ml each time–1ml. Add oxytetracycline 2-4 mg into glucose water twice a day for 5 days to complete a course of treatment. Early detection and treatment can be cured.
Two. Gastrointestinal diseases [1] J
(1) enteritis
Causes and symptoms: caused by unclean feed or drinking water. Generally, there will be listlessness after infection, and sometimes there will be defecation, and the feces will be sticky and will stick near * *. In severe cases, there will be blood in the stool, and the weight of sick birds will drop quickly and lose weight.
