Everyone has heard of turtledoves, a bird that looks good, have you ever heard of this kind of bird that can be raised? do you know how to raise spotted doves? is there anyone who thinks about raising but doesn't know how to raise them? in order to answer everyone's doubts, the editor specially sorted out the following materials for your reference and study. Let's have a look.

How to raise turtledoves

1. Breeding methods of turtledoves: birds such as turtledoves should eat less and eat more, otherwise it will easily lead to indigestion of turtledoves. The number of times of feeding is 4-5 times a day, and they are generally fed with crushed formula feed such as corn and soybeans. Drinking water is especially to be controlled, turtledoves drink very little, so the equipment to feed water should be wide, as long as the water body loves itself at a depth of 1-2 centimeters, it is easy to drown turtledoves if it is deep.

2. It is best to feed some fresh fruits or vegetables indefinitely, which can provide not only water supplement, but also vitamin supplement. As turtledoves belong to the type of flight, in order to get close to the living habits of turtledoves, general breeding cages should be built at a height of about 2 meters from the ground, and some wood needs to be hung for turtledoves to rest.

Artificial culture technology of turtledove

1. Set up the site:

Sunny slopes with good ventilation, dry and high terrain should be selected to set up high-altitude cages. The cage generally covers an area of 40 square meters to 60 square meters and is 2.5 meters to 3 meters high. It is made of bamboo and tied with plastic nets. A 1 square meter bird shed is built in the cage for turtledove shelter from rain on rainy days and sun shelter in summer.

2. Select birds:

The 10-month-old adult birds, which are large, strong and disease-free, were selected as breeding birds and raised alone. Food containing protein, lecithin and calcium should be added to the feed to facilitate reproduction.

3. Spawning:

Wild birds usually mate and lay eggs in spring and autumn. Artificial breeding can use the method of artificial injection of estrogen into female birds to promote their short-term estrus and lay eggs every month.

4. Incubation:

The postpartum eggs are collected and put into an incubator for artificial hatching. In the process of hatching, the temperature and relative humidity should be adjusted to ensure that the shell rate is more than 98%.

What food does the turtledove eat?

1. Turtledoves feed on sorghum, wheat seeds, rice and fruits, sometimes eat insect larvae, and often eat the seeds of camphor trees in winter. The nest is built on a tree, generally 3-7 meters above the ground, made of branches and simple in structure. Turtledoves are economically valuable hunting birds with a large number of turtledoves.

2. The neck turtledove is symbiotic with human beings, living in open and sparse woods, around villages and rice fields, feeding on the ground, and likes to eat granular hard food, such as small snails, camphor kernels, grains, etc., often opposite to the open road. But after being disturbed, they will slowly flap their wings and fly close to the ground.

After reading the above materials, we must have known how to raise turtledoves. In fact, artificial breeding of turtledoves can be done, but manpower and material resources need to be invested a lot, so it is best not to raise them, just raise starlings and play with them. I don't know if it will help everyone.
