Breeding method of original hair thrush
First of all, we should carefully observe and ponder, understand the habits and dynamics of our birds, and take corresponding measures according to the dynamics, such as: where birds are suitable, where they are not suitable, where they are stable, where they like to bark, what birds like to eat and what they don't like to eat.
Second, always be careful. Primary cowardice, easy to look up. This is a common phenomenon. Be careful not to be frightened. Don't be too noisy, for example, when shooting, the porcelain bowl falls to the ground. It's easy to scare it. When holding a cage or feeding it bugs, let it know in advance, for example, make a little noise to prepare it to prevent it from being scared.
Gymnastics is as follows:
1, after buying raw wool, put it in a quiet place more than one meter high (don't hang it), open the lower triangle of the lid, let it see the light below, and you can see people not far away. Don't cover it for the first day or two, let it get familiar with people first, then take it to the bird walk field, crouch in a quiet place and cover it half, stay away from other birds, and so on. Feed it with bugs at home. It's best to hold the bug with long tweezers and feed it gently. Let it get familiar with people as soon as possible, the sooner it gets familiar with people, the better, and the sooner it starts. If you don't run away as soon as possible after buying raw wool, you will be more afraid than Mao Qi in the future. Another way to make it familiar with people as soon as possible is to take a bath frequently.
2, the original hair is stable, but also pay attention to stay away from nest chicks and old hair, and stay away from Wang birds to prevent being hit by other birds. Always observe the situation of your own birds. If you find it is not good, you must quickly cover the cage or move away.
Training techniques of thrush
Bird cage cleaning:
Usually, the disease that birds suffer from is a tumor between their toes, which is also known as the "urine pillow". These urine pillows; It is even more terrible than Hong Kong's foot in life, which often leads to broken heels and toes of birds, which is not conducive to jumping and standing. This disease is entirely caused by pollution. Therefore, bird breeders must clean their cages every day to maintain the health of birds. Because birds are in cages, they rely on their owners to provide protection for their lives. Is the environment clean? Especially enough to affect its health, so its birdcage should be cleaned at least once a day.
Fresh food
Birds hate to eat, but when they are hungry, they will swallow these stale feeds, and of course there will be gastrointestinal diseases, which will make Mao Song weak and die. Therefore, it is advisable to give enough feed every time. As for how much to give each time, it depends on the bird's daily appetite. It is best to wait for the birds to finish a meal and add food two hours later, so as to keep fresh and avoid accumulating corruption.
(3) The bird's body is clean;
Prepare another bath cage. The size of this bath cage depends on the figure of the thrush, and its shape can be rectangular. A cobalt box is installed at the bottom of the cage to hold water. The depth of water should be determined by the bird, and the water depth should not be higher than the bird's elbow. The daily bathing time varies with seasons, with spring and summer in the afternoon and autumn and winter at noon. Because of the high temperature in spring and summer, the skin is hottest and driest in the afternoon. If you take a bath at this time, the birds will be washed very hard. After washing, the body will be cool, they will sing, and the feathers will become smooth, healthy and lovely. When it is cold in autumn and winter, birds often refuse to take a bath, but it is warmer in the afternoon. If you do it at this time, you can avoid catching a cold and getting sick.
Some birds are too lazy to take a bath and have already rushed through the bath cage, but they still refuse to go into the water. It is not a good policy for bird feeders to give up halfway every time they are impatient. If a bird has a bad habit of being lazy to take a bath, it can spray its feathers with a watering can after rushing through the washing cage. Once a bird's feathers are wet, it will itch and have fun underwater. After the bird takes a bath, there are two things that must be paid attention to:
(1) Don't put it in the sun immediately, because birds' feathers are all wet after bathing, even if they are exposed to the sun, they will catch a cold, so they should slowly dry their feathers in a ventilated place after bathing.
(2) Don't put down the curtains before the feathers are wet. After a bird takes a shower, it won't dry when standing in the curtain. This is the place where skin diseases and feather worms are most likely to occur, and most of them will start from here. Especially when taking a bath in the afternoon, be sure to wait for an hour before putting down the curtains, and wait for its feathers to dry before putting down the curtains.
Pay attention to raising thrush
Thrushcross likes to be clean, just like people. It is necessary to wash bird droppings every day and keep them clean, otherwise not only birds will be uncomfortable due to odor fumigation, but also people will be affected by it, which will be harmful to health. Therefore, bird people should prepare two bamboo cages for each bird, so as to wash them in turn every day. Wire cages or artificial plastic cages are not ideal cages. The former is easy to rust, while the latter smells bad to birds. So you should know that birdcages are made of bamboo. These seven things, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, are the necessities of human life. There are three things to raise a thrush, namely water, grass and millet. It turned out that a thrush lived in the mountains, with vast land and carefree life. It looks for whatever it likes. Grasshoppers, mosquitoes, ants and grass leaves in the mountains are all its favorite foods, so it is naturally nutritious. It is locked in a cage, and it can't find food by itself, so it depends on its owner's supply. Therefore, whether it is raised well or not has a great relationship with his health. The three things of cage opening belong to daily supply and are indispensable.
(1) water:
Water is the most important feed. A healthy body can last more than fifteen days without food, but if there is no water for five days, it will die. So do birds. If they keep drinking water, they can last five or six days without eating, but they will die if they don't drink water for two days. For birds, the best water is mountain spring or Jing Quan. If tap water is used, please pour the water from the tap into the vessel, leave it for a few hours, and then pour it into the bird cup. If the water contains the smell of bleaching powder, it is not suitable for birds to drink, and other drinking water must be found. When the bird has lost its hair or its feathers are not yet full, it is of great benefit to give it a little mineral water every other day.
(2) Grasshoppers:
Thrush birds like to eat live food, and all small insects like to peck. People feed more grasshoppers for convenience, and birds like to eat grasshoppers. About 20 to 30 a day is enough, and a lot of them are wasted. But in winter, insects are dormant and difficult to catch, so beef, freshwater fish and crab meat can be used instead. It is best to use beef tenderloin, first remove its oil skin, wash it with clear water, cut it into thin slices, air-dry it in the sun, then chop it up, mix it with millet and egg yolk powder, and peck it. Moreover, the thrush molts once every autumn, and at this time, its physical strength is the weakest. In addition to not letting it fight, in order to help it grow new feathers after depilation, it should also be fed with Redmi's sheep brain. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, cleaning Redmi, drying in the sun, then mixing with raw sheep brain, uniformly mixing, drying in the sun, and feeding.
(3) Xiaomi:
Any kind of grain is the favorite food of thrush, so millet has become the staple food and the most convenient feed for thrush breeders to feed birds. There are two ways to make it: one is baking in the sun, and the other is baking with slow fire.
Regardless of rice and millet, they should be soaked in clear water and washed first, and then dried. After that, it should be mixed with egg yolk, dried in summer and autumn and baked in spring and summer. Because chestnuts don't dry in the sun, birds are peaceful and easy to fall off. Having sex in spring and summer, feeding chestnut can promote its activities. However, it is not advisable to use oil frying pan and shovel when baking, and thrush is the most taboo for oil and gas, so when baking with alkanes, the frying pan must be cleaned before cooking and baking. Dry or roasted rice chestnuts must be stored in cans to avoid being damp and moldy. Deteriorated bird food has no nutrition. If you are not worried, you'd better prepare it once a week. Using four ounces of millet and two egg yolks every time will be very fresh, increase the appetite of birds and save other non-staple foods. The above three kinds are the most basic feed for thrush and indispensable bird food.
Thrush taming skill
Inevitably, a bird entered the cage, panicked and bumped blindly, resulting in hair loss and tail loss. Mr. Luo, an expert in thrush training in Taichung, told me that these two methods have been tried by old urchins and have achieved quick results, so I posted them here to share with netizens.
First, strictly control the feeding amount of new birds, so that they won't die, but they can't really eat (the feeding amount is about half a spoon a day). Because they are often in a state of semi-starvation, the physical strength of running around is bound to gradually decline. When they are unlikely to fly around again, hold a bread bug in your hand and let it creep naturally in front of your eyes. Soon, the thrush will eat the bread worm in the master's hand, and the master will eat it. After several days of continuous implementation, the new bird will not panic when it meets people. As soon as the owner raises his hand, he will concentrate on eating bugs. At this time, the thrush can be moved to a round cage, and the owner can hear the thrush's song.
Second, prepare two bamboo cages. When you are free every day, drive the bird out of the cage. Every two days, once it gets used to the new cage, it is driven out of another bamboo cage. Within two weeks, the new bird has been tamed, and even if it is difficult to tame, its anger is rare.
In the process of taming birds, no matter what method is used, the cleaner the feed, the better. Additives such as egg yolk must not be added to avoid increasing the difficulty of taming (generally, chicken feed from Taitang or No.7 feed from Meijian is used).
Feeding method of thrush
Cage selection
A thrush cage should be used to domesticate thrush, neither too big nor too small, and the shape is suitable. In China, the traditional thrush cages from ancient times to the present are round cages, generally 32 cm high and 22 cm wide. It is covered with cloth outside, with fine sand at the bottom, and containers for food and water are hung inside.
Select seeds
One is to choose chickens. You can sing that year; It is difficult for mother to tame thrush. Some people say it's good to sing for three years.
Second, it is best to choose people with tight feathers, bright eyes, lively jumping, big appetite and good singing.
fodder
Feeding compound feed:
① Young thrush: mung bean powder, eel paste, tomatoes, boiled eggs, mixed with water, and fed with wooden sticks. Feed it five times a day. Some families use live insects or soft fruits to lure food. When blackbirds start pecking, they gradually increase the yolk powder and feed them regularly.
2 adult eyebrows: feed eggs, feed rice and feed meat. Processing method: put the millet in a pot and stir-fry until it is yellow but not burnt, then pour it into a basin. While it is hot, stir the raw eggs in advance into the fried rice, rub them evenly by hand, cool them and break them. The ratio of eggs to rice is generally 0.5kg, and 2-3 eggs are mixed. Mix beef, cut beef into two small grains of rice, dry and feed.
fodder
Insist? Polishing? At some point. Feed 3 times a day, starting at 7: 00 in the morning; Two quantifiers. Free to eat, eat properly; Three glasses of water. Provide enough water. Freedom to drink, not sewage.

Please note the following points:
① Don't directly expose yourself to the sun, but keep enough light indoors;
(2) Adhere to single cage feeding, one cage with one bird, and do not mix them;
③ Don't compete with other similar birds when domesticating chicks? Duet? But it is best for adult birds to sing in pairs;
4. Thrushcross likes to be quiet, so it should be covered in time;
(5) to prevent freezing feet in winter, hanging place temperature should not be too low.
