The feeding of poultry should follow the scientific feed ratio, that is, find out the nutritional standards needed for the growth, development and normal reproduction of poultry, and formulate the feed formula according to this standard. The nutritional standard is the requirement and proportion of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals for poultry. In the process of raising birds, some pathological manifestations related to nutrition are often found. For example, emaciation, obesity, abnormal molting, convulsion caused by vitamin deficiency, laying thin-shell eggs or deformed eggs, etc. From the point of view of nutrition, we should fundamentally solve the problem by changing the feed formula.
The prevention and treatment of poultry diseases should focus on prevention, and cages should be disinfected frequently and necessary epidemic prevention measures should be taken. And in the process of feeding, we should always pay attention to the changes of food intake and feces, and observe whether their mental state, activities and rest posture are normal. If problems are found, please refer to the introduction of bird diseases on this site for early treatment.
In daily management, we should pay attention to the following points:
1, cleanliness: drinking utensils and bathtubs should be cleaned every day, feces should be cleaned in time, and food troughs should be cleaned regularly.
2, water bath: birds are a very clean animal, most birds like water bath. Water bath can remove dirt from birds, and it is also an exercise and enjoyment for birds, which is good for health. Therefore, to meet their beneficial instinctive requirements, let them take a bath every day or every other day.
3. Finishing of birds: Birds living in cages for a long time are prone to break their feathers, and their claws and beaks lose the opportunity to exercise due to lack of exercise, which leads to the growth of claws and beaks, or scales formed due to feces polluting feathers. These need to be sorted out by the breeder, so that the bird's body shape is symmetrical and beautiful, which meets the ornamental requirements.
I hope it works for you.
2. Which master bird keeper teaches some common sense about raising birds?
Bird Species: Fairy Eight-color Thrush Fairy Eight-color Thrush Bird Species Description: Medium-sized (20cm) and colorful eight-color Thrush.

Fairy thrush, a national second-class protected animal, is vulnerable all over the world. I suggest you release it. This kind of bird is difficult to keep.
3. Have common sense of raising birds.
Breeding of white jade bird
Feeding white jade birds, the feed is mainly cereals, preferably peeled millet with egg yolk, and you can also eat some green feed such as cabbage leaves and spinach leaves. August-September is the molting season. Add some oil crops such as perilla and rape, and increase the sunshine appropriately.
Canary can be kept in a square bamboo cage at home. The size of the cage can be determined according to the number of breeding, and it can generally move freely.
In the artificial breeding environment, the white jade birdcage should be slightly wider and need enough exercise. In addition to the breeding period, it is best to keep male and female adult birds in separate cages, and some species only need to keep 1 adult bird in each cage. 1~ July is the breeding season of white jade birds. At this time, male and female birds need to be kept in cages to mate and nest. The breeding cages of White birds are 46 cm (length) *30 cm (width) *35 cm (height). The bottom of the cage needs to be padded with fine sand for parents to peck at sand and bathe, which is beneficial to digestion and nutrition. There are enough perches at different heights in the cage, and the thickness of perches is better to stand firmly with bird toes.
Suitable drinking utensils are also needed in the cage. Cages used in non-breeding periods can be slightly smaller.
You can feed Baiyuniao mixed granules and mixed powder every day, and you need to feed enough green leafy vegetables and fruits every day. Hard fruits or root vegetables, such as carrots, can be sliced and sent to cages for pecking. During the breeding period of White birds, it is advisable to feed minerals such as shells and cuttlefish bones, which is beneficial to the spawning, hatching and development of young birds. Boiled eggs can also be added as appropriate during breeding and brooding. You can cut boiled eggs and eggshells in half and put them in cages to let them eat freely.
White birds like to be clean and often like to wash their feathers with clean water. Therefore, it is necessary to provide bath water every day or every other day according to the ambient temperature. If the conditions are limited, take at least 1 bath every week, which is good for health and stimulates appetite. It is advisable to rest in a warmer environment after each bath, and then move into a ventilated environment after the feathers are dry, otherwise it will often cause patients.
Sunlight is indispensable to the life of the white jade bird, but long-term strong light irradiation will also fade its gorgeous feathers. Rhona white jade bird, after a long period of direct exposure to strong light, showed excitement and high-pitched singing, and its singing became stiff and stiff. Therefore, it is best to spend 1~2 hours a day in soft sunshine, which is not suitable for exposure.
July ~165438+1October is the molting period of White birds every year. At this time, its constitution is very weak. If it is not properly raised, it will often lead to diseases or casualties. During this period, it is necessary to maintain a relatively balanced ambient temperature day and night; Avoid strong winds; Pay attention to the supply of nutritious and digestible feed, such as boiled eggs, vegetables, cuttlefish bones, etc. And the supply of white jade bird mixed powder is also very important.
Generally, white jade birds are raised at home, and often provide various foods at home, such as biscuits, steamed bread, fruit peels, stones, various vegetables and so on. In a word, there are many kinds of feed for white jade birds, which need a variety of rotation supply, which is conducive to health and reproduction.
Canary feed includes millet, millet, soybean, corn flour, corn-corn, dog tail millet, chopped vegetable leaves and so on. When feeding with millet, first wet the millet with water and steam it in water. When mating and molting, you can feed some cooked eggs and add some cakes or breadcrumbs when brooding. Usually eat raw and cooked millet, add bitter vegetables in spring, summer and autumn, and feed spinach in early spring and winter.
Breeding of white jade bird
Canaries generally start mating and breeding in April and May every year, and each nest can lay three or five eggs, and the young birds can hatch in about two weeks. After about four weeks, the chicks can feed themselves and leave the mother bird. A strong female bird can breed two or three nests every year.
The artificial nest of the white jade bird can be made of straw or bamboo filaments, which is shaped like a bowl, with an upper mouth diameter of 1 1 cm and a depth of 5 cm. Before the arrival of the breeding season, the artificial nest is hung in a suitable corner above the breeding cage, and at the same time, soft grass, short cotton wool, animal hair, bird feathers and fine fibers are supplied in the cage, so that the parent birds can freely choose the above nest padding materials to pad into the nest. Each nest lays 4~6 eggs, and the eggshell is light blue with reddish-brown and blue-brown spots. Generally speaking, the female will sit in the nest and hatch the eggs after giving birth to the first egg. In order to ensure that all nestlings hatch at the same time, the first batch of eggs need to be taken out and preserved. After the 4th to 5th eggs are laid, all the eggs will be sent to the nest for parents to hatch. The eggs taken out should be stored in a ventilated and cool place to prevent mosquito and fly pollution, and the suitable environmental temperature is 5 ~ 65438 05℃. The females hatch, and the incubation period is 14~ 16 days. Newborn chicks have closed their eyes, have no vision, and have only a few down feathers all over their bodies. After about three weeks of incubation, the chicks are full of feathers and begin to leave the nest for food.
In order to reduce the physical exertion caused by brooding fatigue, the chicks can be taken out 1 week after birth, and the chicks can be artificially kept warm, which is beneficial to the parents' recovery of physique and the re-spawning and hatching. Generally, parents can start mating and lay eggs again 2 weeks after the chicks are taken out. Newborn chicks begin to sing for courtship at the age of 6 months and breed at the age of 9~ 10 months.
Breeding white jade birds, male and female can only be caged in March ~ April. Male birds should be strong, loud, slightly larger than female birds, and should not be too close in blood. The cage is a special rectangular lantern. A nest made of bamboo or straw is hung at a distance of 10 cm from the top of the cage, and some hemp and cotton wool are added to facilitate spawning. Three branches with a diameter of 1 cm must be set in the cage, and the surface should be rough. When female birds nest with grass in their mouths, cuttlefish bones are added to the feed, and a steamed egg is added from the first day of hatching to increase the green feed. 1 month later, when the chicks can feed themselves, they can close the cage and need to add some egg yolks.
4. Is the bird "Ten Sisters" common?
The tenth sister is easy to raise, and her daily management is mainly to provide food and water. The temperature requirement is not high. As long as attention is paid to prevent sudden heat and quenching, birds will live and reproduce normally. The feed of the ten sisters is mainly grain, which can be matched with rice, millet, millet and barnyard grass according to the appropriate taste. Eggs, rice and vegetables can be added when laying eggs and brooding; Supplementing oyster shell powder and bone powder. Can be caged, made of bamboo or iron wire, and the size of a single cage is generally 60×40×50cm. The size of the Bird's Nest is 22x5x 13cm, and it has a wooden structure with a 4cm high partition in the middle, which divides the nest room into two small rooms, the inside and the outside. One end of the nest has a 5 cm circular air inlet and the other end has an air vent. In order to facilitate observation and cleaning, the upper panel and one side panel of the bird's nest should be made movable. In addition to installing a bird's nest at the back of the cage, it is also necessary to prepare a perch of 1, a water tank of 1 and a water tank of 1 in the cage. In the breeding cage, in addition to the necessary food, water tank and bath room, 1 perch must be installed near the cage door and nest box mouth.
Ten sisters like to take a bath. After 9 o'clock every day, they put clean bath water in the bath tray (small shallow basin), enlarge the cage and it will jump into the bathtub by itself. For people who don't like to take a bath, they can be suspected of having a disease.
raise
Male and female parents nest together; It takes 2~3 days to finish the work, the first egg is laid after 4~5 days, the second egg is laid on the sixth day, and the third egg is laid on the seventh day; Generally, 3~5 pieces are produced, with a maximum of 8 pieces. When the third egg arrives, the egg will hatch, and the chicken can hatch in about 14 days. During the incubation period, males hatch eggs while females are out. At other times, it is hatched by females. In order to improve the reproduction rate and reduce the physical consumption of breeding birds, eggs can be gently taken out 5~7 days after hatching for one week. Those with bloodshot eyes in the sun are fertilized successfully, and those with black and white eyes are unsuccessful and should be abandoned. Newborn chicks can't peck themselves and need to be fed by their parents. Therefore, parents should be fed eggs and millet, and fresh vegetables, oyster powder and cuttlefish bones should be added. After 22 days, the chicks can leave the nest and play outside. After about 30 days, the chicks will feed on their own. In the whole stage of hatching and brooding, cages should not be easily replaced and dismantled to avoid the phenomenon of not hatching and stopping feeding chicks.
5. How should a novice choose a bird?
A novice bird keeper wrote to the author asking that he was a novice bird keeper. He bought some birds, which are beautiful and sing well. He took good care of himself and raised them more carefully, but soon he was sad and the birds left him.
I feel very depressed. I wonder what problems should be paid attention to in raising birds in the future? In fact, keeping birds in cages depends not only on their hobbies and enthusiasm, but also on certain knowledge and skills, especially novices. Choosing what kind of blackbird to raise is very particular. You can't just know what kind of birds are gorgeous and beautiful, what kind of birds sing beautifully and euphemistically, and what kind of birds have beautiful postures. Because if you don't know the life of a bird, don't know what skills to take to raise it, and choose an exquisite breed to raise it, it will often lead to failure, not only losing money, but also disappointing people and making you lose your original interest, hobby and enthusiasm.
Therefore, it is very important for beginners to choose what kind of birds to raise. (1) Choose according to your hobbies Before you decide to keep a bird, you should ask yourself what kind of bird you like and what is the purpose of keeping a bird, and choose the type of bird accordingly.
For example, if you like to listen to singing and birds, you can choose singing birds; I like the coat color and graceful posture of ornamental birds, and I can choose ornamental birds. If birds are kept for hunting, you can choose to hunt raptors. (2) Specific species selection Beginners can choose caged birds that are easy to raise. Generally speaking, they can choose Bai Niao, grey bird, white-backed bird, finch, bouquet, waxbill, canary, pearl finch, budgerigar and so on. These birds are tolerant of rough waiting, easy to breed, and easy for beginners to raise successfully.
Moreover, through breeding, you can also improve your interest and accumulate experience and interest in raising birds.
I want to buy a myna for my daughter. Who knows which myna is good? Where is Shanghai?
1. cage: myna cages include round domes, round flat-topped cages and square arched cages. (The diameter and height are about 40cm).
There is a jumping stick, a vegetable bowl and a water bowl in the cage. The bottom of the cage is equipped with dung boards and bamboo boards for holding meat.
Put on a prison uniform outside. 2. Feeding management: After the purchased chicks can eat completely, feed them with boiled eggs, steamed bread, rice, tofu, insects, eels, frogs, beef or lean pork.
Live eels and frogs can be chopped into paste. Feed 3~5 groups at a time until the chicks are full.
After feeding, use the dropper to absorb water and feed a little water into its mouth, every 1~2 hours/time. You can put the fluffy chicken in the paper box first, put some rags in the middle, feed it and put it in the nest, and put the nest in the dark.
It is best to feed a litter of fluffy chicks together, so that the chicks can keep warm with each other. Young chicks who have learned to eat food should add egg yolk and drinking water to the cage every day, and the amount should not be too full to prevent young chicks from having the habit of picky eaters.
Hang the birdcage in front of the window or breathe fresh air outdoors every morning 1~ 1. Five hours later, take it back to your room.
At noon, put the birdcage into the basin, and the water level is about 5cm above the bottom of the cage, so that it can take a bath. Remove the dung board at the bottom of the cage before taking a bath, then install the bottom plate of the cage after taking a bath, and hang it by the window or outdoors to dry the cage 1~ 1.
Five hours. In addition to feeding egg yolk and drinking water, chicks should also supplement some bait such as lean meat and insects.
Don't leave without eating or drinking. When taking birds out in cold winter, cover them with cage clothes.
Third, starlings learn human language. The better the quality of the chicken, the more frequently it crows. When chickens croak, they can begin to learn human language.
The method is to start with simple pronunciation and gradually combine it into short language. When it barks, simple voices such as ah, ba, de, hello, ha, le, etc. Gradually transition to a simple language.
For example, myna, the cat is coming, meow, you are waiting. During study, you need to twist your tongue. When chickens bark frequently, it is necessary to observe the tenderness of tongue cocoon skin. It is best to twist your tongue when the cocoon skin is long, but it is not thick enough for the elders.
The first tongue twisting of chicks occurred from the end of June to the middle of July. Tongue twisting should be done at night.
The way to twist the tongue is to fix the chicken with your left hand and pull out its tongue, and twist the tongue with your right index finger and thumb. To prevent the tongue from slipping, the forefinger and the base of the tongue should be smeared with incense ashes.
When twisting, put your tongue on your index finger, press your tongue with your thumb, and gently twist it left and right to separate the cocoon skin from your tongue. The quality of this treatment is the key to myna's language learning.
Improper tongue distortion will lead to language learning failure, and even lead to the death of chickens without food. Twisting your tongue for the second time at the end of September, 65438+ 10 excellent chicks can speak human words.
If the little penguin couldn't learn human language before the Spring Festival that year, it was because the pronunciation was basically stereotyped, so he couldn't learn it. The tamed myna keeps learning new human languages, and can learn 3-5 human languages by the next autumn.
Those with good quality can study more and start talking to people. Generally, birds need to be nursed back to the third year to reach the level of proficiency in speaking.
7. Can the ten sisters train themselves and let them go home?
The ten sisters are new varieties produced by hybridization, not wild domesticated species.
There are white, chocolate and variegated colors, and there are also some special varieties, which are called the ten sisters of Yineng. Among breeding birds, the number of ten sisters is the largest among birds.
It is also a gregarious bird with gregarious habits. It is often seen that more than a dozen sisters live in the same grass nest, so they are also very suitable to be fake mothers of other birds. They can be said to be competent parents.
Feeding mode: 1. Prepare a birdcage about 1.4 feet; One or two perches; Pot-shaped nest; Food containers and water tanks. One perch is placed on the back roof to clamp the pot-shaped nest, and the other perch is placed in front of the food container to rest.
2. Feed mixed grains, egg yolk millet, a small amount of green vegetables (rape is preferred), minerals and vitamins. During the growing period, a large number of nutritious foods such as millet should be supplied to promote its growth.
3. Birds are afraid of cold, so they should be prepared for cold protection in winter, such as putting them indoors, covering newspapers, or keeping birds in wenniao cartons. 4. The perch should be washed frequently to avoid the bird's paw being infected.
Sometimes 10th Sister's bird or paw will grow too long and can be decorated with nail clippers. Sterilize nail clippers with alcohol before cutting off your mouth or nails.
After cutting, use lighted mosquito-repellent incense to point at the trimmed part, which can stop bleeding and disinfect. Trim as much as possible in the morning to observe the birds.
Breeding point: 1. The ten sisters matured three months after they were born. At this time, there will be the action of laying eggs and incubating eggs.
Generally, ten sisters can use bowl-shaped nests. 2. Ten sisters and parents.
8. Who can help me find the common sense of raising birds?
Training birds to speak is the same as training acrobatics, and it is also necessary to train birds to form conditioned reflex. First of all, we should form the habit of birds eating food from people's hands, and then teach three or four syllables. Welcome &; Quot, from easy to difficult, step by step, especially in the sensitive period of ornithology &; Classification quot Birds' Feeding Habits
Birds can be divided into food-eating birds, insect-eating birds, omnivorous birds and carnivorous birds according to their feeding habits.
[cereal eater]
Also known as hard-eating birds, storks, Jay, etc. , but mainly the first three kinds of birds. But no matter how realistic they sound, they should be taught to pronounce clearly and slowly. It should be noted that the intestine is short. Kingfishers and storks.
[carnivore]
Also known as raw birds. This kind of bird eats meat, even if it is emotionally stable, it should be kept indoors. Its digestive tract is characterized by: the glandular stomach is almost as long as the muscular stomach, the intestine is long or long, and the cecum degenerates or disappears. Larks have various shapes, and some species have soft mouths, so birds have a reactivity. It is best for birds to learn to speak on an empty stomach in the morning. The environment should be quiet and there should be no noise and conversation. Its digestive characteristics are as follows.
[omnivorous bird]
Its eating habits are varied. Birds that can learn to talk have some common characteristics: they are good at singing, imitating, or have soft mouths. Birds are rewarded with food every time they imitate. It takes about a week to teach one sentence, and then teach the second sentence when they are proficient. Clever birds can learn simple nursery rhymes, and Zhu Xi belongs to this category.
Talking and Training of Birds
Birds that can imitate human language include cockatoos and myna, and the cecum degenerates and disappears. In poultry, finches and birds belong to this category, such as canaries. Therefore, for the change of environment, these birds take plant seeds as their main food, and their mouths are solid conical, short and thick, with inconspicuous peaks and ridges. When eating, they often bite open the hard seed shell and eat the seed kernel. Thrush birds and peaceful birds all belong to this category. Usually, when birds start to eat freely, their emotions gradually stabilize;
The second is to raise it alone for a period of time. If you buy a bird and feed it with other birds at once, it will easily lead to the bird getting sick. So some mainly eat insects and cereal. From the point of view of family rearing, we classify the former as hard-eating birds and the latter as soft-eating birds, which are only the result of mechanical imitation, and most of them are beneficial birds that prey on pests. Pay attention to the protection of great tits and orioles, send out sound signals before feeding, such as calling the name of the bird and whistling: the glandular stomach is developed, the muscular stomach is thin and has peaks. Some people mainly eat grains and insects: there are no crops and beards at the bottom of their mouths. Their digestive tract is characterized by yellowbird, waxbilled finch, gray-billed bird, Jinshan pearl and so on. These birds are easy to keep.
[Insect-eating bird]
Also known as soft-eating bird, this bird mainly feeds on insects and berries, and its mouth is thin and long. Once it makes a sound, it often can't adapt for a while. It is best to cover the cage with a thin, transparent silk scarf first, and then put it in a quiet place. The owner should not observe it and not know its meaning.
How to raise the bought birds?
There are two points to pay attention to when raising newly bought birds, such as "Hello". But this kind of bird is more difficult to raise and breed artificially. Some of them are slender, and their digestive tract is characterized by.
During ornithology speaking, it accounts for about half of the total number of birds, with slender glandular stomach and strong muscles: first, we must stabilize our emotions. Because birds are quite neurotic and live on fish, they can't be replaced by other feeds when they are raised. Their mouths are hooked, some are wide and big, sparrows and egrets. When you start training, choose simple short sentences. Omnivorous birds generally have long and curved mouths, myna and myna: small glandular stomach and rich muscular stomach.
