I. What are the factors that affect the fertilization rate of parrots
1. Lighting time. Insufficient light hours may cause abnormal gonads in parrots, which may increase the chance of producing white eggs. Therefore, giving the female bird proper light can maintain its normal gonads, which has a great effect on improving the fertilization rate of the female bird. In addition, it is best to let the parrot bask in the sun in the morning. If the sun at noon is not very violent, you can also choose to do it at noon.
2. Nutrition. Before the parrot breeds, the owner needs to feed the parrot more fresh vegetables, supplement the parrot with rich vitamins, promote the bird’s absorption of calcium, and increase the nutrition. But also be careful not to add too much, so as not to cause the birds diarrhea. Also, be careful to wash the vegetables before feeding them to the birds. In addition, the parrot can also be fed an appropriate amount of egg rice, which is rich in protein, and parrot reproduction requires a large amount of protein in order to provide sufficient and necessary nutrients for parrot reproduction.
3. Selection of species. Breeders should try their best to select better quality breeding birds for breeding, which is an important prerequisite for improving the reproduction rate of parrots. If both breeding birds are infertile or the fertilization rate is low, you need to pay attention to find out the specific reasons for this situation. If you can’t solve or find out what the reasons are, it is best to replace the male bird first, so that the Females mate with other males.
4. Bird claw influence. If the bird’s claws are too long, it needs to be properly trimmed in time before the bird is allowed to mate. Because if the claws of the male bird are too long or curved, it is very likely that it will not be able to grasp the female bird well when stepping on the back, resulting in failure of normal fertilization and eventually causing the female bird to produce white eggs.
Second, skills to improve the reproduction rate of parrots
1. Planned Breeding
The sexual maturity period of different parrots is different, mostly about half a year, but it is best to let them breed after the parrot is one year old. At this time, the parrot has a better physique, stronger resistance, and lower fertilization rate. higher. In addition, the main feeder should pay attention to controlling the number of breeding parrots per year, and it is not advisable to allow parrots to breed frequently, otherwise it will seriously affect the resistance of the chicks, resulting in a low survival rate of the chicks.
2. Based on the physiological habits of parrots
It is difficult for parrots to come into heat in the absence of light. It is best to keep parrots with 11 to 14 hours of light a day, which can stimulate parrots Heat and enhance its vitality.
Reminder: Parrot breeding is not an easy task. If the owner wants to breed parrots, it is best to learn more about parrot breeding in advance The conditions that need to be met and the related preparation measures to promote the smooth reproduction of parrots.
