Hello, hello everyone, I am a cook who was delayed by parrots, the last issue introduced a pair of tiger parrots raised at home, how to breed? After watching your parrot lay eggs, today and share with you how to raise peony parrots, in fact, raising parrots are the same, there is experience in raising tiger parrots, then peony parrots point a little, then raising peony parrots is very simple, so let me tell how to raise peony parrots.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > basic information about the peony parrot</h1>
Peony parrot, also known as lover parrot, love bird, is the general name of all parrots in the genus Peony parrot, peony parrot scientific name Agapornis, Greek "Agape" is the meaning of love, and "Ornis" is the meaning of birds. It is a small parrot with a body length of 13 to 17 cm, a weight of 40 to 60 grams, and a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > peony parrot species classification</h1>
Domestic bird friends divide the peony parrot into three categories, namely 1. Fei's peony parrot we commonly call: head peony parrot, 2. peach-faced peony parrot commonly known as: face peony parrot, 3. head class and face class descendants commonly known as: mule.
Head Peony Parrot: All species are prohibited from breeding in the country because appendix II of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species includes all head peonies. Flower and bird market sales of brown-headed peony parrot also belongs to it, head peony in China's pet market exists for many years, many head peony varieties far exceed the wild, then artificially bred head peony parrot, trade and breeding are required to obtain the approval of the Forestry Bureau can be, hope to raise head of the bird friends low-key, this year Shangqiu that side of the trade brown-headed peony parrot was caught, this year the price of brown-headed peony parrot fell to a price and the original tiger skin a price, many brown-headed peony parrot farmers have landed.
Parrots: Most parrots can be raised at home individually. For example, green peach peony parrot, yellow peach peony parrot and so on. Mule: This part is really not easy to identify, mules are relatively small mainly do not have fertility, most farmers will not breed such parrots, the family raised mules so there must be a head of peony parrots, afraid of the identification unit to treat mules as the head class to determine. I personally think that there are a few pairs at home, if no one reports it, there is nothing to do, and it is really troublesome to be found, so everyone can raise noodles on the line.
The difference between the head class and the face class: the eye circle around the eyeball has a whole white eye circle, then it is the head class peony parrot, referred to as the red-billed white eye circle. Using the exclusion method, then the light-colored mouth without white circles is the noodle class.

Peony parrot first of all to have a cage, a metal cage, otherwise the peony parrot will give you a day to nibble away, the food is mainly oily millet, melon seeds, hemp seeds, suzi, oats, canary seeds, yellow millet, five-colored millet, etc., drinking water we feed cool white open, summer a day to change, cold can be changed once in two or three days. Vegetables and fruits are given from time to time, once every two or three days in the summer and once a week in the winter. Trace element supplementation, calcium supplementation can be fed boiled egg shells, cuttlefish bones, or water-soluble calcium, electrolytic multidimensional can condition the parrot body.
People eat snacks less, especially theobromine-containing foods such as coffee, tea, chocolate, etc. can be fed, and avocados (or avocados) are highly toxic to peony parrots. Fried food, foods with a large amount of sugar, although once or twice the parrot eats it is fine, the long-term past must have a certain damage to the body of the parrot.

Of course, breeding requires a male and a female, so how to quickly distinguish the sex of the peony parrot? Peony parrot with hand to touch the cloaca is the most accurate, small birds many novices can not feel the feeling, more than 4 months of parrot is better to touch, generally we grasp the bird with our left hand, with the right hand to touch the file, the male bird can touch two hard bones, the gap in the middle is also very small, the fingers can not be pressed in, there are pointed protrusions. The mother bird will be able to visibly separate the two pelvises a lot, and the fingers can reach in to feel flat and non-protrusive. As shown in the following figure:
The peony parrot male bird is thin, small,pointed, standing with its head held high, with a straight chest, and gorgeous feathers. The mother bird is fat, has a large head, a round head, is quiet and not moving, and is lying on her stomach like a ball, which is a mother bird. As shown in the following figure:
There is also a way to see the tail: the tail feathers of the male bird are V-shaped, and the tail feathers of the female birds are bifurcated in a W shape.
Fresh, light, mischievous little parrot?
Breeding cheats: peony parrot breeding 8 months can hang the breeding box, it is recommended to wait for about one year old to hang the breeding box, the breeding box selection insulation effect is good sound insulation, recommended wooden vertical breeding box. Peony parrots can produce three litters a year, each litter of 5 to 6 eggs, novices will not take care of the baby parrot, then you can only wait for the parrot to lay eggs, let the mother bird incubate by herself and let nature. The owner of the bird only needs to replenish enough food and water, and the next issue will introduce you to the hand-raised peony parrot.
