How to raise, feed and prepare peony parrot chicks for more than 20 days, and ask for an experienced answer, thank you.

For peony parrot chicks born more than 20 days ago, their food generally comes from the mother bird's anti-food. However, many families have started to raise birds by hand and have little experience in raising young birds. They don't know how to feed them. Here are some practical ways for pet owners:

First, choose milk powder.

Birds eat whole grains, peony parrot chicks naturally need to eat them, but their intestines and stomach are not fully developed, so it is not suitable to eat whole grains. Generally, they eat milk powder ground from grains, just like parrot milk powder such as Yin Ge milk powder, which is more suitable for young birds' physique. Don't give parrot chicks milk powder from other pets to avoid some uncomfortable symptoms, and don't give them raw vegetables, which is easy to have diarrhea. However, there are also some pet owners who make milk powder for peony parrot chicks. Self-made milk powder is more troublesome, and the formula and dosage are more particular and difficult to control.

Second, milk powder

When mixing milk powder, the ratio of milk powder to water is generally 1:2.5. Add water first, then milk powder, and stir slowly. In addition, a thermometer can be prepared, because when feeding milk powder, the water temperature is preferably 38 ~ 40℃. When the temperature is low, the milk powder can't be completely soaked, and parrots are prone to indigestion.

When it exceeds 42℃, it is easy to burn the crop of the parrot, making it unable to eat and die. The concentration of milk powder can be adjusted according to the age of parrots. The younger the parrot, the thinner it is. Too thick milk powder will lead to indigestion of young birds, emptying crops, fermenting internal food and forming crop inflammation.

Third, feed milk powder.

Feeding parrots can use a "special spoon" for young birds, which is different from ordinary spoons in shape, but imitates the beak shape of parent birds, so that young birds can easily enter their mouths when eating liquid without flowing out from the surroundings. When feeding, gently hold the baby bird's head and fix it, then put the spoon close to the baby bird's beak, and the parrot will take the initiative to ask for food. It is recommended not to take needles to feed, it is easy to choke. Pay attention to cleaning the parrot's mouth after feeding. When the crop of the parrot is 7-8 minutes full, stop feeding and do not force irrigation, otherwise it will cause the parrot to vomit and cause other symptoms.

I hope the above methods are helpful to pet owners, and I also wish the parrots in pet owners' homes healthy growth.
