1. Swallows need spacious cages. Unlike other birds, swallows need bigger cages because they need to fly and spread their wings in cages. The cage should have 2-3 legs for the swallows to rest and sleep.
2. Provide enough food and water. Swallows are usually seed-eaters, so we should provide them with diversified seeds, such as millet, oats, pull rods, basic pockmarked seeds and sunflower seeds. At the same time, make sure that the water in the water dispenser is always sufficient and kept clean.
3. Keep the cage clean. Swallow droppings are easy to breed bacteria. By regularly changing food trays and cleaning up feces, the hygiene of cages and the health of swallows can be maintained.
4. Provide appropriate temperature and humidity. Swallows are tropical rain forest birds and need suitable temperature and humidity. Generally speaking, the temperature should be between 25-30 degrees Celsius and the humidity between 50-70%.
5. Provide enough sunshine and sleep time. Swallows need plenty of sunshine, preferably 3-4 hours a day. In addition, swallows also need enough sleep time, usually need to rest around 10 in the evening and start activities at 6 am the next day.
In a word, swallows are favored by people for their graceful flying and crisp sound, but the breeding of swallows also needs to pay attention to many details. Only by knowing these details can swallows live healthily and happily in your home.
