Artificial feeding technique of Pulsatilla chinensis

Pulsatilla is a common bird in the Yangtze River Basin and its vast areas south of China. It is mostly found in trees and shrubs in hills or plains, as well as in coniferous forests. It is sexually active, not very afraid of people, omnivorous, and eats both animal food and plant food. Eating a large number of agricultural and forestry pests is one of the beneficial birds in agriculture and forestry. Let's take a look at the artificial breeding technology of Pulsatilla.

The choice of birds

Generally, pulsatilla is raised in order to listen to its pleasant songs, so more males are chosen, but the feather colors of males and females are similar, so it is difficult to distinguish them. Experienced people can distinguish them according to the gray chest of male birds, light female birds, white and clear pillows of male birds, slightly stained females and other characteristics. Young birds have a grayish brown head, brown olives on the back, and gray feathers on the abdomen and tail, which can be easily distinguished from adult birds. Because the adults caught in the wild are timid and not easy to tame, they usually take out the chicks with long feathers or raise the chicks that leave the nest.

The characteristics of the cage

White-headed Weng eats insects and fruit, has a lot of soft feces and likes to take a water bath, so the bottom of the birdcage should be bright, and there is a dung board below to facilitate fecal leakage and cleaning. Can be self-made bamboo cage, round (diameter 26 cm, height 30 cm) or square (26 × 26 × 30 cm), in the north can also be raised with a chin cage.

Feed feeding method

Raising pulsatilla can be a kind of powder as a regular feed, such as mixing corn flour, peanut rice flour and cooked egg yolk at 5:2:3, or feeding some chin powder (mung bean flour, corn flour, cooked egg yolk, freshwater fish meal or silkworm pupa powder according to 5 / 2 / 2 / 1), often replenishing some fruit and insect larvae and pupae.

Management training

In captivity, Pulsatilla is a soft predator. The water in the pitcher is easy to be polluted and needs to be brushed and replaced with fresh water every day. Take out the rest of the fruit that you can't finish on the same day. Provide bath water every day (summer) or every other day (spring and early autumn) and let it bathe on its own. Wash the birdcage once a week. White-headed Weng is not cold-resistant, so in the north, it must be raised indoors in winter and stop going out to walk birds.

Feeding requirement

Pulsatilla is suitable for eating some soft and delicate food. The pitcher used is easy to be contaminated. Wash it every day and make sure it always gets clean water. The water that you haven't finished that day must be replaced. It is necessary to provide water channels for bathing in Pulsatilla in summer, which is also needed in Spring and Autumn and will freshen up by itself. The cage should be kept clean at all times and thoroughly cleaned once a week.
