1. Ignoring the abnormality of parrots p>
In the process of raising parrots, parrots will inevitably have the phenomenon of lack of energy and diarrhea, but many novice owners will understand these phenomena of parrots as being tired from playing or slightly catching a cold. The root cause of this happening is ignored. If the parrot has the above symptoms, it is usually caused by abnormal body. The owner needs to pay close attention to the parrot’s spirit and feces. If it continues to be in a poor mental state or has diarrhea symptoms, it is best to consult a veterinarian to take corresponding measures to treat the parrot.
2. Do not pay attention to cleaning the cages regularly
Cages are the main living places of parrots. In order to protect the health of parrots, owners must pay attention to cleaning and disinfection of cages. , and clean in place, thoroughly clean all corners of the cage. For example, if you don’t pay attention to cleaning the dung trays of the cages or only clean them without disinfection for a long time, the cages will become a breeding ground for bacteria or viruses, and then cause parrot diseases.
3. Blind drug use
In the process of daily raising parrots, it is inevitable for parrots to get sick, but some owners want to solve the problems of birds as soon as possible because they are worried about their health. The child’s disease, so blindly give it medication. This kind of treatment method is not beneficial to the parrot’s condition, but it is easy to increase the burden of the parrot’s own drug metabolism. Don’t panic if you find that the parrot is sick, let alone use drugs indiscriminately. If you don’t know how to treat it, it is best to consult a veterinarian for professional diagnosis and treatment advice. Symptomatic medication for sick parrots is the best way to solve their pain.
2. Common mistakes in feeding parrots
1. Overfeeding
When parrots survive in nature, due to the limited food, the food obtained by the chicks is often not enough to fill their crops; so when raising parrots in captivity, we should also pay attention to taking small meals and frequent meals. to be fed. Before feeding, it is necessary to ensure that the parrot has completely digested the food that was fed last time, so as not to accumulate food due to overeating, and cause the food to ferment in its intestines and cause crop inflammation.
2. A single diet
Parrots like to eat sunflower seeds very much, and some novice owners feed the parrots only sunflower seeds for a long time in order to save the time of preparing food for the parrots. It will lead to a decrease in the enthusiasm of parrots to eat, and even lead to obesity and nutritional imbalance in parrots, increasing the risk of parrot disease, because sunflower seeds contain a lot of lipids. Therefore, in daily feeding of parrots, attention should be paid to maintaining the diversity of parrot diets and ensuring that parrots have a balanced diet.
3. Food spoilage
Ensuring sufficient food for parrots and maintaining diversity has always been a problem for owners to raise and live, because blindly hoarding food for parrots can easily cause a lot of food spoilage. And because large-packaged pet food is always more affordable, most owners will still hoard more pet food, but once stored improperly, pet food will deteriorate and produce toxins, so spoiled food has also become an impact on parrot health. the source of the disease. Therefore, I would like to remind all owners to pay attention to preparing the right amount of food according to the number of parrots they raise.
