In addition, myna can take a bath every day or every other day in summer, and the cage should be cleaned frequently. Pay attention to cold protection in winter, get more sunshine, and cover the sun with a cage cloth.
Young birds must be fed "formula rations"
Many citizens follow other people's myna because they see it is beautiful and can talk, but the survival rate of their myna is not high. Mr. Huang said that this is mainly because the original breeder did not master the feeding method of chicks. Young birds are fed tofu or eggs and millet every day, duck eggs can be used in summer, and grasshoppers, earthworms, lean meat, bananas and vegetables are given the next day.
Question 2: What cage should I use to raise myna? The bigger the better, the general myna cage is too small, there is no room for it to move. You'd better buy a homemade one with barbed wire. Mine is 50 cm long and 1 m high.
Question 3: What birdcage does myna use? Myna is the general term for birds of the genus Myna in the family Myna of passeriformes. Frontal feathers, especially long and erect, form a towel with the long feathers on the top of the head; The head is completely feathered or partially exposed. About the same sex. There are 6 species, mainly distributed in Asia, and 4 species of myna are common in China. The common myna is black all over, and the feather forehead stands at the base of the mouth, forming a feather shape; The top of the head, cheeks, pillows and ear feathers have green metallic luster; The rest of the upper body is brown; The base of the primary flying feather and the top of the primary covering feather are white, forming large white wing spots; The tail feather is black, except the central tail feather, the rest are Bai Duan. * * * gray-black, with Bai Duan under the tail. Myna is a common bird in southern China. From the south of Shaanxi to the provinces south of the Yangtze River, there are also Taiwan Province and Hainan provinces. They appear in villages, fields and bushes on the side of mountains. Like to live in groups, and live in trees in groups of ten. Omnivorous, often behind plowed cattle, feeding on earthworms, locusts, crickets, etc. ; They also peck at figs, Chinese tallow seeds and raspberries. The breeding period is from April to July. It can reproduce twice a year. Nesting in tree holes or cracks in buildings, sometimes using old nests such as magpies and starlings; The bird's nest is shallow and bowl-shaped, made of straw, leaves and feathers. Each nest lays four eggs. Eggs are light blue. Myna is a caged bird, gentle and easy to tame, and can imitate human language and songs of other birds.
[Edit this paragraph] Appearance characteristics
Myna is a kind of bird with black body, which looks like a crow, but it is significantly different from crows. First of all, myna is much smaller than all kinds of crows (crows with big mouths are 50 cm long; Myna is 25 cm long, followed by myna's beak and feet are bright yellow. This species has obvious frontal feathers at the junction of beak and head. If you carefully observe the body feathers of the head and neck, the black is shining with green metallic luster, and the bases of the primary covering feathers and the primary flying feathers are all white, so there are obvious white spots in the center of the wings during the flight. Looking down, the two white dots are 8-shaped, which is also the source of myna's name. The sharp contrast between two white spots and black body feathers is also an important identification feature of myna. The tail feather is white at the end. The sub-adult of this species has underdeveloped forehead feathers, and the body feathers are not as black and mature as adult birds, but slightly brown. Myna is about 25 cm long. The whole body feathers are black and shiny, and the yellow forehead feathers on the mouth and feet stand like crowns; There are white spots on the wings, which are particularly obvious when flying. It looks like "eight characters" from below, so it's called starling. The tail feather is white at the end.
[Edit this paragraph] Distribution scope
Myna, originally distributed in southern China and Indian zhina Peninsula, is a typical oriental bird. However, the illegal bird trade has made myna spread rapidly, and now there are introduced populations in the Philippines and Borneo, and myna has gradually become a common resident bird in the north of Huaihe River in China. Widely distributed in the south and southwest of China, Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Island.
[Edit this paragraph] Living environment
They live on the edge of villages, fields and forests in the plain. They are very happy. They often stand on the backs of buffaloes, gather in trees or stand on the roofs in rows. At dusk, they often dance in the air in large groups and live after a while. Spend the night in bamboo forests, trees or reeds, and live in groups with other starlings or crows.
[Edit this paragraph] Living habits
They are omnivores and often follow farmers and cows to peck at earthworms, insects and worms. And I like pecking flies, ticks, elephants, locusts, scarabs, crickets and so on. The plant food of myna is mostly the seeds of various plants and weeds, as well as the stems and leaves of banyan trees and vegetables.
[Edit this paragraph] Growth and reproduction
Breeding in April-July, 2 nests a year, no fixed place, often in the cracks in the walls of ancient temples and pagodas, under the eaves, in tree holes, sometimes sorting out the old nests of magpies or brown birds with black collars, or borrowing caves abandoned by kingfishers. The nest is large, irregular and slightly shallow, and consists of wastes such as straw, pine leaves, reed stems, feathers and soft hairs. 4-6 eggs are laid, and the eggs are bright jade blue.
[Edit this paragraph] Artificial feeding
Domesticating myna adopts a tall myna cage and raises more males, and the best effect is to raise them from young birds. Eggs and rice are the best feed for myna. The preparation method of egg rice is: put the rice in a pot, stir-fry it with slow fire until it is yellow but not burnt, pour it into a basin, mix the evenly stirred raw egg liquid into the rice while it is hot, stir it evenly, let it cool, break it and rub it evenly. Generally, there are 4 ~ 6 eggs per kilogram of rice, as well as ants, skin worms, shredded lean meat, tender vegetables, bananas and so on. Are properly added. Myna has a strong digestion and a big appetite. Myna likes to take a bath and often sings in the bath. Once or every other day in summer 1 time, reduce the frequency appropriately in spring and autumn, and seldom take a bath in winter. In the water bath, the cage is often put into the basin, and clean water is added to the basin, the water depth is ... > >
Question 4: How old is myna to be kept in a cage? In a special cage, there is a sand stick bass in the cage Young birds can also feed tofu with millet mixed with eggs and appropriate amount of water every day, steam it and knead it into small fine materials. Duck eggs are available in summer. Feed the stork with powder twice a day, and give it to grasshoppers, earthworms, lean meat, bananas, vegetables and so on the next day.
Chickens are fed only tofu for 7 days, 10% tofu for 8-20 days, eggs and millet for the rest, and a small amount of tender vegetables, worms and water. 2 1-70 days, feed 5% tofu, the rest eggs and millet, and then feed a small amount of tender vegetables, worms and water. Egg millet changed from yolk millet 3: 1 to 1: 1, and the proportion of egg yolk decreased further after 70 days.
You can take a water bath every day or every other day in summer. Cages should be cleaned frequently. Pay attention to cold protection in winter, get more sunshine, and cover the sun with a cage cloth.
Myna cages include round domes, round flat-topped cages and square domes (both about 40cm in diameter and height). There is a jumping stick, a vegetable bowl and a water bowl in the cage. The bottom of the cage is equipped with dung boards and bamboo boards for holding meat. Put on a prison uniform outside.
(2) Feeding management
After the chickens bought are completely edible, they are fed with boiled eggs, steamed bread, rice, tofu, insects, eels, frogs, beef or lean pork. Live eels and frogs can be chopped into paste. 3-5 groups at a time until the chick's crop is full. After feeding, use the dropper to absorb water and feed a little water into its mouth, every 1-2 hours/time. Fluffy chicks can be put in paper boxes with some rags in the middle, fed and placed in nests, and the nests are placed in the dark. It's best to feed the fluffy chicks together in a nest so that they can huddle together to keep warm.
For the chicks who have already eaten, add egg yolk rice and drinking water to the cage every day, and the amount should not be too full to prevent the chicks from being picky eaters. Hang the birdcage in the window and outdoors every morning, breathe 1- 1.5 hours of fresh air, and then take it back to your room to rest and drink water. At noon, put the birdcage into the basin, the water should not be too deep, and the water surface is about 5cm away from the bottom of the cage, so that it can take a bath. Remove the manure board at the bottom of the cage before taking a bath, then hang the manure board at the bottom of the cage on the window or outdoor open cage1-1.5 hours later, and then take it back to the room to rest. In addition to feeding eggs, rice and drinking water, chicks should also supplement some bait such as egg yolk, lean meat and insects. Don't leave without eating or drinking. When taking birds out in cold winter, cover them with cage clothes.
Question 5: Do we have to use iron cages to raise myna? Under normal circumstances, they are closed, and those who have been raised by themselves should also be closed, so that they can form habits from childhood. If I listen to you, I'll let you out to play, or I'll close the cage to eat and drink Lazar. The disadvantages are: (If you shit too much, you will be frightened and fly away, and when you grow up, you will be lured away by the wild myna). According to my years of experience in raising myna, I suggest you put it in a cage and let it out to play with others when you want to go home.
Question 6: What bird can keep two male birds in a cage and have a myna? Fighting is easy.
It's best not to keep two female birds together, because they won't talk too much and each other will be lonely.
Don't be a female and a male, because if both birds don't reach the breeding season, they will repel each other, and if they are kept in a cage, they will definitely become warped.
Therefore, according to my suggestion, it is best to keep only one bird, and it is best to keep a male sheep bird, which is easy to feed, trouble-free and strong.
There is another question about barking. If birds are smarter, it is promising to teach faster, but if they are above average, they will certainly not be so fast. His reaction may be that he can understand you, or he may be excited about foreign voices.
Question 7: What is the cage for keeping myna? Bamboo cages are better, and iron cages are easy to avoid hurting claws and tails.
Question 8: I want to keep a myna. How big is the cage? Surrounded by four 17 inch LCD screens.
Question 9: Is it better to keep a pair of adult myna separately or in a cage? As long as the cage is big and not separated, myna is best to live in groups.
Question 10: What bird can myna be caged with? It is recommended to stay alone. If you fight, one will die sooner or later.
