1, training pronunciation to avoid teaching ambiguous pronunciation.
When training myna to speak, you must practice in a quiet room. Noise can easily hinder myna's memory of words. Besides, we should avoid teaching difficult pronunciation or vague pronunciation, and it is better to teach some clean words.
2. Teach myna to speak on an empty stomach.
It takes 10 days to train myna to speak, and almost one sentence can be taught. The training period is about half a year after molting, and my memory is particularly good. Especially after bathing it or on an empty stomach, it is best to train it. It is better to train high-pitched women or children than low-pitched people.
3, insist on feeding the baby myna on the palm of your hand, so that it depends on your hand from an early age.
When myna can walk, she starts to train herself to jump into your hand to find food. The method is that when Hachi is hungry, he calls Hachi's name and lures it with food. Touch it when you feed it, so that when it grows up, you can touch it gently with your hand and it won't run away. Line into a fixed conditioned reflex.
When Hachi can basically fly, it has also developed certain habits. Then fly it to your hand with worms, so that after a period of training and a good foundation laid as a child, Hachi will be very obedient. No matter whether you reach out or call its name, Hachi will fly obediently.
The third stage: highlighting the theme of language training.
(1) This stage lasts about 2 months [i.e. birds are born in March to April]. A month later, it began to grow a feather crown, which indicates that the growth of birds is about to enter the youth stage. From the perspective of language training, this is a very important enlightenment period, which will lay a good foundation for later training, so I concentrate on language teaching at this stage.
I conducted a comparative experiment between the two groups. One group started listening to tapes every day from mid-August (after two months), and the other group started from mid-August (after three months). Play "Welcome" not less than three times a day, each time for not less than one hour. And insist on beating myna when she is hungry, and then feed her.
(2) I had expected these starlings to follow the recording, so I didn't teach them face to face until early June 1 1. Later, I found the voice of a myna and decided to start face-to-face teaching.
The effect is quite satisfactory. I learned to say hello from the day I got the first one from my mother's house! Then I took out more than 10, all of which were 1 ~ 2 days before I learned to say hello, and a few days later I learned to say welcome.
Although there is no difference between the comparative experiments, I still find that early education is particularly important for myna to speak.
In addition, up to now (65438+20041mid-October), by counting the speaking time of myna in batches, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the most sensitive time for myna to learn to speak is after growing a crown feather, that is, when myna is 4 ~ 6 months old! Missed this time, myna learned to speak for a relatively long time, although she still listened to tapes every day.
(3) Time and method of language adjustment:
Every morning and evening is definitely a wonderful time, especially when myna is scrambling to sing. After hearing the recording, I will imitate it before the next sentence of the recording comes out. Therefore, according to this situation, I chose the time to play the recording and the interval between each sentence.
When teaching face to face, at first, as long as myna pays attention, I will say it several times and then give it worms to eat. Every time myna answers, I want to reward bugs in time. I rarely only talk to myna, or I don't reward myna's response.
In practice, I found that teaching talking myna is much faster than teaching myna who can't talk face to face. So I suggest buying at least two myna, which can save a lot of time and energy in teaching myna to speak.
It is a common regret that myna doesn't speak as loudly as myna. I have made a lot of observations and inquiries, and I have personal experience. I think this problem is caused by the low sound of the speaker.
I have seen three myna who can only speak 10 ~ 20 sentences. One is raised by an old couple. First of all, the old couple raised them and taught them to talk to their grandchildren; One is cultivated and taught by young people. The first voice is very small; Second, if there is only one, the voice is very high; The third didn't whisper.
So I always teach myna to speak loudly. Training should have patience and perseverance. It is not advisable to be cold and hot, and to be near and far away. Although myna's own qualities are different and there are great differences in learning to speak, there is nothing that myna can't speak. In addition, through the efforts of external factors, it may also prompt myna to stimulate its internal potential in this respect. In addition, myna also has the phenomenon of "speaking late" like people, so we should not give up the language training of myna easily.
Frankly speaking, we have to admit that there are a series of "unique skills" in training birds to speak. The eighth generation "court bird trainer" was invited from Tianjin to Chengdu on the eve of the National Day the year before last, and taught a Thai stork to say a few words in just a few days. It is a pity that "unique skills" have only been handed down by ancestors, and the majority of bird lovers can only do their best. I believe that this "unique skill" is also constantly improving, otherwise there will be no vitality. In today's information age, the mystery of "unique skills" will be completely solved in the near future.
Before teaching, we should let myna live in a cage or a shelf stably, not easily frightened and tamed, and be willing to get close to people. Myna should be able to tame a person's hand, touch its head or front back, and let go of its anklet without flying away. The teaching effect of myna is the best.
training method
1. Training myna to learn words must start with young birds. Every time the young birds come out of the cage for about 15 minutes, put some foods that the young birds like to eat around the cage for repeated training (the climate is cool in the morning and evening in summer, and it should be at noon in winter, but it is cold in the north, which is more difficult in winter, so as to achieve the reflex condition that the young birds can enjoy food when they come out of the cage or enter the cage. When chicks learn to fly, the time reflex condition is basically consolidated at this stage, and more than half of the training is successful. In the future, every time you fly out of the cage, you should pay attention to reducing the shock. Don't be locked in the cage for a long time, which will affect reflection and consolidate the results. After successful training, don't forget to put some insects in the cage as a reward.
2. Time. Morning is the best, because birds are most active in the morning, when birds are not full, and the teaching effect is good.
3. Environment. Keep quiet, don't make noise and talk, otherwise it's easy to distract birds and let them learn sounds they shouldn't learn. Therefore, it is best to choose to teach in a quiet room.
4. content. Choose simple short names at the beginning, such as "Hello", "Welcome", "Goodbye", "Bye bye" and "Thank you". Pay attention to accurate, clear and slow pronunciation, don't use dialects, it is best to use Mandarin. Repeat the same words as teaching every day, and consolidate after learning. If you play it with a tape recorder, the effect will be better and it will be more labor-saving. Generally speaking, if you teach it in one sentence for about 1 week, birds can learn it. You can consolidate the theory for a few days and then teach the second sentence. If birds are more sensitive, they can also be taught simple songs. During teaching, birds should not be allowed to hear boring or inappropriate sentences. Birds' learning language is particularly sensitive in a short time, and it is easy to imitate all kinds of external sounds at this time. Once we find this sensitive period, we should seize it in time and make good use of it.
==============================
Beginners can read, talking about the training and cultivation of the eighth grade and chickens. Let's discuss it.
My understanding of male and female is that male sex shows off, which is the nature of birds, so learning English and the following sentences are more emphasized than mom's.
Females are more reserved and timid, so domestication and stocking are better than males. The key depends on whether you need someone who can talk or listen.
About feeding:
When I got the chicken, it was nearly 10 days, and it just came out of the fluff stage. The boss keeps a good job. A large group of people screamed as soon as they reached out.
Beginners are advised to take birds with them at this time, because birds are too fragile to distinguish their appearance in the villous stage or when their eyes are not open. Often die from improper feeding. Or cause lifelong disability.
Three days ago, I threw a box to feed them when I called them. You won't eat or drink at this time, so you must feed the water by hand. You can use straws, syringes, eye drops bottles or something, and pay attention to boiling water. Feed+water, mix until soft and wet, and knead to the thickness of earthworm. Feed a few mouthfuls of water before feeding, because it is right to drink too much water, and it is difficult for birds to eat when they are full. But my bird will choose its own food and water. When it wants to drink water, it will shake its head if it is given food.
Practice can start from this stage. Put the bird on your arm when you feed the water. Over time, you will get used to it, and you don't need to spend time training in the future. This is a crucial step.
After 3 days, you will fly low and enter the cage. You can remove the crossbar first. The bird's leg strength is not good. It is natural to jump around on the pole, so it is likely to break its leg. Be sure to cover it. No matter day or night, this is the only way to let him sleep or be quiet.
There are three key signals for growth:
1 You can jump and fly at low altitude, and you can enter the cage.
The blindfold turned white obviously (as if it had changed overnight). When I came to my house, there was no blindfold at all. I wonder if it is myna. Then I woke up one day and saw a white blindfold. Basically, I can cultivate myself to drink water, feed a small amount of water, and force myself to drink water from the water tank. Dip your hand in the water tank and check his mouth. After a few times, you will drink water.
I often peck with my mouth, so I can start training them to eat dry food. When he is hungry, put some dry food in his hand, taste it in his hand first, then ignore him and put it in his hand. If he is hungry, he will eat by himself. After a few bites, I continued to feed soft food as usual until I was full. Slowly increase the number of times you eat dry food, and over time, you will switch to dry food.
The water tank in the cage must be replaced every day, and it must be replaced immediately if the feces fall.
So is the trough!
About the daily activities of this bird:
It's usually around 7 pm. Go to bed at 5-6 in the morning. You will wake up. Feed it as soon as you wake up, and it's dangerous to be hungry after 9 o'clock. Generally, after a few days, you can feed at 9- 10 at will, because you are grown up and strong. Be sure to feed yourself before going to bed.
There are eight people in my family now 10pm every day. It's okay to sleep, so I'll feed it to 10, and he will sleep when I sleep. I didn't feed until after 9 o'clock in the morning. But it's best to get up early in the morning and feed it to make it grow better.
About training:
In fact, personally, I hope he will eat by himself before he has finished all the courses. Because only when you eat food can you seduce him and he will be obedient and domesticated. This is a long process and requires great patience.
There are many specific domestication courses, so you can refer to his own experience. Fly, fly, talk, etc.
Let's focus on this. When young birds eat, they will let go, and over time, they will have the habit of climbing up when they want to eat. Besides, if you don't use your hands, you won't feed it, so he knows that you can only eat the food in your hand. I won't dare to get started in the future, but it's a stalemate and time-consuming. So try to make him hungry, then pay attention to him, and don't feed him every time you call.
Flying is also a matter of patience. Birds are not recommended to fly, at least after the blindfold turns yellow, they can fly in the wild. Of course, no matter how big or small, you can fly at home or in a controlled space. The reason is that the birds are afraid to fly away. Because birds' wings are not strong enough, sometimes they can't return after flying out because of curiosity. I often stop at a high place and can't fly down or climb up. Stalemate is a waste of time, and birds get lost easily. Before flying, it must be put in a cage and hung outside the window to fully adapt to the surrounding environment. It will be much easier to practice at home before you are about 1 year old, during which you will have plenty of time to train in your room.
Bird bathing:
Bathing is complicated, but it's actually very simple. I haven't bathed him since I bought it. I just accidentally threw it into the basin when I washed the cage occasionally. I haven't bathed him since. Until a hot day, I took it out to dry all morning. I saw a strange drinking action at noon and did it again and again. The action is that the head keeps shaking and the wings keep shaking after entering the water. Because I used to raise tiger skin, I probably know the action of bathing. I took half a basin of water and made a loud noise to attract his attention. 10 minutes later, he went into the water by himself. Don't stop to accompany him when washing, and hit him with water. As long as you wash your back for the first time, you can go in by yourself in a few times. The key is patience+time. Be patient and give him more time. He will accept it soon.
============================
artificial feeding
Domesticating myna uses tall myna cages to raise more male myna, and the effect of raising young birds is the best. Eggs and rice are the best feed for myna. The preparation method of egg rice is: put the rice in a pot, stir-fry it with slow fire until it is yellow but not burnt, pour it into a basin, mix the evenly stirred raw egg liquid into the rice while it is hot, stir it evenly, cool it, break it and rub it. Generally, 4 ~ 6 eggs are added to each kilogram of rice, as well as ants, skin worms, shredded lean meat, tender vegetables and bananas. Is added appropriately. Myna has strong digestion and a large appetite.
Myna likes to take a bath and often sings in the bath. Once or every other day in summer 1 time, reduce the frequency appropriately in spring and autumn, and seldom take a bath in winter. In the water bath, the cage is often put into the basin, and water is added to the basin. The water depth is about to the joint of myna metatarsal, and the water temperature should not be too low.
Starling was born in the south, naturally afraid of the cold. Therefore, bird cages should have cage clothes, and they should be hung indoors at night, not at intersections with cold wind. In winter, we should always keep warm and let myna bask in the sun on sunny days.
Care and guidance
Generally, training should start with young birds, preferably newly changed 1 feathers.
3.2 Learning human language: Teach myna to learn human language after twisting her tongue. When training myna to learn human language, we should choose a secluded place and do it on an empty stomach in the morning and evening. When training, we should first cultivate the feelings between birds and people, get along with birds more, and the training content should be from simple to complicated. We should teach simple words, such as "hello" and "goodbye", and then teach long sentences. Food must be used as bait during training; A trainer should articulate and articulate accurately and coherently. Starlings can't pronounce human language as clearly as humans, so they can't be too harsh in training. Once they learn the sentence of 1, it will be easy in the future. If we use myna who already speaks human language, the effect will be better. After myna learns human language, people should often tease his theory and consolidate his achievements. After all, myna is an animal, and it is slow to learn human language. Trainers should be meticulous and patient and avoid rudeness, otherwise all efforts will be wasted.
3.3 Flying: After flying training, myna can listen to the master's password or gesture, and it will follow wherever the master goes. The 1 step of flight training is to train myna to get in and out of the cage (wear the cage and get off the cage when feeding). The method is not to put the feed in the cage first, then put the feed on the bamboo pieces and feed it in the cage. After getting used to this feeding method, the bird slowly moves to the door of the cage to feed, so that the bird stands at the door of the cage and feeds bamboo chips from behind the cage, so that the bird's head is in the cage and its tail is facing. The second step is to fly in a closed room. After flying for a period of time, move the cage close to the bird, and then put bamboo pieces into the cage from behind to lure food and make it jump back into the cage. 1 ~ 2 days later, you don't have to move the cage close to the bird, and you can fly far away in the future. The flight time of myna should not be too long, usually 12 ~ 15 minutes. Don't feed too much during the flight.
Myna can be put in a special cage with a sand stick bass in it. Young birds can also feed tofu with millet mixed with eggs and proper amount of water every day, steam it and knead it into small fine materials. Duck eggs can be bought in summer. Feed the stork powder twice a day, and then feed grasshoppers, earthworms, lean meat, bananas, vegetables and so on the next day.
Chickens are fed only tofu for 7 days, 10% tofu for 8-20 days, eggs and millet for the rest, and then a small amount of tender vegetables, worms and water. 2 1-70 days, feed 5% tofu, the rest eggs and millet, and then feed a small amount of tender vegetables, bugs and water. Egg millet changed from egg yolk millet 3: 1 to 1: 1, and the proportion of egg yolk decreased further after 70 days.
In summer, you can take a bath every day or every other day. Cages should be cleaned frequently. Pay attention to cold protection in winter, bask in the sun more, and cover it with cage cloth after sun exposure.
Myna cages include round dome cages, round flat-topped cages and square dome cages (both about 40 cm in diameter and height). There is a jumping stick, a food bowl and a water bowl in the cage. The bottom of the cage is equipped with dung boards and bamboo boards for placing meat. Put a cage coat on the outside.
After the purchased chickens can eat completely, feed them with boiled eggs, steamed bread, rice, tofu, insects, eels, frogs, beef or lean pork. Live eels and frogs can be chopped into paste. Feed 3-5 groups at a time until the chickens' crops are full. After feeding, use the dropper to absorb water and feed a little water into its mouth every 1-2 hours/time. You can put the furry chicken in a paper box with some rags in the middle, feed it and put it in the nest, and put the nest in the dark. It's best to feed the furry chicks together in a nest so that they can huddle together to keep warm.
Chicks who have already eaten food should add egg yolk rice and drinking water to the cage every day, and the amount should not be too full to prevent chicks from being picky eaters. Hang the birdcage in the window and outdoors every morning, breathe 1- 1.5 hours of fresh air, and then take it back to your room for rest and drinking. At noon, put the birdcage into the basin, the water should not be too deep, and the water surface is about 5 cm away from the bottom of the cage, so that it can take a bath. Remove the dung board at the bottom of the cage before taking a bath, then hang the bottom of the cage in the window or outdoor bright cage 1- 1.5 hours before taking it back to the room for rest. In addition to feeding eggs, rice and drinking water, chickens must be supplemented with some bait, such as egg yolk, lean meat and insects. Don't leave without eating or drinking. When taking birds out in cold winter, cover them with cage clothes.
Starling feed formula
There is a kind of chicken feed essence [according to the description, it is actually a special feed for one-day-old chickens, with high nutritional content and easy digestion]. The dosage of basic feed is 4 kg 5 yuan; 8 raw eggs, about 1 kg 2 yuan; A bag of fish meal [half a catty] 3.5 yuan; A bag of beef and mutton powder [two packs] 2 yuan; Beijing Kaiyuan One Bag Poultry Feed Premix [1 Two Packages] 2.5 yuan; 2 small bags of yeast tablets [50 tablets per bag] 1 yuan; Oil crops [raw peanut powder, raw sesame, etc. 】 1 kg 3 yuan; Half a catty of cuttlefish bone meal 4 yuan; Crushing means many eggshells; Some washed sand; The cost is calculated according to 23 yuan, which can be used to prepare feed above 7 kg, with an average of about 3.5 yuan per kg.
Use feedback: customers all think that the prepared feed is reasonable and acceptable. Compared with bagged feed, it is not only cheaper, but also the consumption of birds is obviously reduced. Birds are very strong after eating, so flour worms are no longer specially purchased to feed birds. Some customers add raw eggs appropriately after returning to China according to my suggestion, and the effect is better and the cost is reduced (adding1~ 2kg).
Preparation operation: stir the above feed and auxiliary materials evenly, then beat the eggs and stir with a wooden stick. After the feed permeates the eggs slightly, gently rub the eggs with your hands, and then dry them for storage. After the feed to be added with eggs is dried, it should be added continuously. Be careful not to add more than four eggs at a time. Too many eggs will cause feed particles to dissolve into powder.
1, bird selection
Starling's feathers are not gorgeous and her voice is not very pleasant, but she is not afraid of people, smart and good at imitating others. Some people spoil myna to let it play with others, but most people listen to it to learn to "talk". Therefore, the choice of male and female is not strict, and the key is to start feeding from young birds. But some people think that female myna is better at imitating than male myna. According to experience, myna with a jade-white mouth and orange feet is more "smart" than myna with a taupe mouth and brown feet.
2, the characteristics of cage
Birds of myna family, such as myna and myna, are all large caged birds, so the cages are bigger. Because of its various eating habits, large appetite and frequent defecation, the cage should have a bright bottom with a fecal support plate below. In addition, myna's mouth is strong, her body is healthy, and her cage should be strong. Generally, the height is 48 cm, the diameter is 36 cm, the spacing between strips is 2.2 cm and the thickness of strips is 0.4 cm. It can be made of bamboo or lead wire (No.14). A shark skin perches on a pole, a pitcher and a soft food jar. They are deeper, bigger and stronger than ordinary birds.
3. Feed and feeding methods
Adult birds use eggs and rice as their regular feed, and feed a soft food jar with meat foam, fruit (cut into small pieces) and powder (with thrush) every morning. The quantity is limited to 1-2 hours. Young birds can feed on powder and meat foam by adding water or using bananas to make mud. Pill feeding, 5-8 times a day. When the birds can eat by themselves, change to soft food, and add eggs and millet when the feathers grow up.
4. Management and training
Starlings have a lot of feces and a bad smell. Clean the bottom of the cage and the feces tray every other day. At the same time, birds should take a bath often. You can put myna in a water bath cage and let it take a bath by itself, or take a shower with a watering can and dry it in the sun after taking a shower. Change the water in the kettle every day, because you often rinse your mouth when eating soft food, which is easy to pollute.
It is best to teach birds to "talk" from young children to adults, and teach them on an empty stomach every morning and evening. The surrounding environment should be quiet and there should be no noise. If you teach, you should learn one sentence before teaching the second. Every time the birds make it clear, they are given their favorite food. Like bananas, insects, etc. It needs to be repeated many times. Generally, it takes 3-7 days to learn a sentence, and those who can learn 10 are excellent.
Using an old bird that learns to talk is the easiest way, and it will be quick to let the bird face the mirror when teaching. There is no scientific basis for the statement that myna must have some kind of operation on her tongue to learn to "speak". Because the vocal organs of most birds are the "vocal tube" and branches of bronchi located at the lower end of trachea, they sound through the contraction of attached muscles, while human vocal cords are located at the upper end of trachea.
Birds such as myna, myna, gray-backed married bird and myna with black collar can be raised in the above way. Giant pandas in pairs are mostly kept in big cages or houses with tree holes or wooden nests. Some zoos have succeeded in breeding.
==========================
I have eight data sources:
Chick feed is the main feed. Chick stage: add an egg yolk to the feed and soak it in warm water until it cools to room temperature. Then knead into balls and feed them to myna, two at a time. One is half to two-thirds the size of a thumb. Wet myna's throat with a brush before feeding, which will help myna swallow the feed.
When I grow up, I still give priority to feeding. I usually feed more fruits and vegetables, such as apples (cut in half or diced), green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, watermelons and so on. I feed lean meat twice a week, not too much at a time. Birds should be kept thick and fed too well, and they will not live long, hehe.
Guide to chicken bathing:
A month later, that is to say, it has been taken home for nearly 20 days. When the hair is completely cut, it will not be so smooth in the water for the first time. So we can use a method: put myna in the sun until its mouth is wide open, release it and put water in the basin (tap water is enough all year round, and myna is still very adaptable). If the first bath doesn't succeed, don't worry, continue the next day.
Matters needing attention:
Starling can't blow after taking a shower.
If the food or water in the drinking cup is contaminated by bird droppings, it should be replaced immediately.
On summer nights, don't put myna in a room where mosquito-repellent incense is lit or mosquito-repellent drugs are sprayed.
Try to hang birds high in order to prevent cats and children from doing anything bad to myna.
Don't bathe myna with warm water in winter, so myna is more likely to catch a cold.
Give myna enough sunshine time, because sufficient sunshine is beneficial to myna's absorption of calcium and the color of bird hair.
Starling has cold symptoms such as sneezing. Don't take medicine in a hurry. Observe for a day first. It's a three-point poison
Don't scare myna with sticks or other things, if you do. It takes a lot of effort to establish a good relationship again in the future.
Third, pre-flight training:
First, make myna familiar with the master's voice:
In fact, it's easy to do. Feed Hachi regularly and quantitatively every day, and call Hachi's name more every time you feed Hachi (should you give it a name when you buy it?
Intensive training:
Do it indoors, close doors and windows, and the family can train together. The host will hide in one place first, and the family will let the myna out (myna had better starve for an hour or two first). The host will start calling myna's name, and myna will ask the host for dinner because it has been hungry for two hours. Hehe, as long as myna finds you, she will be given a small amount of food as a reward, and it is best to use myna's favorite food, such as lean meat.
Myna trusts its master:
Myna is still released, please ask your friends (don't ask your family for help) and let them catch your myna on purpose. Then when you call myna's name, myna will fly to your shoulder or hand. At this time, you can "gulp down" your friend, and your friend can step back and train more. Generally speaking, myna won't leave you far.
Note: Even if myna can support herself in the future, she should feed Jabba more by hand.
B, myna hands-on training:
When Hachi is 25 days old, let him out of the cage, call his name and let Hachi put his hand in yours. If he doesn't know how to start, you can put his hand under myna's chest and lift it slowly, and myna will jump up automatically. At this time, feed Hachi again and practice a few times, and Hachi will naturally be put in your hand.
Note: Don't grab your Ba with your hand, even if it doesn't listen to you! ! !
C, myna regression training:
Put the cage on the ground, open the cage door, put myna's favorite food, such as bread worms, into the cage mouth by hand, say the password of "enter the cage, enter", and quickly put your hand behind the cage door while attracting myna's attention. At this time, myna will go in and close the cage door immediately. Through repeated training, the effect can be achieved.
Fourth, the outdoor training of flight:
Familiar with the environment:
I often take myna to a place (that is, the place where she often flies in the future). This place should have certain requirements: there should not be many animals such as cats and dogs, and it is best to be in an empty square or park, and there should not be tall buildings or Woods nearby.
Officially started flying in the wild:
Hungry eight or two to three hours in advance, so that starling is completely hungry. Open the cage door. Starling may come out carefully at first, but not in a hurry. I won't come out on the first day, I will continue on the second day, and I will continue on the third day ... Hehe, myna will train in the wild after coming out, calling myna's name, and only giving a small amount of food after getting started, and then the owner will gently put it. Myna will fly to you immediately, then you reach out and let myna stand in your hand, give food rewards, and then leave ................... to repeat this training. You can't let myna leave your sight for a long time.
Note: it is best to keep two myna, one in the cage and the other in the cage, and let them out circularly. This will be guaranteed.
In fact, to release myna is to starve myna to death. If you want to make birds obey, you can only use starvation. This method I mentioned also has obvious effect on training wild birds (I tried it last year).
Regarding the annual feed supply, let me talk about my method:
Spring, spring came back, foreign things revived, and after a winter of breeding, myna recovered her sexual ability. The same is true for male myna, because myna is about to enter the breeding period, so it is best to feed fruits and vegetables at this time to reduce sexual desire. You can feed two or three apples and pears a week. Feed two or three peanuts every day Peanuts should be sliced with a knife, then crushed by hand and put into feed.
In summer, after artificial autumn and spring, we should give priority to light feed such as fruits and vegetables. When the temperature is high, we can bathe myna twice a day to ensure that myna will not get heatstroke.
In autumn, birds begin to store fat, that is, fat, to prepare for winter. At this time, it is necessary to increase the proportion of fatty foods, feed more peanuts and meat, and relatively reduce fruits to ensure that myna can gain weight for the winter.
Feed less greasy food in winter, only half as much as in autumn. You can't let myna grow too fat in winter, which is not good for myna in spring.
After the summer begins, myna will enter the molting period. At this time, it is necessary to give myna enough water to bathe. If myna doesn't wash it, don't force it, and increase the amount of foods rich in vitamins such as fruit and calcium, because myna is in the molting stage and her physical strength is relatively high.
