Wild thrushes in the mountains, all kinds of insects and wild fruits are its good meals, no staple food, complementary food. However, after the caged thrush, the food material has changed greatly, from eating insects and wild fruits to eating feed, and there is a staple food and a supplementary food. Therefore, feed has a very important role for caged thrushes, if the feed is not properly mixed, it will greatly affect the health of the bird, and greatly affect the fighting nature of the bird.

The importance of feed
Although there are many practices of thrush feed, there is only one purpose, that is, to make the thrush eat well and play well. Feed can be roughly divided into: plant staple food feed, animal auxiliary feed, omnivorous health care feed, irritating special feed and mineral compound feed, etc.; according to its ingredients, it can be roughly divided into vegetarian, meat and traditional food; traditional thrush feed is mostly due to insufficient nutritional standards, most of which are no longer used to feed fighting birds.
Feeding fighting birds with meat food should not be mastered. Birds eat too much meat feed, have diarrhea easily, are not awake when fighting, or do not have enough endurance. The use of vegetarian feeding fighting birds, to more with feeding insects, insects to wood worms, grasshoppers, crickets, earth dogs and other insects as well, ground spiders, wall pocket insects can be fed less.
What kind of feed the thrush feeds, you need to carefully observe, to see what kind of recipe material, the thrush loves to eat. Feed several birds with the same recipe, some eat well, some don't. If the bird is accustomed to a certain formula of feed, generally speaking, do not easily replace, the mouth of the thrush bird is "diao", as long as the feed is slightly changed, it can be "tasted" out, and some "stingy" birds will also appear anorexia. Of course, these are not absolute, some good character thrush, no matter what material it can adapt to, can eat well.
The feed of the thrush should be kept fresh, fragrant, and not allowed to get sour or moldy from moisture. The amount of feed prepared each time should be determined according to the season and climatic conditions, such as spring and summer rain, high temperature, high humidity, feed is prone to moisture and mildew, such as no storage and preservation conditions, feed should be less; there is a condition to store bird feed, more preparation is no harm. Autumn and winter have dry weather and low temperatures, so you can prepare more. Whether it is spring or summer, autumn or winter, the feed should be returned to the pot every 10 days or 15 days.

In addition to the feed, it is also necessary to feed the thrush some bugs. Thrushes like to eat many kinds of bugs, such as woodworm centipedes, crickets, grasshoppers, black ants, ground spiders and hundreds of other species. Most of these insects are eaten raw, but can also be baked crisply mashed into powder and mixed in the feed. But the roles played by the two are not the same, some are used for long stomachs, and some are used for "fire/sex".
