Precautions for novice parrots 1 Precautions for novice parrots

When a novice raises a parrot, he should pay attention to the fact that the cage should not be too small, so that the parrot has enough room to move, and the parrot may have the habit of biting the cage, so the quality of the cage should be bought as much as possible. Usually he should pay attention to the ventilation of the cage and keep the temperature around 20℃.

Novices who have no experience in raising parrots don't know whether they can feed them or whether they really like parrots. At first, don't buy expensive varieties. It is recommended to choose budgerigars, which are the most common and relatively easy to raise.

When feeding parrots at ordinary times, the feed should not be too single, and attention should be paid to the problem of balanced nutrition. All grains and vegetables should be fed. We should also pay attention to the cleanliness of cages and the health of parrots. Once a parrot gets sick, it should be sent to a pet hospital for treatment.

Precautions for novice parrots 2 1 Budgerigars eat more millet with shells, which is millet. But parrots that only eat millet will be malnourished, so they must feed a variety of cereals, such as rice, hemp seed, barnyard grass, black sunflower seeds, red, black, yellow chestnuts, safflower seeds and so on. You should also pay attention to supplementing calcium to parrots. You can buy some cuttlefish bones or accompany them with broken eggshells. (ps: If you don't deserve it or feel trouble, you can buy my feed directly! )

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of bird cages, clean up parrot droppings on time, prevent bacterial and viral infections and reduce parasites. ;

3. Pay attention to the position of birdcage, and choose a quiet and undisturbed place, without environmental pollution, and pay attention to air circulation and freshness.

Because parrots like to bite cages, it is generally necessary to prepare a grinding stick for parrots, and ordinary wood will do.

Chickens can reproduce after being kept for about 6 months. A wooden box and a breeding box should be prepared for parrots. Generally, females lay 6-8 eggs per nest, and the incubation period is about 19 days. Budgerigars are very fertile. As long as the conditions are right, they will give birth to the next generation.

6. Parrots should also drink water, but pay attention to changing water every day. It's best to keep it cool and white, so as not to let the parrot have diarrhea after drinking raw water.

Three taboos

Parrots are vegetarians. They mainly feed on whole grains, and usually feed some vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins. However, this nutritional supplement has caused many parrots to die. Generally, novices feed budgerigars pears and spinach without knowing it, which may cause budgerigars to have diarrhea.

If it is not stopped in time, budgerigars are likely to die. There are also unwashed leaves. If most of them contain a lot of pesticide residues, budgerigars may also die.

Many novices are extremely anxious when they see that budgerigars have just blown their hair, and then they start looking for ways to cure birds everywhere. Finally, budgerigars often die of illness or heal themselves, so many novices forget why they have budgerigars, because they are in good health and have strong disease resistance.

The budgerigar has the best disease resistance among parrots, and basically won't get sick. Even if it is fried, feeding some electrolyte solution (white powder with birds) and resting in a warm and windless room for 3 days can basically return to normal. If accompanied by diarrhea, you can feed half a piece of oxytetracycline dissolved in water and let the parrot drink freely.

Many novices are very happy when they just bought budgies, so they let them out for activities. Because the parrot doesn't know the glass, it may directly hit the glass and die. This is my advice to you.

Don't play with newly bought parrots too early, put them in a quiet place at home for 3-5 days, and then play with them after adapting to the environment, because parrot express delivery is very tired for many days. If you play too much, you may lose your life.

Therefore, as a novice bird breeder, we sometimes encounter many unpredictable difficulties, especially the three taboos mentioned above, so we must be careful.

Precautions for novice parrots 3. First, eat balanced nutrition, clean and hygienic.

Parrots prefer to eat some whole grains, such as broken corn kernels, melon seeds (unprocessed sunflower seeds), millet and rice grains. Check the shelf life when you buy these whole grains. They should be the freshest. If you give old rice at home to parrots, you will be afraid to go to the pet hospital.

In addition, we should pay attention to balanced nutrition. Vegetables and fat feed can be purchased appropriately. You can go directly to the pet store to buy fat feed. Choose the right brand according to the different age groups and categories of parrots, but pay attention to the proportion of food in each meal at home. Eating too much fat feed is harmful to the health of parrots, and if it is serious, it will cause parrot feathers to fall off.

Second, the residence should be ventilated and fresh.

Parrots are birds born to fly in the sky. If it is raised by humans, it naturally needs a relatively large space for activities. You can choose some metal or wooden cages. Metal cages shall not be painted, and the bottom of cages must be covered with nets. When parrots grind their teeth in cages, on the one hand, they should avoid toxic paint from eating into their stomachs, and on the other hand, they should prevent parrots from touching excreta.

The hanging position of the birdcage needs to be moved more every day to prevent too much sunlight. If there is too much sunshine, the estrus of parrots will come early, and the female parrots in estrus will continue to lay eggs, which is particularly bad for their health.

If only one parrot is kept, in estrus, the male parrot will have a strong desire to go out and find a spouse, which is particularly easy to lose, so two parrots should be kept to keep balance; In order to prevent the female parrot from laying too many eggs, we can buy some fake parrot eggs similar to ceramics and let her hatch.

Third, provide parrots with proper space and exercise every day.

If you have pets, you must be responsible for them for life, not only to ensure that they eat and live normally, but also to take them for a walk. Parrots like singing and flying, so in their spare time, they can be guided to learn to "speak" because different kinds of parrots have different learning abilities.

If you meet a "stupid parrot", don't lose your temper with it. After parrots adapt to the living environment at home, they can open their cages and let them fly indoors, but they still have to control the flying space, otherwise the feeling of bird droppings everywhere is really unfriendly.

If the parrots at home are not well trained and have no deep feelings for their owners, they must not be allowed to fly outdoors. First, it is difficult for parrots to come back when they leave. After all, flying to the blue sky and white clouds is their indelible instinct.

Secondly, domestic parrots cannot survive if they are lost. There is no place for them to stay in busy cities, and they are used to feeding, so they can't feed, so the escaped parrots are either killed by cars or starved to death.
