The method of raising black thrush in captivity

Bird's Choice

Blackbird is a song bird that likes to be raised in southern China. Wild adult birds wild big, difficult to tame, often because of excessive collision cage and death, so take more young birds artificial feeding. Female adult birds are slightly different from male birds, upper body including two wings and tail feathers are black brown, back color is slightly light; chin and throat light chestnut brown, decorated with dark stripes; lower body rest is also black brown, but slightly stained chestnut It is difficult to distinguish between male and female young birds. It is generally believed that the primary flight feathers of male young birds have obvious metallic luster. Female young birds have no such luster or are not obvious.

Cage selection characteristics

Raising blackbirds with myna cage is appropriate, but also available thrush cage, or self-made similar size, bright bottom, strip spacing of 2 cm bamboo cage.

feed method

To blackbird chicks, generally feed bean products (such as dried white tofu or white tofu skin), cut into palatable small pieces and feed with bamboo sticks; it is best to add fresh meat powder mixed with powder (such as point powder, chicken feed rub 20% cooked egg yolk, etc.) to make thick porridge, feed with bamboo sticks. Adult blackbirds take egg rice or egg millet as regular feed, feed one wipe (food tank) soft material (meat foam + cooked eggs + fruit foam + vegetable foam + insects) every day, eat it within two hours.

management training

Around October, young blackbirds have changed into bird feathers, is a good time to learn to speak, should start walking birds. Every morning bring the cage to the park or countryside to listen to birds, or make it learn from the "teacher bird".

Daily management focuses on hygiene of drinking water and cleanliness of cages and utensils. Water bath once a day in summer, try to raise the room temperature in winter, and ensure that water bath once a week. Molting period feed must be supplemented with vitamins and trace element additives, otherwise it is often difficult to take off feathers and winter.
