Peony Parrot Feeding and Breeding

Peony parrot Alias ​​couple parrot, is a parrot head, parrot animals. Peony Parrot native to Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan and other countries, is a world famous ornamental bird. 1 Morphological characteristics and identification of male and female peony parrots There are 8 varieties, including brown-headed peony parrots, black-headed peony parrots, black-faced peony parrots, and new breeds artificially cultivated and stereotyped. Their body sizes are not large, and the general body length is about 150 mm. The tail is short, spade-shaped, with white eyes. The color of the head varies from species to species, with dark brown, orange, gold, gray, brown and so on. Red-brown, red-necked collar with red neck, chest red-orange, back feathers and wings feathers green, winged black, tail feathers green. Adult females have the same female and male feathers, but males are slightly smaller than females, and males, in particular, have smaller heads and pods than females. 2 Feeding Techniques 2.1 The daily feed for peony parrots is made from 70% corn millet, 20% wolfberry fruit and 10% wolfberry fruit. In winter and breeding season, fatty feed such as sunflower seeds and crushed peanuts can be appropriately increased, but the proportion should be below 20% to prevent the birds from becoming fat. In addition, sufficient vegetables and fruits are provided every day. During the breeding period, a wet powder mixture of 60% corn flour, 20% ground peanuts and 20% cooked eggs was added. 2.2 Other management measures Since the peony parrot is native to the tropics, the cold resistance is weak. In winter, the environment temperature should be kept above 15°C to ensure safe wintering. The pods of the peony parrot are strong and powerful. They cannot be kept in bamboo cages, but they should be raised in metal cages made of iron wire No. 12. The diameter of the mesh should not exceed 2 cm. The bottom of the cage should be covered with fine sand. 3 Artificial propagation 3.1 Control of breeding season Under the conditions of artificial rearing, peony parrots can be bred almost every year. However, in cold winters and hot summers, nest boxes should be dismantled and the breeding season should be controlled in the spring and autumn. 3.2 Preparation of Breeding Site Pairs of breeding peony parrots can produce a 706050cm breeding cage with a 201616cm artificial nesting box. The front of the nest box is opened with a 6cm diameter entrance and exit, with a wooden platform below the mouth and the side of the nest. Open 2 to 4 vent holes 0.5 cm in diameter. When the breeding season arrives, a layer of 3 to 5 cm thick sawdust can be laid in the nest box and some soft weeds can be provided for peony parrots to nest. 3.3 When pairing, spawning, hatching and brooding enter the breeding season, increase the supply of eggs, millet and green feed to promote their estrus. Adult parrots are generally grouped, and they are allowed to pair freely. Pairs of males and females are separated from large groups. They can be kept in single cages for mating. Peony parrots typically produce 6 to 8 eggs per litter, sometimes as many as 10 eggs. The incubation period is about 19 to 22 days and is completely hatched by the female bird. During the hatching period, the females only come out of the water during drinking, feeding, and defecation. They leave the nest 2 or 3 times a day, and only go out for 3 to 5 minutes each time. Males guard and feed females outside the cave. The chicks leave the nest 35 to 40 days after hatching. After the chicks leave the nest, they still need to be fed by the parents for 2 weeks before they can live independently. At this time, the parents should be separated from the chicks so that the parents can continue breeding. Under normal circumstances, breeding 2 to 4 litters a year is more appropriate. The hatchlings matured six and a half months after hatching.
