food
You can use the wenbird feed sold by the market factory as the staple food. You need to add shell powder and vegetables every day.
In winter or during the breeding period of birds, foods with high nutritional value such as sunflower seeds, millet or eggs should be fed.
Wenniao likes to play in the water. It is best to use a deeper ceramic water container to prevent Wenniao from flying into the feed box or water container and spilling all the water.

A normal birdcage will do, as long as it is suitable for the flight of caged birds. The cage of each pair of birds is at least 40 cm on each side. If birds are raised for the purpose of breeding, it is best to choose a bird box, because the bird box is wider and more suitable for breeding.
It is best to set two or three perches and a medium-sized bird's nest in the birdcage. It is best to choose pot-shaped bird's nest woven with straw, which can be bought in general pet shops.
When choosing the perch used by birds, we should pay attention to whether the thickness of branches is suitable for the size of bird's feet. If it is too thick or too thin, the stability of birds will not be maintained. When buying birds, it is better to buy them together in the store, which will be more appropriate.
other
Raising wenbirds is a lot of fun. You can not only enjoy breeding, but also enjoy playing with them in your hands. Female birds and male birds who have just been born for about half a year can live together. Putting the cage in a pot-shaped or platform-shaped nest and feeding some nutritious foods, such as millet and egg yolk, can encourage female birds to lay eggs. This highly nutritious food can be bought in general pet shops or prepared by yourself.
Eggs take 18-20 days to hatch. After the female lays eggs, she can return to normal diet. During the incubation period, the females must keep quiet and try not to disturb them. Activities such as cleaning birdcages can be suspended. After the eggs hatch, they should continue to be fed with nutritious food, and the mother birds should be fed to the chicks. If you don't want to develop a bird that you can play with in your hand, it's best for newborn chicks to be fed by their mothers until they can eat independently.
If you want birds to get close to people, move them from their nests to cages made of straw 15- 20 days after hatching. You can buy artificial feed in a pet store. Its ingredients are: grinding soybean, rice and plant seeds, then adding shell powder to mix, adding crushed millet before feeding, then soaking in water for half a day, softening, heating with low fire, and then mixing with vegetables. The cage should be kept at 25-30 degrees Celsius and the chicks should be fed every 2-3 hours. When you can leave the nest, you can move into a birdcage and feed ordinary food, such as soaking millet.
When you are free or feeding, you can let the bird out of the cage and play with it in your hand. If you often play with birds, birds will get used to being close to people. At first, when you play with it in your hand, birds are most afraid of being disturbed, otherwise it will be difficult to tame. Avoid sudden hand movements or sudden high notes at the beginning of training, which will scare the birds. Although the bird can play with it in its hand, it can't find its way home after flying out. If they accidentally fly out of the window, they may not fly back.
