Here we are talking about the pigeons that are raised, the pigeons are a cute bird, and how can it be called a love bird? How to say, the pigeon's companions are finally together after a lot of "pursuit" and "love", and a kind of animal that will not be abusive in life, if compared to the Mandarin duck, it may be more called a love bird.
Half of the pigeons for about 40 days, they enter a standard of adult pigeons, there will be performance of pursuit, they are each other to find the object of affection, and then into an inseparable love situation, even if one dies, the other will never have another performance of love with other pigeons, more is their own lonely aging. Compared with people, pigeons are more dedicated and more storied.
The growth cycle of the pigeons is not too long, about 40-45 days, basically completing the pairing period, incubation period, brooding period.
1. After the pigeons mature during the mating period, the breeder purposefully pairs the females and males into a pair and locks them in a cage, so that they gradually develop feelings until the time of mating and spawning is called the mating period. Most pigeons, during this time, will establish feelings, become loving "couples", live and produce together, until they are old. This period of time is about 10 to 12 days.
2. Incubation period After successful pairing, that is, mating and producing two eggs, and then the time when the male and female pigeons take turns to hold the nest until the shell breaks out of the chick, called the incubation period or incubation period, generally takes about 17 to 18 days.
3. The period of brooding from the birth of the pigeons breaking their shells to the independent life of the suckling pigeons is called the brooding period. It takes about 20 to 30 days. Pigeons are not like chickens, chicks can leave the hens to feed themselves and live independently after breaking their shells, but the baby pigeons do not, they rely on their parents to produce pigeon milk, and take turns to feed mouth to mouth. During this time, the broods mate again and produce another nest of eggs at the age of 2 to 3 weeks.
The pigeons grow to 3 to 4 months of age, are basically mature, appear in heat, mating performance, and have the ability to reproduce. However, at this time, it cannot be paired to reproduce, and it should wait until the development is fully mature before it can be paired and multiplied.
It can reproduce up to 8 times a year, and two small lives are born each time.
Wild pigeons can breed up to 8 times a year under suitable conditions, each time with two small lives born. The frequency with which pigeons breed depends on the abundance of food. It takes about 18 to 19 days for the young birds to hatch and break their shells, and parents feed the little ones with a special type of pigeon milk. The young pigeons that have just emerged from their shells double their weight in one day, but only after four days they open their eyes. After about two months, the pigeons are ready to leave the nest.
Pigeons are late adult birds, unlike other birds, when the young birds first come out of the shell, the eyes can not be opened, the body surface feathers, rare, can not walk and feed, need to be fed by the pigeon for about 30 to 40 days to live independently.
