Decorative birds feast for the eyes, sang joyful songs, always ready to talk with the owner, and most importantly - they do not want to walk. Not surprisingly, this is why our feathered friends is so popular. But, like any pets, they need care and maintenance. Let us recall the basic rules you need to know anyone who is planning to acquire a bird or have already done it.
1. When selecting the birds should pay attention to the neighbors in the cell: they must be healthy and frisky. If someone from the bird sits, hunched over, it is possible that the disease is near. You should also carefully look at the birds beak and feet. They should not be fungal growths and exfoliation. If the bird is too lax - there is reason to think.
2. Basis power feathered - is a grain feed. It should be in abundance. Typically, a mixture of different kinds of millet, oats, wheat, canary seed, sunflower, corn. In the mixture add nuts (walnuts, forest, hazelnuts, almonds, pine). In addition, parrots like fresh cheese, gladly eat white loaf, especially soaked in milk or tea.
Also, birds do not eat away chunks of carrots, pumpkin and raw potatoes. Flowers (marigold, dandelion, wild rose, marigold, etc.) help to keep the color of feathers. Do not give up bird and the green: fit leaves of lettuce, dandelion and cabbage. But feathered loved sweets should be given very limited, using them as an encouragement for learning.
The sand and egg shells are mineral feed, maintain the health of a pet and help digestion. And do not forget about drinking water, which should be at room temperature. It is poured into a glass dish of small size (height 3-4 cm) and placed on the bottom of the cell.
3. The proper maintenance and care depends on the activity of singing, reproduction and longevity of birds. Therefore, as the home for a pet is better to choose a metal cage, which the owner will be easier to clean. Sometimes buying cage of glass, in which the bird is easily visible from all sides.
For the most convenient form of rectangular cells. They can put one on another so that, if the content of several birds, they will not be annoyed. Size of cells must be such that the bird could move freely, and sufficient to ensure that it could install a couple of perches in one tier. Size of the house come in useful are: length 30 cm, width - 20 cm, Height - from 27-29 cm distance between the twigs - no more than 1,2-1,4 see the door is in the cage should be located on the side and the bottom should be double and retractable, so it was easier to clean the cage and hold it disinfected.
4. Feeders are open and closed (with a roof that did not get litter), ordinary and automatic. Automatic feeders are thick glass flask, which turned the mouth downward. In the flask is poured food, and as needed from the tube receives new grains. Automatic feeders are most convenient when you have some time to leave and leave your pet in one: a bird will get enough food. But conventional feeders that are placed at the bottom, often lead to unsanitary food.
5. Drinkers are also open and closed. In the first type of water troughs, water rapidly becomes contaminated and unacceptable for drinking. The most optimum choice - automatic drinking bowl, with a small nose, which hardly hurt bird's beak. The water in it for a long time remains fresh. Meanwhile, the usual trough (cup) should be placed away from perches to prevent water contaminated by faeces.
6. Bathing cleanses the skin and strengthens the feathers.Drinking machine attach to the outer side of the door so that in itself no water has entered the cell. Wash it should be daily. Despite the fact that many birds love to bathe, however, the process they need to teach from an early age: from the jigging of the females - after 30 days of age.
7. And please note that:
- People who suffer from allergies, not recommended Turns birds. While harvesting the cells in the air rises dust, which can cause skin rashes, runny nose, headache, and even higher temperatures.
- Feeding pets «mouth-to-beak» dangerous for health!
- Adult birds recover from various illnesses, even after recovery for a long time may be bacteria in the body, so it's better to buy young animals - chicks up to 3 months.
Observing these uncomplicated rules, you can find a reliable feathered friend, who will delight you with its high-sounding trills! Good luck!
