Shellfish, back, scientific name coal, is a more common songbird in the north. Because of its good name, there are many people who raise it.
Personally, I think that the call of the bird is very charming, and listening to its song is like being in the middle of a valley, above a clear spring. I would like to put on paper my views on the back and discuss them with you.
We want birds that are nothing more than long and beautiful, and have a loud voice and many sounds. Therefore, when choosing birds, it is necessary to choose birds with obvious male characteristics. Such birds are more adapted to the harsh living conditions, in the selection of mates more everyone buys backs, mainly in the big beat to choose, less than a dozen, more than a hundred, at this time how to choose it? It should be observed and selected from the three points of appearance, demeanor and posture.
The first is what the bird looks like.
The bird is large, long (long legs, long tail, long neck), wide head and face, (the brain gate should be wide, both eyes should be far away), the eyes should be large, outward rush, and there should be a god. The mouth should be long, thin and straight, and try not to have short mouths and water mouths. Short-beaked ones have the possibility of carpenters, easy to braze cage strips, and many of the water nozzles have the problem of liking to hide things. Slender-billed birds are more agile. Big eyes, outbursts, bener head, thin top hair, but single ** long and pointed, high T black breast when standing crest, to have a large black fork (Beijing called eight characters), dry, clean, close to the body, abdominal hair white net tight. There are also a few points that are not often noticed: a closer look at the hairs on the eyes of the birds will find that most birds are thin and short hairs, and very few birds are long hairs, and they come out upwards.
The above are the criteria for objectively evaluating birds with survival advantages, coupled with artificial aesthetic views: such as large and white bladders, straight sticks in the tail, standing tall and so on, which is the basic criterion when selecting raw birds
For the selection of chirps, the ingredients containing luck are higher, that is, we can only basically choose the size of the bird's voice, the chirping morning and evening and other characteristics. And there is nothing that can be done about what sounds can be called out. Birds with large voices must first grow thick enough, of course, this is different from the bloated shape of the bird. Rather, it means that the head and face of the bird should be "full", and the proportion of the body is large. Birds that bark early are relatively small, and birds that are too noisy or birds that are too chicken thief (dog instigated) will not bark too early. Birds with long bodies and soft personalities tend to call in a large proportion of slow tones, while short, thick, multi-voices are sharp. Then there is the look and posture of the bird.
Among the dozens of birds in the big beat, some are busy eating, some are flying around, and some are cowering in the corner. I think most of the clever birds are curled up in the corner, but be sure to look around with their eyes round, as if they are going to take off at any time, and grab a few bites from time to time. At this time, the bird can be caught and observed in a single cage. Generally speaking, when the bird is caught on the cage, there are many different manifestations, the strong physique of the large bird in the pickpocket is mostly at the level of the body, even the head is slightly downward, the hair is very tight, in addition to the claws, the rest of the body will not be attached to the cage strip, and from time to time shake the head left and right. When people are far away, pay attention to whether the bird has a tendency to turn over. People who have raised red children know what is called twisting the neck, such a bird looks beautiful, and there is a point to note that the bird song is actually the whole body is working hard, just like the person who sings the bel canto, must have confidence. Anyone who has ever raised thrush knows that the tail of the thrush is hooked downwards when it is chirping, and from time to time it is shaken up and down due to force. Therefore, we have to choose birds with flexible and powerful tails, so that the birds are more likely to call and rush later. Birds of the for food I think it is better to use peanut residue, once into the cage artificial rearing, you must pay attention to the amount of bugs, especially the birds that have just entered the cage, for the new food has not yet adapted to the relative stability of the food ratio. Of course, some people are used to using bugs to change food, but the habit of personal methods is just that. But we must pay attention not to repeat, that is, the amount of bugs must be diminishing, and not more and less.
It should also be noted that the new bird has just entered the cage, the physique is weak or even seriously weak, and many people feel that it is necessary to have a special high food tone in order to quickly round the fat. Actually this is wrong, and there will be more dead birds doing so. At this time, the food must be soft, in this period of life preservation is the key to the artificial food is to adapt to the artificial food after the circle up little by little, and the hard food will make the bird can not adapt, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction, but can not absorb. In particular, the amount of oil is very critical, if you are a bird seller, then I suggest you add more fuel, so that the birds can remain more active in a state of severe loss. But that lasts for a few days, and then after someone buys the bird back, it's hard to condition.
After a satisfactory back is selected to go home, it is necessary to cover it with a hood for a period of time, and open it regularly for a while every day. Gradually increase the time to open the hood.
When I feed my back food, I configure it like this:
Cornmeal 2 + Mung bean noodles 1 + Pea noodles 2 + Peanut noodles 1 + Egg yolk 2 + Finished red seed food 2.
Summer is easy to catch fire, you can appropriately increase the proportion of mung bean noodles, winter cold, you can appropriately increase the proportion of peanut noodles, pea noodles for round fat is very useful, but must use cooked, in the daily feeding, should closely observe the situation of bird feces, this is very critical, in order to adjust the food at any time. But be sure to fine-tune the main ratio of food can not be greatly changed back and forth. After a period of rearing, pay attention to whether the birds are on fire, if so, you can feed some cucumbers, spiders, corn worms. If the bird does not eat cucumbers there is also a way, remove the water can and food can, sprinkle a little dry noodles on the cucumber, under normal circumstances the bird will go to eat, and so it will get used to the taste of cucumbers after eating, but be sure to pay attention to the time of water stop, the back is small, can not be a long time lack of food and lack of water. The difference between spiders and corn worms in my opinion seems to be the difference between a human medicine supplement and a food supplement. After a period of breeding, the bird will generally go down to the bottom of the cage to sleep, and generally lean on the edge of the cage, shrink under the jar, bar, this is normal, bird is timid, so that it feels safe. For the problem of bird bathing, I think it is: under the premise of conditionality, as much as possible, a long time of non-bathing will seriously affect the feather quality of birds, the appearance of feathers, dirty gray color, like fluff and other symptoms. The bath must be shallow, and a little more than a centimeter is enough. Too deep for the bird to be afraid to go down, so he could only stand on the side and wash his hair. For birds that do not like to bathe, there are also certain methods such as:
1 First call the bath-loving to wash, and the other caged birds are watching from the side.
2 After noon, birds will prefer to bathe after lunch break.
3 After going out for a bird walk.
4 Pour a little water on the bar in the cage and so on.
How to distinguish between good and bad in the voice of the back?
birds (red, back, sunspot, dot, yellow-cheeked, etc.) have three sounds: single, flat, and treble. A good back child who calls has a lot of sounds, has a high voice, a loud voice, and a rush to scream, and after a while of calling, he must be able to change his voice by himself, and he must be called a slow tone. For example: Zi Zi, Zi Zi, Zi. It's not as good as: zi-zi-be, zi-zi-be, zi-zi-be, zi-zi- be, zi-zi( to be slow, a sound is called more often, double sitting).
It should be noted that the two backs should not be too close, it is best not to see each other directly, the of the birds have a strong sense of territory, which will make one of the birds be smashed, resulting in not loving to bark later.
