How do larks reproduce artificially?

Couples usually begin to pair up at the end of March and choose the nest area to breed. The nest is built in the ground grass, composed of grass leaves and fine Artemisia stalks, and the nest is cup-shaped. The breeding period is from May to July and each litter lays 4 eggs and 5 eggs. After 15 days of hatching, the nestling broke its shell. The newly hatched chicks are naked and have down feathers only in some parts, and they open their eyes seven days later.

II. Male and female identification of larks

For the first young feather period, that is, the nestling that has not changed its feathers, you should choose a bird with a stout beak as a whole, a slightly hooked mouth, a deep split beak, a larger head, a wider forehead, large eyes, corners of the eyes, large and clear scaly spots on the wings, thick legs and big toes. The feathers of adult males are dark in color and metallic in bright light. The black spots on both sides of the chest are dark and the head is slightly upward when standing still. The feathers of the female lark's head and neck are lighter, and the black spots on both sides of the chest are not as obvious as those of the male. For the second young feathering period, that is, the birds that have already changed their feathers once, because they are close to the adult birds, in addition to the above selection criteria for the first feathering period, special attention should be paid to the bird's forechest. It should be a bird with prominent black spots, bright feathers, clear markings and long straight claws on the back toe.
