A friend picked up a bird on the road again yesterday and asked me what I ate and how to take care of it. This is the third time he has picked up a bird this year, every time he takes care of it and grows up, he is also a good person, if he doesn't know that the last one is released, I doubt if he is a bird that he took out, haha.
Now this season is the peak season for bird breeding, I believe many friends will have such an experience, walking on the road suddenly encountered unknown chicks. They may have encountered bad weather such as wind and rain, or they may have been predators attacking the nest to force them out of the nest.
However, because they can't fly, and they haven't learned the skill of foraging with the mother bird, many times they are helpless on the road waiting for the unknown fate to come. Like wild cats, stray dogs, snakes, etc. may find them at any time as a good meal, it is also possible to meet a kind you, you will carefully pick them up, and even in order to keep it warm, hold it in your hand for a long time. But that's not enough, you need to know what kind of birds they are, whether they can be kept in captivity, what they eat, how they should be taken care of, and so on.
Today, I will tell you about the most commonly encountered this kind of Berau chick around us, and it will not be confused when we encounter it again in the future!
<h1>Berau's breeding</h1>
This bird is believed to be very recognizable, and can be distinguished from the appearance. In the south, it is common to have a brown back, which is characterized by gray from the head to the back, most of the rest of the body is reddish brown, and the wings and tail are black. Common in the north is grey berho, the main color of the body is gray-brown, the wings and tail are black, and the outer feathers of the tail are white.
When we encounter this young bird on the road, pay attention to whether there are small parasites on the bird, if you find other small insects on the body, you should clean it up in time, otherwise it will affect the development of the bird.
This bird is known as a small butcher, because the berau in the wild eats other meat animals, but also eats other small birds. When feeding, we can mix it in an indigo or flour (mung bean noodles, hard-boiled egg yolk, cornmeal, freshwater fishmeal or silkworm pupa flour in a 5:2; 2:1 ratio, or take two or three of them) and fresh minced meat mixed with warm boiling water to form a ball, and then roll into small strips to fill the feeding. Feathers are fed five or six times a day for unpioted feathers, and three or four times a day when they enter the blast period. At night, the proportion of meat is relatively increased, so be sure to feed it.
General breeding Beraudo recommends racking, and there are also cages used by myna or thrushes, but they are not as charming as racking. Because the young birds eat more soft food, excretion will be relatively thin, so we must pay attention to the hygiene of food and water when feeding on weekdays. After recognizing the dry material, in addition to giving drinking water every day, you still have to give a little wet material, and it is best to give some fresh meat. Live insects we can hold in our hands and feed them.
Berau is more afraid of the cold, in the winter, the temperature of the breeding environment is best to be above ten degrees, you can safely pass the winter, it is also worth noting that Berlau must not put other pet birds into a cage to raise, if you do not know put in a cage, it is likely to become a nightmare for pet birds.
<h1>Berau's training for hunting</h1>
Some experienced birds, in addition to successfully feeding them, another feature of raising Berau is to take it to hunt. It is best to use a cage for training hunting, and in order to avoid scratches and bites, it is recommended to bring a leather glove or canvas glove.
When training adult birds that are afraid of people, they can refer to the method of boiling eagles, consume its energy, do not let it close its eyes and rest, feed water white meat strips, make it lose its fat, and after three or four days it will become tame and greedy. Feeding the elderLy berau from a young age, relatives, generally do not need such a strict pre-gluttony training.
Training to fly hunting, you can first use the neck line, the length of the neck line is appropriately long, in the early stage, you can tie a sparrow in the wide room, in front of the sparrow, so that Berau is hungry to a certain extent will fly up to hunt. Once you catch a sparrow on the ground, you have to pick it up and give it its offal to eat. Multiple times in a row, and appropriately extend the distance to hunt food, you can train successfully in a week.
But note that every time you take it to hunt, you must be on an empty stomach, and then remove the neckline after it is skilled, so that it can hunt at will. The hunting environment must be less people and fewer cars to avoid frightening and causing Berlau to fly away.
Of course, for most people, being able to raise Berau is an accidental encounter, rarely trained to hunt, and for this kind of small "butcher", breeding is still a certain danger, especially in the case of small children at home, it is still recommended to raise up and release.
