#Wonderful Animals #Hello, everyone, I'm the cook who was delayed by the parrot, and on August 31, 2022, the weather in Phuket, Thailand, was sunny, and locals gathered with their pets for a picnic in the park. Then the cook will take you to see what parrot species there are, and related knowledge.
Four species of macaws
Blue gold parrot
There are currently 17 species of macaws living on Earth, the largest of which is nearly one meter long and the smallest of which is only 30 centimeters. Blue Gold gang belongs to the entry-level large macaw, similar to the original species of parrots, because the blue gold parrot is the most abundant among macaws. Among the large macaws, the blue-gold parrot is called the glass macaw, and the color of the feathers of the farmer and the player's base is blue and yellow, referred to as the blue-gold parrot, which is more easy to understand. Average length: 76-90 cm, average weight range: 890-1300 g, of all macaws, blue and yellow are the easiest breeds to breed.
Multicolored macaws
The big name of the multicolored macaw is crimson macaw, because the wings have three colors of blue, green, yellow, and the body feathers are bright red, which is the most abundant feather among macaws, so we call it a multicolored macaw. Average length: 81-96 cm, weight: 800-1200 g. Multicolored macaws are very similar to green-winged macaws, and many bird friends may not be able to distinguish them, so teach everyone the little skills of differentiation. One: it is to look at the feathers on the back, the multicolor is three colors, more yellow feathers than the green wings, and the green wing wing feathers are blue and green respectively. Two: We can also see the face of the macaw, the line composed of red fine hairs is the red and green macaw, while the multicolored macaw face does not.
Green-winged macaw
The green-winged macaw is called red-green kongo, because the feathers on the body are mainly red-green, and the wings are green feathers, so we call it red-green or green-winged, and there are also some areas where farmers or bird friends directly call red kongo. Average length: 84-92 cm, average weight: 975-1450 g, is one of the more common pet parrots, artificially raised about 4-5 years to reach sexual maturity.
Spotted macaw
The big name of the spotted macaw is clown macaw, and the word clown is usually called unpleasant for ordinary people, and for other reasons, the market is called the spotted macaw. The spotted macaw is a hybrid breed of blue-yellow and green-winged macaws, because the number of female birds of green-winged macaws is relatively small, so most clown macaws are yellow-blue macaw female birds + green-winged macaw male birds breeding. Each foot has 4 toes, 2 before and after 2, the genes of the father blue-gold parrot are more influential on the appearance, and the main feathers are still mainly yellow, which is equal to bright yellow and a little red, resulting in an orange-red effect. Temperament and behavior inherit the advantages of both, and the personality is more docile.
Parrot Trivia: It is difficult for novices to breed large macaws at first, because parrots do not have much interest in mating and breeding, even if Wolverine plays together, they are not mutually exclusive, but they just do not approach the nest box, nor show any signs of mating, which even lasts for several years. The cook taught everyone a way to successfully stimulate them to mate and reproduce as soon as possible, that is, at the entrance of the nest box, place a thin wooden board with a 2.5 cm wide hole in the middle, that is, seal the nest box in a small part, block the breeding birds from the nest box, if they want to enter the nest box from the nest box opening, unless they bite the thin plank little by little, when they "destroy" this "obstacle" that we have deliberately set, it can often trigger their desire to mate and lay eggs. Once large macaws breed, they are able to fulfill their parental responsibilities.
