Brief introduction of Beizi bird, also known as Beizi bird, scientific name Parus ater. * * * There are 2 1 subspecies. It is a small songbird that lives in coniferous forest. The beak is short and blunt, slightly conical; The nose is slightly covered with feathers; The wings are short and round; Tail is moderate, square or slightly round; Strong legs and feet, slow claws. Feathers are soft, and the colors of male and female feathers are similar. Sexually active, often jumping on branches, peeling and pecking insects on bark, or flying short distances between trees. Non-breeding season likes clustering. Nesting in tree holes or rock crevices, each nest lays 5 ~ 12 eggs, the females hatch for about 12 days, and the pro-sports chicks are about 3 weeks. Widely distributed in Asia, Europe and North Africa.
The main insects are Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Homoptera, Hymenoptera and so on. , such as golden flower worms, scarabs, moth larvae, foot moth larvae, Culex pipiens, flower flies, ants, bees, pine caterpillars, dust bugs, bedbugs, ladybugs, owls, etc.
Feeding method of shellfish birds
Breeding of shellfish birds? Diet articles
The formula of shellfish bird food: corn flour 2+ mung bean powder 1+ pea powder 2+ peanut powder 1+ egg yolk 2+ finished red food 2.
It is easy to get angry in summer, so the proportion of mung bean powder can be increased appropriately, and the proportion of peanut powder can be increased appropriately in cold winter. Peas are very useful for chubby, but they must be cooked. In daily feeding, it is very important to closely observe the situation of bird droppings so as to adjust food at any time. But it must be fine-tuned, and the main proportion of food cannot change greatly.
After feeding for a period of time, pay attention to whether the bird gets angry. If so, we can feed some cucumbers, spiders and corn worms. If birds don't eat cucumbers, there is a way. Remove the pitcher and food jar and sprinkle some dry noodles on the cucumber. Generally speaking, birds will eat it. You will get used to the taste of cucumber after eating it, but you must pay attention to the time when the water is stopped. Tits are too small to be short of food and water for a long time.
The difference between spiders and corn worms, in my opinion, is the difference between human medicine and food. After feeding for a period of time, birds usually go to the bottom of the cage to sleep, and usually lean against the cage and shrink under the jar and bar. This is normal. Tits are timid, so they feel safe.
Breeding of shellfish birds? Bath products
As for the problem of bathing birds, I think we should try our best on the premise of conditions. If you don't take a bath for a long time, it will seriously affect the feather quality of birds, and there will be symptoms such as feathers standing up, dark color and fluffy hair. The bathtub must be shallow, a little more than one centimeter is enough. If it is too deep, the birds dare not go down, so they can only stand aside and wash their hair.
For birds who don't like bathing, there are also certain methods, such as:
1 Let the bathers take a bath first, while other caged birds watch.
After noon, birds will prefer to take a bath after lunch break.
After walking the birds.
Pour some water on the bar of the bath cage and so on.
The selection method of shellfish birds should be observed and selected from three aspects: appearance, expression and posture.
The first is the appearance of birds.
Birds are big and long (long legs, long tail, long neck), wide head and face (wide forehead, far eyes), big eyes, rushing outward, with gods. The mouth should be long, thin and straight, and try not to have a short mouth or a water mouth. Some people with short mouths may be carpenters, and it is easy to weld cage bars. Many people with mouths like to hide things. Birds with slender mouths are smarter. Big eyes, running outward, running head, thin hair on the top, T high, big black chest when standing on the phoenix head, big black fork (called eight characters in Beijing), clean hair, close to the body, white and tight belly hair. There are several things that are not often noticed: if you carefully observe the hair on the eyes of birds, you will find that most birds' hair is short, and very few birds' hair is long and comes out from it. This kind of bird tends to be large, and once it is called up, its mouth will pounce.
These are the criteria for objective evaluation of birds with survival advantages, plus artificial aesthetic views, such as large and white arms, straight rod-shaped tail and high cavity, etc., which are the basic criteria for choosing raw birds.
For the choice of songs, the element of luck is higher.
In other words, we can only basically choose the sound size of birds and the characteristics of singing in the morning and evening. There is nothing you can do about what sound you can make. A bird with a loud voice must first grow thick enough. Of course, this is different from the bloated body of a bird. It means that the bird's head and face should be "plump", which is large in proportion to its body. Birds that call early are relatively unimportant, and birds that are too noisy or chicken thieves (dogs) will not call too early. Birds with long bodies and soft personalities tend to call slowly, while pudgy birds have a sharper voice.
Then there is the expression and posture of the bird.
Among the dozens of birds with a big beat, some are busy eating, some are flying around, and some are curled up in the corner. I think most clever birds are curled up in the corner, but they must have their eyes wide and looked around, as if they were about to take off at any time, grabbing a few mouthfuls from time to time. At this time, you can catch the bird and put it in a cage for observation. Generally speaking, when a bird is caught in a cage, there will be many different performances. When a bird is strong, its body is mostly horizontal, even its head is slightly downward and its hair is tight. Except for its claws, other parts of its body will not stick to the cage bars, and it will shake its head and look around from time to time. When people are far away, pay attention to whether birds have a tendency to tumble. Anyone who has raised Hongzi knows what it means to pull the neck and twist the bar. Such a bird looks beautiful. Another thing to note is that the whole body is actually exerting strength. Just like a person who sings bel canto, you must have confidence. Anyone who has raised a thrush knows that when a thrush sings, its tail is hooked downward, and it will not shake up and down from time to time because of its great strength. So choose birds with flexible and powerful tails. This kind of bird is more likely to be called Chong in the future. I think it's better for tits to use peanut residue for food. Once they enter the cage for artificial feeding, we must pay attention to the number of insects, especially the birds that have just entered the cage. They have not adapted to the new food and the proportion of food is relatively stable. Of course, some people are used to using insects as food. It's just a habit of personal manipulation. But we must be careful not to repeat, that is, the number of bugs must decline steadily, neither long nor short.
It should also be pointed out that the new bird has just entered the cage, and its constitution is weak and even severely obese. Many people think that if you want to get fat quickly, you must adjust your food to a particularly high level. In fact, this is not right, so there will be more dead birds. The food must be soft at this time. In this period, life-saving is the key. It should be rounded up bit by bit after adapting to artificial food. However, hard food can make birds unable to adapt and lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, but it cannot be absorbed. Especially the fuel quantity is very important. If you sell birds, I suggest you add more oil to keep the birds in a more positive state of loss. But this can only last for a few days, and then it will be difficult to recuperate after someone buys the bird back.
After choosing a satisfactory back to go home, cover it for a period of time and open it regularly for a period of time every day. Gradually increase the opening time.
Sex discrimination diagram of Beizi bird
How can shellfish be divided into male and female 1? Male shellfish are generally larger, with red hair on their shoulders and deep red hair, and a big black chin with obvious black eight bands. Bench? Legs. Mother's shoulder hair is white with little or no black spots.
2. The bigger the chin black spot, the closer it is to men, and vice versa. The one with a long tail and dark feathers is only male, and the other is female.
3, look at the lines of the black eight, if the two tails of the big black eight extend under the wings, the male is very likely; If the figure of eight is round, or even the tail of the black figure of eight is upturned, the mother is very likely.
4, look at behavioral characteristics, males like to stand on the top of their heads, their tails are active, and they are full of energy. The female looks quiet and docile.
5, look at the anus. The anal protuberance is male; On the other hand, it is the mother. The external genitalia of the mother shell is short and flat, while the external genitalia of the child shell and the mother shell are just the opposite. You'd better see the genitals.
The above is a detailed introduction of shellfish and bird breeding methods. After reading it, everyone has a comprehensive understanding of shellfish breeding. The feeding process is very interesting, but everyone must be patient, communicate with shellfish more and exchange feelings. The moment I heard the birds singing, all the previous efforts were worthwhile.
