Extended data:
Tiger skins raised and enjoyed in China are caged birds raised artificially, and their physique is weak. Therefore, breeders should choose long, plump and energetic individuals for breeding, which is conducive to the rejuvenation of the population in the future.
Wild budgerigars live in groups, mainly feed on plant seeds and fruits, nest in caves, breed 1-2 nests every year, and each nest lays 4-7 eggs. The egg is oval and the shell is pure white.
The budgerigar raised artificially is very good at dismantling cages because of its hard mouth shell and flexible climbing with toes and sharp mouths. Therefore, it is advisable to build suitable cages and raise them with solid houses and metal nets. The room temperature should be kept at 5- 10℃ in winter.
