The reason why this paragraph was named

The golden pearl bird was named after its gray feathers and scattered white spots, which looked like a pearl. It is said that Sydney, Australia, was called "Golden Mountain" because of its previous legend of being rich in gold mines, just as San Francisco, the United States, was called "San Francisco" because of its previous rich gold mines. As a result, the golden pearl bird became a local common name of "Golden Pearl Bird" because of its region.

Pearl birds can be raised in pairs or in groups; Both for viewing and breeding. A pair can be raised in a single cage, and a group or several pairs can be raised in a nest box according to the size of the box. Generally, the length, width and height of a family feeding cage are about 3 cm, and one to several pairs can be fed. An artificial nest box should be set on the upper corner of the box cage. The artificial nest box is about 9 cm long, 7 cm wide and 1 cm high. The bottom of the box is covered with cotton or nest grass about 2 cm thick. The entrance and exit are about 3 cm in diameter, and there are small tables outside the entrance and exit. Can also be replaced by bamboo tube or gourd.

preparation before breeding. Pearl bird is timid and timid, and it can reach maturity in 3-4 months. Generally, healthy birds about 4 months old are selected as breeding birds, and the breeding cages can be square cages made of metal. The nest for breeding can be a square groove of 15cm× 1cm× 1cm, with a partition in the middle, which divides the nest box into two rooms, the partition and the outer room are provided with entrances and exits respectively, and a small platform is arranged outside the entrance and exit, which is convenient for birds to pedal when entering and leaving the nest. You can also use pot-shaped grass nests or small gourds, etc., put clean mats in the nests and hang the nests in the upper corner of the cage. There are 2 perch bars in the cage, and food, water and sand tanks are placed.

Edit this section for hatching

When the pearl birds grow to 3-4 months, choose the parent birds, feed them with eggs and millet, and clean fresh vegetables (rape is the best) to promote estrus. When it is found that the male and female are paired, when the parent birds frequently come in and out of the breeding nest, it means that the female birds will lay eggs, usually 4-6 eggs, and when they reach 3-4 eggs, they will start to hatch. Once a bird is found to be always there, The most suitable growth temperature of the pearl bird is 2-25℃, and it should not be lower than 15℃ indoors in winter, and it should be kept warm at night.

Notes for editing this section of hatching

Because the pearl bird is timid, it is necessary to keep the surrounding environment quiet when hatching. Do not peep except adding water, and it is absolutely forbidden to move the cage, so as to avoid the parent bird being frightened and abandoning the nest or the parent bird not feeding. In order to improve the economic value of raising pearl birds, we can take out the eggs and let the ten sisters who are hatching hatch for generations. The method is to choose the ten sisters whose egg laying period is the same as or 2-3 days different from that of the pearl birds, take out the eggs of the ten sisters with a small spoon, and then put them in the eggs of the pearl birds. The action should be light. The ten sisters are very affectionate and are called nanny birds. Generally, breeders should raise several pairs of ten sisters and control their incubation time. After hatching, the ten sisters will feed the young pearl birds until they live independently.

Pearl birds can breed all year round, and they can lay eggs continuously as long as the living environment is quiet and the light in the cage is not too strong. Daily management should maintain the hygiene of cages and cages, and often disinfect indoors and cages (the method is to spray indoors with "Lysol" and soak the sink and trough with potassium permanganate diluent).

Jinshan pearl birds can be kept in various small bamboo cages or metal cages, with an area of 4 cm× 3 cm× 3 cm, and one pair is kept in each cage. Cage bars should be fine, and food containers, sand boxes, drinking fountains, etc. should be small and exquisite to improve the ornamental value. Can also be raised in poultry houses and houses. Hanging the breeding nest box on the wall, the size of the nest box is 1.4cm× 9cm× 9cm. Set up wooden boards and divide them into upper and lower floors to make a hidden nest, and the number should be more than the actual number of paired birds, so as to avoid fighting for nests. The nest should be padded with cotton wool, brown silk, hay and feathers. After the chicks are hatched, stand a few straw or straw stacks on the floor of the house for the chicks to hide in. When the parent birds come to feed, they will recognize each other automatically.

Pearl birds sing softly, much like the "squeak" sound made by a hurried wheel due to lack of oil. When they are frightened, they call each other, much like the sound of a trumpet playing in a very far place, and occasionally they make a "meow" sound similar to a cat's meow.

Edit this essay "Pearl Bird"

Pearl Bird Author: Feng Jicai is so nice! My friend gave me a pair of pearl birds, which were placed in a simple bamboo cage with a roll of hay in it. It was a comfortable and warm nest for the birds. I heard from others that this is a bird that is afraid of people. I hung it in front of the window. There is also an unusually lush pot of French chlorophytum. I covered the birdcage with the long weeping vines with small green leaves, which were as safe as hiding in the deep jungle; The thin and bright sound like a flute coming from it is particularly relaxed. The sun shines through the window, and through here, the countless nail-shaped lobules of chlorophytum are half in shadow and half in light, like jasper; The patches are mottled and the business is lush. The shadows of the birds are faintly flashing in the middle, and they can't be seen completely. Sometimes they can't even see the cage, but they can see their lovely bright red mouths sticking out from the green leaves. I seldom pull open the leaf vines to look at them, and they gradually dare to stick out their little heads and look at me. We got to know each other a little bit. Three months later, there was a shrill and delicate cry in the increasingly lush green vines. I guess they have a baby. What about me? Never open the leaves to look in, and don't even open your curious eyes to disturb them when adding food and water. Not long after, suddenly a little head came out from among the leaves. Yo, fish! That's the little guy! It is so small that it can easily get out of the cage. Look! How much like its parents: red mouth and feet, gray-blue hair, but round white spots like pearls have not yet been born on its back; It is so fat that its whole body looks like a fluffy ball. At first, the little guy only moved around the cage, then flew around the house and landed on the top of the cabinet for a while; Standing proudly on the bookshelf for a while, pecking at the names of those great writers on the back of the book; I knocked the light rope back and forth for a while, and then jumped into the frame again. As long as the big bird calls in the cage, it will fly back to the cage at once. I don't care about it. After such a long time, open the window, it will only stand on the window frame for a while at most, and will never fly out. What a good boy! Gradually it got bolder and landed on my desk. At first, it was far away from me, and when I didn't hurt it, it came closer, then jumped on my cup, bent down to drink tea, and then turned away to see my reaction. I just smiled and continued to write, and it boldly ran to the manuscript paper, jumping around my pen tip, and the beating little red paw made a squeak on the paper. I wrote quietly, silently enjoying the close affection of this little guy. In this way, it is completely relieved. Simply peck at my trembling pen tip with that waxed little red mouth. I touched its delicate fluff with my hand, but it was not afraid. Instead, it pecked my finger twice in a friendly way. During the day, it accompanied me so naughty; When it was dusk, it flew to the cage with the repeated calls of its parents, twisted its round body and squeezed the green leaves to get in. One day, when I was writing at my desk, it actually fell on my shoulder. The pen in my hand stopped unconsciously, for fear of running away from it. Stay for a while, twist a head to see, this little guy actually fell asleep on my shoulder, silver-gray eyelids covered his eyes, and little red feet were just covered by long fluff on his chest. I gently lifted my shoulder, but it didn't wake up and slept soundly! And smack your lips. Are you dreaming? When I move the pen tip, I shed a temporary feeling: trust often creates a beautiful realm.

Editing this passage of Pearl Bird Appreciation

First, the overall grasp 1. The ode to love between man and nature "How nice! My friend gave me a pair of pearl birds. " At the beginning, the author expressed his feelings in a happy tone, which laid the relaxed tone of the full text. Throughout the whole article, the reader is always drawn by the author's pen, shrouded by people's love for animals, and carefully observes the every move of this lovely and scary bird with the author. Driven by love, "I" mainly did two things for the birds: first, although the birds already had a "comfortable and warm nest", "I" carefully re-processed and decorated a quiet and safe room for them, and added food and water to them on time; The "relaxed" cry of a bird that started a new life in a warm and harmonious environment may be its thanks to its owner. Second, "I" hold back my curiosity, and never disturb the life of the little bird easily because of my so-called love; In the days to come, the bird's closeness to "I" is the best reward for this love. It is precisely because the author has such a pity for the pearl bird that he often endows the ignorant bird with human nature and depicts the pearl bird as charming and lovely. "Cute little bright red mouth sticking out from the green leaves" and "gradually dare to stick out my little head and look at me" are more like the uneasy and curious expression of a naughty child when he first arrives in a new environment. The article uses more pen and ink to describe the pearl chicks. "Red mouth and red feet, gray-blue hair, just round white spots like pearls on the back; It is so fat, and its whole body is like a fluffy ball. " It is full of curiosity about the world outside the cage and flies around the house; It doesn't know how to respect authority, and "pecks at the names of those great writers on the back of the book"; It is also very timid. When it hits the light rope and shakes it, it will immediately flee to the picture frame. As long as mom and dad give an angry cry, it will "fly back to the cage immediately" like an obedient boy. The author looks at the ignorant bird with humanized eyes. It "jumps into my cup, bends down to drink tea, and then turns away to see my reaction", and then "boldly runs to the manuscript paper and jumps around my pen ..." It actually knows how to look at adults' faces! A bird with human spirit can sleep on my shoulder like a lovely child. Because of love, the author carefully observed the bird's every move; On the other hand, due to careful observation, the author's love for this naive creature has been further deepened. There are many descriptions of this kind of love in the article. The author carefully outlines the image of the pearl bird for us with light, lively and dense brushstrokes, and composes an ode to love between people and animals. 2. Trust creates a beautiful realm. In chronological order, the article describes the changing process of the relationship between "I" and the Pearl Bird family from acquaintance, familiarity and closeness to dependence. The full text can be divided into two parts. The first part (paragraphs 1-5) writes that "I" arranged a comfortable and warm nest for the pearl bird. The second part (paragraphs 6-15) describes the emotional communication process between the young pearl bird and "I" from alienation to closeness. On the surface, the bird is getting closer and closer to me from "far away from me", to "a little closer", to "accompanying me mischievously" and finally "unexpectedly falling on my shoulder". In this process, it is the bird that takes the initiative to get close to "I"; In fact, every step I take with the bird is based on some action of mine. Because "I seldom pull open the leaf vines and look at them", they "dare to stretch out their little heads and look at me"; Because "I" "never lift the leaves to look in" and don't disturb them, chicks can grow freely in my home; Because "I don't care about it", it won't fly away even if the window is open; Because "I won't hurt it", it dares to "jump on my cup" to drink tea; Because "I just smile and write", it will "jump around my pen"; Because "I write quietly", it even "pecks at my trembling nib" with its little red mouth; Because "I" didn't scratch it with my hand, but just "caressed its delicate fluff", it would "peck my finger twice in a friendly way" ... It can be seen that the gradual approach of the physical distance between man and bird clearly shows the continuous shortening of the psychological distance between them. In this process of change, "I" played a decisive role, and "I" created a relaxed and free space for it with love beyond selfish desires, thus winning its trust in people. "Trust often creates a beautiful realm." -the last sentence became the crowning touch of the whole article, shining with touching ideological brilliance. Not only people and animals, but also people. Respect each other's living space and ideological space, and truly do not bully the weak with the strong, and do not bully the small with the big. This is a prerequisite for establishing a trust relationship, and having trust will undoubtedly make the world more gentle. Second, the problem research why does the article emphasize in a single paragraph at the beginning that the pearl bird is "a bird that is afraid of people"? "Afraid of people" is the highlight of Pearl Bird.
