No coconut shells! Be sure to place clean sawdust 1.5cm thick! How long have Pippi been in your house? How old are they? They are all prerequisites for breeding, adulthood, health, and being in heat. Please post pictures!
The nest you make (preferably wooden) should be large and dark enough, filled with clean sawdust, and try to simulate nature as much as possible (in nature, nests are built in tree holes, and they originally lived in Australia. The wild population is a national second-level protected animal)!
1. You must not disturb them during egg laying (for example, to see how many eggs have hatched, or if there are sounds of walking around the nest, or even sounds of cats and dogs) Biting a parrot, etc.), abnormal sounds during pregnancy and egg laying are not allowed!
2. Don’t even pick up the egg to look at it. If it has human smell on it, the parent bird will not recognize the egg and it will be impossible to hatch it! Curb your curiosity!
3. The nest should be dark enough (including the flashing light and loud and quiet sound of the TV, the computer being on for a long time, the sound of the refrigerator and weak light, etc.). It is really not possible at all. The last thing you need to do is cover it, keep the humidity right, and keep away from mice! Stay away from crabs! Stay away from cats and dogs! Stay away from snakes! Even if they are separated by a cage, they will be hurt, and the consequences will be serious
4. Don't move the position of the nest!
When in estrus, the coat of the couple is relaxed, there is a white ring in the eyelids, and the eyes are blurred (obvious in the male, sometimes not in the female), the male’s cry is gentle and delicate, and the cry is very The kind that is small and gentle, pecks the female's beak (birds should call it beak), and may step on the back of the female at any time (i.e. mating, the male steps on the female's back to mate), and will lay eggs in about 6 days, and 18 days after laying the eggs -They will hatch in 20 days, so you should have the nest ready when they come into heat! She will go in and inspect the nest you prepared. If it is not suitable, she will not lay the eggs in it, but may lay them outside the nest! As for how long it takes to get into the nest, it depends on their relationship
The best breeding age is between 1 and 3 years old, and don’t get married among close relatives! The breeding season is in spring, autumn and winter. In summer, it is too hot to lay eggs. One egg will be laid every other day. Each clutch should be 5-8. This is not necessarily my experience. Don’t use 2 females and 1 male, 2 males and 1 female. Fighting means that the male cannot take care of one husband (especially before and after laying eggs) and the females will fight (such as holding their little paws together, flapping their wings and pecking each other). When males fight for their mates, the other Pipi might hurt the eggs. When the male fights, the loser's fur will be pecked to pieces! If you want to grow your team, you need to change the breeding birds when they are too old (replace both the parent birds). When they are old, they will move slowly and their feathers will not shine. Don’t dislike them and give them a happy old age
After the baby birds come out of the nest, they need to change the cage to a larger one, or isolate them, but it is best not to do this (their flesh and blood are separated). The female will give birth again after a while (the breeding season is in spring, autumn and winter, and summer is too hot), and the mother will peck the babies. For birds, it takes up too much space to drive them away. The cage should be as small as they can open their wings. The male is responsible for leading the young birds out of the nest, teaching and encouraging the children to fly. When the young birds grow up, do not marry incest! Remember!
I usually like to eat millet, perilla seeds, peanuts, sunflower seeds with the skin on, and very fine sand (you can’t give too much to young birds, otherwise they will easily get bursitis! Help! Digest food and increase friction between foods), peanuts should be broken into pieces to avoid choking them! We should also often give her some cuttlefish bones (available in pharmacies), egg shells and egg yolks to supplement calcium. Egg shells are just ordinary eggs. After they are cooked, we eat the inside. After the shells and egg yolks are dried, we break them into pieces for them to eat. . . It doesn’t matter if you don’t break them into pieces. They are all supplemented with calcium. Just a little bit of egg yolk. Just give a little bit when breeding, but not too much so as not to affect her future egg production. Also give her some cabbage, apples, fresh vegetables and fruits for her to peck. Spinach will cause diarrhea, so be sure to pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness when eating food, and avoid having feces! As much as you give, the food box cannot be empty. Especially when traveling far away, he knows how much to eat. In addition: Pay attention to all food, water, and cages that they can come into contact with (food boxes, water bottles, perches, parrots, toys, and feces trays need to be cleaned every day). Fruits and vegetables should be washed and not rotten, and uneaten items should be taken out in time!
You need to see sunlight, but not direct sunlight, that is, not too strong. Sunlight promotes the synthesis of vitamin D and helps absorb calcium. Proper sunlight will kill bacteria and parasites on feathers. . Be careful to keep the cage away from window cracks (no air leakage through cracks). Keep away from heaters in northern winter. Place the cage against a wall (not the wall of a mountain). When watching TV, the light flashes back and forth. The parrot's pupils will also be intolerable. This will make them If it is frightened and even affects the offspring, move the cage to a place where there is no light (including the refrigerator at night) and no abnormal noise. Don't let her smell odors such as tobacco and cooking fumes. Birds are very sensitive to smells. Clean the pole where she drinks water, eats, and rests every day. When the weather is good, let her out to play indoors. , rinse with salt water and dry in the sun before installing it back, there should be no fecal dirt! Their companions will clean each other's feathers and bask in the sun, but not in direct sunlight! Don’t put it next to the heater in winter! It will dry.
Be careful not to have any window gaps! Otherwise, the evil wind will have a great influence on her!
