How to raise a lorikeet and survive the winter? In fact, the basic precautions for raising parrots: 1. The ambient temperature should be kept between 12°C and 28°C. When the temperature is too high in summer, ventilation or humidification can be used to reduce the temperature; 2. Ensure that the parrots have enough fresh water and water every day. Green leafy vegetables; 3. Feed live insects to parrots more than once a week, such as silkworm chrysalises, cicada pupae, etc.; 4. Install enough cages so that each parrot can come out of the cage every day to maintain the freshness of the breeding environment; 5. Set up appropriately Planted forests allow parrots to have enough open space to fly and maintain sufficient sunlight and ultraviolet rays; 6. In winter, parrots should be kept warm and shielded from absolute zero or extremely low temperature air.
In the wild, most of the lorikeet's nests are built in tree holes, and a few will build their nests. Built on branches. The artificial nest in the bird farm is a ceramic barrel-shaped nest with a diameter of about 28 cm and a height of 45 cm. The top of the nest is sealed and the bottom is a shallow round basin that can be moved. Make a nest hole about 13 em in diameter at the top and install a short crossbar below it.
For parrots to enter and exit: Make a hole about 13 cm in diameter at the bottom. A movable door with a small hole is installed for observing the breeding situation, collecting eggs and chicks. Set up a small ladder inside the nest to connect the bottom of the nest and the nest hole. To make it easier for parrots to come in and out, lay about 7cm thick sawdust as a nest mat.
The entire artificial nest is fixed above the cage's movable door. The nest hole faces inwards. This is to facilitate breeders to observe the breeding status of parrots, retrieve eggs and chicks.
