How to make peony parrot breed
1. Implement Planned Breeding
Although most of the peony parrots are sexually mature at the age of 8 months, and some even become sexually mature at the age of 6 months, it is best for breeders to arrange for the peony parrot to grow again after 1 year of age. Breed, because the peony parrot at this time has a stronger body, stronger resistance, and higher fertilization rate.
In addition, although the peony parrot can breed all year round, it is not recommended for breeders to do so. It is recommended to remove the parrot’s breeding box in summer, let the peony parrot rest for a period of time in summer, and breed the peony parrot. The frequency is controlled at three broods a year, because the breeding of peony parrots in multiple broods is easy to threaten the body of the mother bird, and it is also easy to reduce the hatching rate of the chicks and affect the survival rate of the chicks. 2. Pay attention to light and calcium supplementation
The survival and reproduction of peony parrots are inseparable from light. Generally speaking, peony parrots are difficult to estrus when the daily light is less than 8 hours. If the sunlight is more than 12 hours, the peony parrot will not only be in heat, but also accelerate the absorption of calcium in its body; when the sunlight exceeds 17 hours and the temperature is above 35 ℃, the breeding bird will begin to molt. Sufficient calcium in the peony parrot is very important for its reproduction. If the peony parrot lacks calcium, it is easy to lay soft eggs, and even eat them directly after laying fertilized eggs to supplement. Therefore, before the peony parrot breeds, the breeder should pay attention to maintaining sufficient calcium in its body. If it is lacking, it must be supplemented in time. The breeder can usually put a piece of sea octopus in the bird cage for the parrot to eat at will, which can not only supplement the calcium but also help the parrot to grind its beak. If the peony parrot lacks calcium in the body, it can be supplemented with soluble calcium. This method of calcium supplementation is much more efficient, but the cost is relatively high.
Note: For the parrot breeding season, the breeder needs to prepare a breeding box for the parrot in advance, and can add a small amount of egg yolk to the parrot’s feed, which can also help the parrot to estrus.
Warm reminder: Breeders should pay attention: Do not let parrots carry out inbreeding, although inbreeding between excellent species can allow future generations to inherit the advantages of the parent line However, if the selection is improper, it will cause serious consequences, so breeders should pay attention to screening parrots and try to breed parrots inbreeding.
