Breeding methods for embroidered birds
The embroidered bird is widely distributed in Asia and Africa, and has a circle of white hair around the eye, which is the biggest feature.
Embroidered eyes are very popular birds. The voice is beautiful and the posture is beautiful. It is a protected bird and is best purchased from a licensed merchant when rearing.
Dark green embroidered bird food
In the natural environment, the embroidered eye is an insect-based animal, and it is not easy to ensure the normal supply of bait, but due to the birds such as the embroidered eye and the yellow warbler, the history of pet breeding is very long, and other substitute feeds have been successfully developed. This artificial feed is a powder made from plant seeds such as soybeans and rice, and is made with animal-type shell powder. To feed, add a small amount of water, stir and feed to the birds. Feeding 2-3 times a day, it is not suitable to put food like grain all day long in the feeding container, let the birds eat freely. The nutrition of these staple foods is already very sufficient, and if you can feed some bread worms, spiders, etc., you will be able to win the joy of the birds.
Dark green embroidered bird cage: Small bird cages that are generally sold on the market can be applied. The use of smaller bird cages can stimulate the embroidery eye to often cry.
Others Since I like water baths very much, it is best to prepare a relatively large water container so that the birds can play in the water at any time.
Reared in small square or round cages. The embroidered eyes are lively and exquisite, and the jumping action is graceful, and it will hang upside down, hang on the side, look up, and roll over on the perch. Embroidered eye cages are usually covered with light color cages, and embroidery eyes do not like to be too bright and open. The water tank in the cage should be small, or a small sponge should be placed in the water tank to avoid it from reaching into the water bath with its head and dirtying the drinking water. Feed with embroidered eye powder, or with 100 grams of green head powder and 1 egg (steamed and ground into powder), which is fed in summer to clear the heat. In addition, you should often feed a variety of insects and bananas, apples, water chestnuts, etc., if you can feed honey once every other day, it is better.
The embroidered bird likes to eat insects and fruits, because the digestive tract is short and the food passes quickly, it is suitable for providing sweet, easy-to-digest highly nutritious feed. Generally, half of the ground corn flour (or chicken mixture noodles) and the cooked egg yolk (or raw peanut rice flour) are added, and 5% sugar is added to rub (or grind) as a standing feed, and some live insects, larvae, pupae and fruits and cooked sweet potatoes are appropriately supplemented. The fruit should be cut into large pieces and fed, which is convenient for timely removal and prevents birds from eating spoiled debris.
For newly caught birds, they can add water and porridge to the food smear, put a few live flour worms on top of it, or sprinkle flour on top of the cut cooked sweet potatoes and fruits. After the raw birds recognize it, they also have to feed the porridge powder for a long time.

2． Feeding and management
Wild dark green embroidered bird can be raised in a variety of small bamboo cages with denser cages (strip spacing of no more than 1 cm), and the more exquisite can be raised in a thin and tall square cage with a vaulted roof (17 cm× 17 cm × 24 cm). The bottom of the cage is a bright bottom, there is a fecal board underneath to support feces and dirt, 2 perch bars are placed in the cage, and 1 water tank and 1 food tank are placed each.
The feed is a mixture of mung bean flour, corn flour, soybean flour and boiled eggs, with a ratio of 2:1:1:1. Usually feed apples, bananas and a small amount of insects. In winter, to increase the calories, you can feed some walnut crisps. Some people in the north are fed sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes), but there is more feces, which is easy to contaminate the bottom of the cage.

Perhaps, these are unrealistic views. But on the road of life, the days with birds should be happy. Because we never lack birds and flowers in our lives. In a lifetime, a little hobby is very good. It's also nice to have a little love.
