Keeping Parrots

How to take care of Parrots

Parrot occurs in northern Australia living in semi-arid areas with few trees and shrubs. Breeding parrots are my hobby and interest. My bird grows in the cage with dimensions 1x0, 6x0, and 6 (length width height). Birds successfully bred and multiplied in these conditions for a long time. The problem lies in eating with suitable choice of diet because large propensities to weight gain, which may be significantly adversely, affect the lęgach. Parrot diet consists mainly of seeds: millet (yellow, white, green, Japanese), sunflower (very small amounts of 3-4 grains per bird per day), remember that it was a small sunflower that the birds can go husk), hemp, flax seed, canary seed, and various kinds of grass seeds. Parrots also eat all kinds of insects and worms. Supplement the diet these parrots should be fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, corn in the milk stage), yellow and red peppers, strawberries, mandarins, oranges, celery, parsley, red beet, green beans and biscuits. During the breeding season diet enriched of different types of seed mixture and boiled egg. The molting also provides the egg and sprouts, because then the birds in particular need of many micro and macro elements.

A particular problem of parrot reproduction and many other species of parrots are to find the pairs. Personally, admits to a single frame, at least 6 young, unrelated birds and try to make themselves in pairs. It is certainly better than matching on the "strength" adults. In nature of parrots they choose their partner once in a lifetime. Choosing Nursing ripped each pair is almost 50% of success. Then it is very important that the birds were, respectively, adults were approximately 24-26 months. In another case, a parakeet can be younger breed przypłacić early life (especially female). Adolescents, parents have problems with the incubation without feeding young, or plucking them when they grow their first feathers, or in the worst case of cannibalism. I prefer to hand feed the baby parrots and put them in the wooden planks. So, I can monitor their feeding and process.

During the breeding season I give every 2-3 days to stimulate vitamin clutch Optimin egzotin "E" and I give different kinds of seed mixture and boiled egg. An egg is allowed to stand at the time of the abolition of the first egg until the first young appear. Mating occurs in different ways, it depends mainly on the parrots. I noticed several mating in morning rather evening, when it is quiet and calm, or early in the morning. Female consists of 4-6 white eggs, which are incubated for about 21-22 days mostly alone (not noticed that the male helped during incubation), when the female incubated eggs thoroughly male feeding female sometimes even entering the booth while the female incubates the young to increase humidity in the room up to 70-80%. If we can not raise the humidity should be give extra bowl of water under the hood and frame, and their abilities to increase the maximum humidity in the room.

The cage should not fail to sepia, lime, and charcoal and crushed shells from the boiled egg. Let us remember that we should provide as much minerals that would normally raise the wildlife. Sepia and lime can be bought. Shells of the eggs are also very easy to obtain. Charcoal: the most mobilized by flaming piece of stem or stick on the fire. I break it into pieces and I put in a cage. Not be used charcoal from market! Bird, if you will need it for sure will benefit him and certainly did not hurt.

Hood can be checked after about 7-10 days. Parrots fairly well tolerated by the control booth. Scanned eggs and then see whether they are fertilized or not. If the eggs are dark and you see the red veins that means that they are fertilized. If the egg is not fertilized should consider whether the order is not due to negligence or lack of peace. In any case, if the little parrot is unfertilized eggs should not pull them and throw away, because the next clutch parrot may itself break down or sit still no eggs. Therefore, it is safer to leave them. The female usually very aware of the eggs that is empty so they know that.

If the chicks are fully grown it is primarily to ensure that parents have provided the utmost peace, and a sufficient amount of food. Please note that the young birds grow very intensively, and their nutritional requirements are very large, so we can not afford any negligence. During the breeding birds are given the best food twice a day, and then we have 100% confidence that the developing young nothing is missing. Important that the birds always have fresh eggs! Eggs are highly perishable, especially in the summer.

Young grows very quickly if we want to put them a ring bond we obtain the ring size of 4 mm. Hard to determine the exact day bird ringing with different because the intensity of the birds grow. Therefore, the first attempt to impose rings I carry out around 8-9 days of age, if I see that ring is still a lot of slack and could not fit in with bird legs then it is better to wait and try to perform the treatment again the next day. It happens that a young female prematurely ejects the booth; usually this is due to desire the next clutch. We can counter this by reducing the attractiveness of the booths, for example by downloading it on the floor, or removing the roof. In our culture I had a case when it seized the young female writers. Until now, one hundred percent, I am not sure what the cause was. Nutritional deficiencies rather exclude, because I feed the birds feed reputable Western firms. And in addition, a diet change. I suppose it could be a change in mental health. The case was so interesting about that all the young were fed sensational, and immediately after leaving the young couple joined the booth next clutch.
