1. Starlings can bask in the sun. Let them bask in the sun for 1-2 hours every day, which is beneficial to ultraviolet sterilization and reduces diseases.
2. Diet:
1. Starlings begin to moult in July. If they usually feed good feed, half of the chick feed can be added to the good feed at this time. Feed less meat, usually once a week is enough. If you feed insects, reduce the amount by half, and increase the amount of vegetables, cucumbers, and fruits to promote the starlings to moult faster.
2. Change back to the original good feed in August. There is no need to increase the chicken feed, and the proportion of meat, egg yolks, fruits, and vegetables must be increased. That is to say, if you don’t usually feed egg yolks, at this time To increase the feeding of egg yolk, egg yolk can be given once every other day. In addition to these, a little raw peanut powder and sesame powder can be added to the feed box every day.
