People have food, clothing, shelter and transportation, birds have sunshine and rain, and they eat water, insects, vegetables and soil. Birds have the characteristics of birds, although it can't be generalized, but for larks, food, water, insects, vegetables and soil can also be regarded as the contents that can't be ignored in daily management. Here, I will talk about my breeding experience in recent years for the exchange of bird friends.
1, speaking of eating, insects and vegetables also eat. In a narrow sense, the index finger here is the staple food of larks. The staple food of birds is rice and flour. Rice is egg rice or other grain particles; Noodles are mung bean or pea noodles. According to personal habits and different seasons, I don't pay much attention to which one is the main one. For the sake of simplicity and convenience, egg rice is better cooked. Egg rice can be divided into raw egg rice and cooked egg rice. Raw egg rice can be mixed with chicken, duck, goose and millet, dried and rubbed evenly. Boiled egg rice is to stir the egg liquid and millet evenly, steam them in a pot, and then knead them and feed them. Similarly, millet can also be fried to brown, poured into the egg liquid, stirred evenly, rubbed dry and fed. Flour feed (hereinafter referred to as mung bean powder) is usually made of mung bean powder or pea powder and is generally used. One is that the nutritional index of green bean powder is better than that of pea powder, and the other is that there are few peas on the market. It is recommended to use cooked mung bean powder, which has no odor, poor viscosity and easy digestion. Easy to process and manufacture. After the mung bean powder is steamed in the pot, it can be added with insect powder, shrimp powder or vegetable powder in a proper proportion, rubbed evenly and dried, and fed with water in spring and summer, or it can be made into granules and fed all year round.
In addition to the staple food, Redmi (millet), millet (millet), hemp seed, rapeseed and peanut powder can also be used as auxiliary materials. The auxiliary materials are non-staple food, and some are supplied occasionally to avoid the single nutritional composition of poultry, which is not contained in many other crops except nicotinic acid peanuts. Secondly, as an auxiliary means to tame birds, they often hand over a hemp seed to make people friendly with birds and easy to get close to people, especially. It is beneficial to help birds strengthen their physique and spend the cold winter, especially in the vast areas of the north. It takes a day to chat with a lark lover at a time: shell feed helps to enhance the bite force of the beak, sharpen the tongue and improve the singing skills of birds, which is probably close to the effect of myna's * * * * * * *. Whether it is reasonable needs to be verified, I think so! It should be noted that auxiliary materials are auxiliary materials, so don't give more. If it becomes the main ingredient, it will increase the difficulty of feeding, and secondly, birds with high fat content will easily get angry.
2. Water is the source of life. Birds can starve to death within a certain period of time, but they can also die of thirst. Therefore, we should pay attention to observing the water bowl frequently in daily management. Tap water should be avoided in daily use. The quality of urban tap water is still relatively hard, and disinfectant is a big killer. So I insist on drinking birds with cold boiled water or bottled water all the year round. One of the most important indicators is that the water bowl must be clean, and the sediment and feces inside should be cleaned up in time.
3. The artificial feeding conditions of insects are poor. Usually, we should create conditions as much as possible to feed more insects, such as grasshoppers, grasshoppers, oil gourd (crickets) cicadas, cicadas, silkworm chrysalis and so on. , can be ground into a bowl, can also be ground into mung bean powder or egg rice. You can catch it yourself in summer and autumn when conditions permit, and go to the supermarket and vegetable market unconditionally. Some bird friends can go around in winter.
On one occasion, Cai talked with an old bird friend in the country about feeding larks. The old man is also simple: "Feed the birds if you can feed the chickens!" " Ha ha! Simplifying complex problems is a philosophy. Of course, people who have eaten eggs may not know how to feed chickens, but you can't feed chickens without green feed. Cabbage, rape, carrot, etc. A few birds can't eat much. Dig some bitter vegetables in spring, feed some rape leaves and celery leaves at ordinary times, and mix some egg rice or powder, which should be helpful for the healthy growth of birds. Of course.
5, soil lark is a terrestrial bird, usually bathing can not be separated from sand, cage soil is an essential part of the feeding process. Some bird friends like to use sand, which is clean; Some bird friends are used to using soil, especially some reddish-brown soil, which is deeply loved by larks. Bird lovers may be based on the principle of protective color. After a long time, correct the color of bird feathers, right? No matter what kind of cage soil is used, cleanliness is fundamental. You can change it once a week or twice a week. If you can't, you should always clean up the manure in the cage and scrub the cage, so that it will be refreshing, clean and refreshing, and the birds will be full of energy. Just when raising larks, don't just care about cages. Bird droppings in cages really don't look like birds. Speaking of soil, friends who are used to using soil don't forget to mix it in.
