First, the breeding technique of budgies The budgies are also called Jiaofeng, Caifeng and Aso. Originating in Australia, it has been cultivated artificially and has become a caged bird in the world. This kind of bird has gorgeous feathers, is easy to raise, and can be bred in large numbers for people to enjoy. When feeding, pay attention to blowing the chaff inside the food tank. Wash the cabbage before feeding, sterilize (a thousandth of potassium permanganate solution is available), drain, and take it out the rest of the day. Pay attention to the health in the cage and always clean up the sand and excrement. Food and water tanks should be brushed 1--2 times a day. Although budgies are not afraid of cold, low temperatures can affect reproduction, so indoor temperatures in winter should not be lower than 0°C.

1, morphological characteristics. The budgerigar is a small species in the family of Parrot. The original species is mainly yellow-green. The head and back are yellow and have black stripes. The waist, chest, and abdomen are green. The tail feathers are yellow and the central two are blue. The cheeks are Blue-black round spot. Male and female birds have similar feathers. Only males have blue or white (estrus) or deep blue (old birds) wax on the base of the mouth, and females have waxy or pale flesh (estrus) or ginger (old birds). ), which can be identified. The artificially cultivated species have a wide variety of feathers. The main types are: 1 Ripple type: It is the most widely reared variety at home and abroad. The tiger's skin markings are similar to the original species, but there are blue, green and yellow colors. 2 yellow type: the whole body is yellow, red eyes, dark yellow and yellowish points. 3 albino type: body white, red eyes. 4 Jade head type: one kind of head white, other parts light blue; the other head yellow, other parts green. Are rare species. 5 light color type: can be divided into upper body dark yellow, lower body green and upper body white, lower body blue two varieties. There are black spots on the wings.
2, feeding and management. Budgies can be reared in pairs, but they can also be raised in groups. They are usually caged with wire cages or box cages with iron sheets. The space for each pair of birds should be more than 0.5 cubic meters, otherwise it is not conducive to breeding. The bottom of the cage should be made into a drawer type (pinned with iron) so as to facilitate cleaning and sanding. Food and water appliances should be deep and strong to prevent biting. The feed is mainly millet and medlar, but at the same time some hempseed or wolfberry seeds should be fed, but the amount should not exceed 10%. In order to ensure that the bird needs nutrition, vegetables (bok choy, rape) and inorganic salts (bone meal, oyster meal) should also be fed regularly. This kind of bird is resistant to roughage, and the concentrate feed should not be fed too much, so as not to cause the deposition of the moon's directional fat and affect egg production and reproduction.
3, breeding. Budgies are prone to breeding, but to avoid crossbreeding, keep this breed pure. For offspring health, 1- to 2-year-old parents should be selected. After mating, male and females will begin to lay eggs one after another. One egg will be produced every other day and a total of 4-9 eggs will be produced.
The hens will not leave their nests after the start of egg production until the end of hatching. During this period, they will rely on males for feeding. The incubation period is about 18 days. The budgies of the budgerigars are late birds and cannot live independently within 25 days of incubation. They rely on adult birds for feeding. The method of brooding the birds is as follows: The male feeds the female and the female feeds the chick. After 28 days of growth, chicks can feed on their own and live independently. It can reach sexual maturity when it grows to 5-6 months.
Second, the breeding technology of peony parrots Peony parrots are also called couples parrots, produced in Africa. Common black-headed peony parrots and brown-headed peony parrots are common in China.
1, morphological characteristics. Black-headed peony parrot, about 14 centimeters in length, with red mouth, white eyes and wax film. The head is dark brown with a reddish yellow ring around the neck. The upper chest is orange-red, with green back and wings, and black wings. Green tail, gray feet. Brown head peony parrot's head is brown, commonly known as brown head peony.
2, feeding and management. Artificial breeding of peony parrots can be kept in pairs or in groups. The space for each pair of birds must not be less than 0.5 cubic meters. The cage needs to be made of lead wire #12. The diameter of the mesh must not exceed 2 cm to prevent the bird from flying away. The bottom of the cage should be paved with fine sand, and the excrement should be cleared in time to ensure the cleanliness of the cage. Peony parrots are often fed to feeds such as rice, millet, and millet, and they can also be fed with hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, oyster powder, leafy vegetables, and fruits. Every day, we can mix medlar, rice and millet in a ratio of 3:2:2.
3, breeding. Peony parrots can reproduce in other seasons except the hot summer season. General female birds produce 6-8 eggs per litter, incubation period is about 19 days. During the hatching process, the males stick to the outside of the nest to take care of and feed the females, while the females always insist on hatching except for feeding and defecation. After hatching, the chicks are fed by the pro-birds, 35--40 days can leave the nest, only about 50 days can be produced independently, and sexual maturity is reached in 6 and a half months.
