As the saying goes, "Everything is changed in full", which refers to the beginning of the replacement of feathers in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. In August, a large number of feathers fall off, and new clothes begin to be put on in September. The entire molting process takes about a hundred years. Depending on the weather, the moulting time may be delayed or advanced in different places. Moulting is the most important part of the annual feeding work. Whether the moulting is smooth or not can be directly related to Will the bird perform well in the coming year? Now we have summarized how to care for eyebrows during the moulting period, for your reference only:
1. Increase the daily growth of the thrush of nutrients, as well as expanding the nutritional richness. Everyone should know that when a bird moults, it will inevitably cause the bird to be weak to varying degrees. At this time, nutrition is the necessary energy guarantee for the bird's moulting process. During the bird's primary molt process, it should be included in the feed. Add a certain percentage of heat. Appropriately increase the amount of calcium, B complex, and vitamin E to achieve acid-base balance and unobstructed pores, laying a solid foundation for the next step. During the intermediate moulting process, the protein of the bird should be increased to increase the physical energy and provide a good basic guarantee for the latter. In the final stage of moulting, nutrition with greater energy should be added. High-energy and nutritionally comprehensive substances such as royal jelly can be added to the feed so that the dog can have sufficient energy to complete the final moult in the final stage of moult. Work.
2. Give the thrush a quiet environment. Breeding birds in cages in nature requires a process of getting into the cage. During this period, resting is another important process of moulting and is an indispensable part of the feeding process of thrush birds. An important missing component, resting work is also directly related to the quality of hair shedding. At this time, the thrush should put down the cage cloth during the day and let it live in a darker and quieter environment, with its physical strength fully restored and its mood completely stable, so that its energy can be fully utilized and exerted, so that it can achieve safe replacement. Mao's purpose. Or open the cage and rest. This is a method that is closer to natural molting. At this time, the cage should be hung low and placed in a quiet place so that the bird can molt smoothly while seeing people. However, the moulting time will be longer than the time in the cage. Some. But the hair that comes out is thinner than the former, which is also a method of hair replacement.
3. Do not walk or fight birds during the molting period. Birds during the molting period are like pupae and become butterflies. Diseases come and go like silk. Birds at this stage are weak to a certain extent, so they need to be well cared for. It is not advisable to walk the bird to avoid causing The bird's physical strength is exhausted, which affects molting. Not fighting birds during moulting is a combination of the former reasonIt is a protective measure used to ensure that birds moult.
4. Take less baths during the moulting period. Because the hair that has not fallen out during the moulting period of the thrush has lost its original luster, and the physical strength of the thrush decreases during the moult, the water cannot be removed from the bird in time, and it is easy to remain on the bird's body and in the pores. When folliculitis occurs, the thrush's metabolic function will change due to moulting, and a lot of capillaries will swell in its body. As soon as it takes a bath, it will inevitably peck its feathers with its beak. , it is very easy to cause capillary damage, so you cannot bathe the thrush every day during the molting period, otherwise it will be detrimental to the molting. On the contrary, if you don't take a bath for a long time, bacteria in the bird's body will germinate, resulting in skin itching and infection. The bird will also vigorously peck the itchy areas on the body, which will inevitably cause disadvantages in the growth of new hair. Therefore, necessary hygiene and bathing are still required. It is recommended to bathe the bird once every 4-5 days to keep the bird's body clean.
5. Minimize the encounter with the mother bird. At this time, you need to give the bird a quiet and calm conditioning period. If the mother bird appears at this time, the energy will be excited and dispersed, causing irritability. , which is not conducive to hair shedding.
