How do cloud-spotted parrots raise cloud-spotted parrots? how do they divide male and female?

Parrots not only have beautiful feathers, but also very smart. If you can raise birds as pets, I believe most people will choose to raise parrots. There are many kinds of parrots, and the cloud-spotted parrot is also one of them, so do you know how to raise the cloud-spotted parrot? How to distinguish between male and female?

How to raise parrots

1. Overfeed the young birds for fear of starvation. In nature, parents must take turns to look for food to feed their chicks, so it is impossible for chicks to be fed until the vegetarian sac is full, so the chicks should be fed with a small number of meals, and before feeding, make sure that the food fed last time has been digested to avoid crop inflammation caused by the accumulation and fermentation of old food.

2. Generally speaking, cloud-spotted parrots love to enjoy sunflower seeds, but most birds take this as their only food, but they do not realize that this behavior will reduce the fun and ability of parrots to eat, and feeding only sunflower seeds can easily lead to nutritional imbalance. In addition, sunflower seeds are rich in lipids, which can easily lead to obesity diseases.

3. Improper preservation of feed leads to food deterioration and even toxins, and birds continue to feed without noticing. Of course, there will be problems with loving birds. Therefore, it is recommended to choose feed according to the amount of feed you raise. Large packaging will of course be cheaper, but the shelf life of feed is not long, so it will lose the big because of the small. In addition to the fact that feed should be stored in a dry or even refrigerated environment, it would be a good idea to invite several friends to share it, not only with lower cost and risk, but also to try a variety of products.

How do parrots breed

The breeding of cloud-spotted parrots is the same as that of budgerigars. After a period of time, parrots can breed their own parrots without manual intervention or hatching. Budgerigars usually don't hatch the eggs of other parrots easily.

The choice of breeding nest box: generally use wooden nest box, the size of which is suitable for two adult birds to enter and leave freely. The nest box should be made into two boxes inside and outside, and the inner grid is the place where the female lays eggs and hatches, avoiding light (that is, there are no obvious loopholes). During the incubation and brooding of budgerigar, occasionally opening the nest box will not affect the female's hatching and brooding, but it should not be checked too frequently; therefore, the nest box can be used as a movable drawer door to check the situation in the box from time to time.

Parrot spawning and brooding period to supplement nutrition, can be given washed cuttlefish bone for its bite to supplement calcium, the nestling period to regularly add cooked egg yolk, green vegetables, fruit, etc., to facilitate the growth of the nestling.

Strain inheritance: as mentioned earlier, there are several common species of cloud-spotted parrots, except for dominant pie and fish scale species, their coat color types are all recessive variation, so in order to breed and obtain small cloud-spotted parrots, try to choose the same species of cloud-spotted parrots for mating and breeding.
