As we all know, birds originally lived in nature, and after constant domestication, some birds can live and even breed in captivity. However, compared with the birds in the outside world, it is still much worse, so few can reproduce normally under cage conditions.
In China, such as the thrush family, family, warbler family can survive under artificial feeding, but it is almost impossible to reproduce. Some species in the parrots, finches and ornithaceae can only be bred in the case of artificial cages. And there are only a few high breeding rates, let's take a look at their rankings!
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > eighth place: cockatoo</h1>
Native to Australia, he has a lively personality and likes to be close to people. New birds can breed when they are 8 months old, and the breeding season of the wild phoenix is often in August and December, and the domestic environment depends on the temperature of the environment, and in the more appropriate case, several consecutive breeding periods are also connected. Each clutch lays 2-5 eggs, basically one every two days. Incubation takes about 18 days to emerge from the shell, 30 days for the chicks to leave the nest, and it takes about 20 days to follow the parent bird after leaving the nest to live completely independently.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > seventh place: peony parrot</h1>
The peony parrot is arguably the smallest parrot species. Although peonies can be bred all year round under cage conditions, the main breeding months are in February-March and April-October. During the breeding season, only the mother birds incubate the eggs, laying 4-6 eggs per clutch. One is produced every other day, hatched for about 22 days, and the feathers grow into 30 days later.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > sixth place: colorful literary birds</h1>
Also known as multicolored literary bird, Hu Jin bird. At present, there are many breeds that are bred, and people are generally divided into Pucai and Gaocai. Captive-bred colorful birds enter the breeding period from October to April of each year, laying 4-6 eggs per clutch, usually starting to hatch at the third egg, and hatching for about 15 days. After 25 days of feeding, the chicks gradually follow the mother out of the nest to learn to forage.
The reason for the low ranking is that the colorful birds under cage conditions rarely feed their offspring after hatching young birds, so although the shell yield rate is high, the survival rate is very low, and the nanny bird is often used for incubating.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > fifth place: pearl bird</h1>
The pearl bird is very petite, with a body length of about 10 cm, and a delicate and gentle call. The suitable breeding temperature is 20-25 degrees Celsius, generally laying 4-6 eggs, starting to hatch when the third egg is laid, the incubation time is 14 days, and the brooding is 25 days out of the nest. After leaving the nest, it is necessary to live independently with the parent bird for about 10 days. Although their incubation cycle is short, the actual reproductive success rate is not high, and the most important point is that their courage is particularly small, so it often leads to a long time away from the nest, or abandonment of the nest. Therefore, friends with conditions will also use nanny birds to incubate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > fourth place: hibiscus bird</h1>
The genus Canary, due to its ability to sing, has become a popular choice for family caged pets. Their colors are also diverse, including white, gray, yellow, green, red and other colors. Hibiscus birds are kept indoors, and the breeding period can be advanced from February to November. 3-6 eggs are laid per clutch, one per day. Usually the cause of breeding failure of hibiscus birds is due to male birds. For example, chasing female birds interferes with normal hatching, and even fights with female birds to destroy the eggs laid. Therefore, although there is reproduction, the success rate of reproduction is still not high.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third place: gray and white birds</h1>
The White Bird is actually a mutant species of grey bird, which is strong and not susceptible to illness, making it suitable for novice breeding. It can breed 4-5 litters per year, and each litter can hatch 4-6 eggs. The incubation period is 18 days, and the incubation time will be extended in winter. The two parent birds take turns incubating the eggs, with the mother bird incubating mainly at night.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > second place: the tiger parrot</h1>
Native to Australia, due to its strong reproductive ability and many species, the tiger parrot is currently the most common caged bird in the world, with a total number of 5 million birds worldwide. Under cage conditions, breeding can be carried out throughout the year, and the breeding is weaker from January to May, and it is recommended as a rest and conditioning period for them. Each clutch lays 4-8 eggs, and the chicks break their shells for about 18 days. After the chicks are opened, people like to raise them artificially, so that the parrots will be more loved.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > first place: white-waisted mandarin bird</h1>
The white-waisted bird is also known as the Ten Sisters, The Nanny Bird. He prefers group activities and eats mainly plant seeds, especially rice. Easy to raise and easy to breed, indoor cage breeding, all year round. Each clutch is usually 4-6 eggs and the incubation period is 14 days. Once the breeding nest is found to be disturbed or the egg is perceived to be disturbed, the white-waisted bird with strong maternal nature will use its legs to carry the egg on its hips and fly to a safe place, and then return to the egg after the dangerous period has passed.
The above birds that can breed normally under cage conditions may have objections from other species, but the first white-waisted bird is unshakable, not only because of their reproductive ability, but also because of their excellent nanny, whether it is a bird egg, a pearl bird egg or a hibiscus bird egg can be well hatched, for the nanny bird This name can be described as a veritable name.
