1, common feed
If the owner intends to breed parrots, it is best to buy a male parrot and a female parrot for breeding at the beginning, because it is not suitable for breeding alone, so if you have the idea of breeding parrots, it is the best choice to choose male parrots and female parrots respectively. In addition, the owner should pay attention to consulting and discussing with the store when purchasing parrots, so as to select parrots with good personality and good health. During the breeding period, parrots can be kept in the same cage, and the cage can be moved to a dark place to give them a better environment.
2, estrus, mating
In order to promote the estrus of parrots, we can provide them with more high-calorie and high-protein feed. If the male parrot keeps rubbing his ass, tapping his beak on his perch or crowing, it means that he is in heat, which is an obvious courtship behavior of the male parrot. Shortly after estrus, the feathers on the male parrot's shoulders will gradually disperse, while the female parrot will respond to the male parrot by raising its tail feathers, and then the male parrot will step on the female parrot's back to mate. After successful fertilization, when the eggs in the female parrot's stomach are mature, the female parrot will directly enter the nest box to prepare for laying eggs.
Step 3 lay eggs
After a week of mating between the female and the male, the female will stay quietly in the nest box, and gradually her stomach will become bigger and harder. Soon, the female bird will excrete a lot of feces with strong smell, which means that the female bird is about to lay eggs. Generally speaking, parrots usually lay 5-6 eggs per nest. When the bird lays eggs, the owner should pay special attention to its nutritional balance, feed it some nourishing pills with high calorie and high protein, and appropriately increase calcium-rich food and fresh vegetables.
4, holding eggs
When the female begins to hold the eggs, the male will take the initiative to take the feed into the nest box where the female is, and at this stage, in order to protect the female, the male will stand in front of the nest box and always be on high alert. After the bird holds the egg, the owner can change to the original feeding method.
Step 5 hatch
/kloc-after 0/7 ~ 23 days, each egg will hatch one by one in the order of laying eggs, but some eggs may not hatch. After the eggs hatch, the females will chew the feed and then spit it out to feed the chicks. At this time, the owner's main job is to keep the temperature in the feeding box at 26 ~ 30℃ and the humidity at 60 ~ 70%, and at the same time, pay attention to keeping the feeding box clean and give the birds enough nutritious and balanced feed. The female will take care of the chicks, and the owner doesn't have to stare at the breeding box to prevent the female from abandoning the nest.
6. contemplative
When chicks hatch, they have no hair or only a little hair, and their eyes are closed. The chicks' eyes won't open until about a week later, and after two weeks, feathers will grow one after another. After the third week, the chicken feathers began to become bright.
