Female and male parent birds co-brood, brood period of about 30 days, female birds in the incubation period is more sensitive to external interference, try to keep the environment quiet, so as to avoid parent birds abandoned nest after shock, affecting incubation and brood. Winter breeding bird room temperature should be kept above 20℃, relative humidity 45%~50%, to maintain indoor air circulation. The breeding peak period can reach 3~4 years, and the reproduction rate gradually decreases after that. In order to purify and rejuvenate the breeding birds, the breeding birds should be renewed continuously.
