Question 1: Is it good to keep parrots at home? Cough! Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. In ancient times, having parrots at home was a symbol of wealth! If that doesn't work, have a good communication with him.
Question 2: What are the benefits of raising parrots? Performance talents
People love these beautiful birds and issue stamps for them, set up websites, organize conservation associations, and set up protected areas. They are even used as symbols of wisdom. It is regarded as the national bird in the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. The national emblem of this country is a macaw named "Cicero", which is a symbol of the independence and self-reliance of this Central American island country. Parrots are smart and good at learning. After training, they can perform many novel and interesting shows. They are rare bird "performing artists" in various circuses, parks and zoos, and are deeply loved by the public. They can learn various skills such as carrying small flags, catching food, riding bicycles, pulling carts, somersaults, etc. Parrots are closely related to the development of human civilization. They are also people's best partners and friends. During the long-term domestication process, parrots have brought people a lot of joy and can even help people cure diseases.
Imitation Skills
African Gray Parrot
The most beloved skill of parrots is undoubtedly the ability to imitate what others say. In fact, their "ventriloquism" is indeed very superior among birds. This is just a conditioned reflex and mechanical imitation. This kind of imitation behavior is also called imitation in science. Since birds do not have a developed cerebral cortex, they have no thought and consciousness and cannot understand the meaning of human language. There was once a unique parrot talk competition held in the UK, in which an inconspicuous African gray parrot won the championship. When the bird cage containing the parrot was opened, the gray parrot looked around and said: "Wow! Why are there so many parrots here?" The whole crowd was in awe. A few days later, the excited owner invited many distinguished guests to his home to celebrate. When he opened the curtain, he said, "Wow! Why are there so many parrots here!" The whole place was in an uproar. The parrot who thinks he is smart will say: "Wow! Why are there so many distinguished guests here!" But the owner who wins everyone's applause is very embarrassed. It can be seen that parrot learning is just a conditioned reflex, and its vocabulary is also limited. The short stories caused by "parroting" in people's lives have added a lot of conversation topics and jokes for people after dinner.
People like these beautiful parrots and can go to bird markets and zoos to see birds that have been domesticated and artificially bred. We all have a responsibility to protect them and not to buy wild parrots stolen from bird traffickers. There have been newspaper records that from the time wild birds are captured, transported long distances, entered the market, to being artificially domesticated, their survival rate is 17:1. It would be a real tragedy for mankind if one day these beautiful birds become the same as parrots and lorikeets, or simply disappear from the earth.
Question 3: Is it better to keep one parrot or a pair of parrots? This depends on many factors, such as family environment, economic conditions, raising methods, personal energy experience, etc.
If it is a pure cage and a small type, it is definitely recommended to raise them in pairs, so that they can experience the fun of reproduction, and the relative survival rate is higher. They can also help each other comb each other when they are itchy.
If it is a more expensive and large and medium-sized species, it is basically the most common situation to keep a single animal. Unless you only consider keeping two species, the degree of family relationship, cost and space requirements will increase, and the pet nature will be reduced. , it is generally not recommended to raise two dogs.
If you are considering hand raising, it is recommended to raise a single bird first, regardless of size. The last thing you need to do is to raise a pair of birds, one is tiring, and the other is easy to lose love to the bird, especially if you need to learn how to raise a bird. If you raise two individuals of bird language, the speaking rate will decrease and you will learn a bird's language.
However, it also depends on personal time and energy. If it is a large breed and you raise a single animal, and you do not have time or find a playmate for it, the possibility of causing depression is also high. It will increase significantly. Which method to choose depends on your goals and other comprehensive factors.
Question 4: How to raise a parrot? Tiger skin is easy to care for.
Give him a cage that can jump up and down. Clean and sterilize it with boiling water at least once a week.
A basin filled with millet (it is best not to use egg millet, it will Aphrodisiac, half the benefits and half the harms to the body),
A basin filled with cold boiled water, the water is changed every day
A bathtub (given in summer, choose a time when the temperature is high and sunny in winter) Pour some water on it once a week and it will be fine. If there are old people and children at home, or patients with respiratory diseases, place them in a place with less contact with them. Tiger skin has a little feather powder, which has a certain chance of causing respiratory disease attacks. Regular bathing will reduce the risk. This probability)
Cuttlefish bone (for calcium supplement, the mother bird should eat some when she is pregnant to prevent the mother bird from laying eggs and losing too much calcium. Eat your own eggs to supplement calcium. I don’t have it and I don’t want to buy it. If so, you can use egg shells to wash, dry, and grind the water into fine powder and mix with food/spread on the bottom of the cage)
Health care sand can supplement trace elements and minerals. It is sold on Taobao. How many times per pack can be used in a year? Yuan, a handful with your fingers is enough in two or three days
For fruits and vegetables, eat washed and dried vegetables, cucumber peels, carrots (birds occasionally eat them, but it is good for coat color), Try to avoid apple peels, other watery oranges, spinach and the like. Too much water will cause diarrhea. Just taste it once in a while. Too much is not good. Fruits and vegetables should be used twice a week. If you use too much, you will have diarrhea
Some people also try to avoid snacks that are high in salt, oil and sugar, which are not good for the gastrointestinal tract of birds (even though most birds have intestinal tracts)
Question 5: Are budgerigars easy to raise? ? You know, I definitely think that budgies are the best to raise. I just feed them millet and occasionally vegetables. I have been raising them for 4 years and have given birth to many little parrots. I gave them all to my friends.
There is no need to give him a bath. If you keep him in a cage, he will poop into the plate under the cage. Just wash the plate regularly. It won't stink.
They sleep when there is no lighting at night and do not bark. They usually bark during the day.
Hope this helps.
Question 6: Is it good to raise parrots at home? Feng shui? If you want to raise a parrot, then do it. Parrots have nothing to do with Feng Shui. If you don’t have anyone to keep a parrot, it’s best to buy a pair and don’t let it be alone. Then there should be toys for him to play with.
Question 7: Is it better to raise a myna or a parrot? 10 points. I have raised budgerigars, which were pretty good.
Question 8: Is it appropriate to raise parrots in a building? Suitable!
The size of the cage should be appropriate, not too small. It depends on the actual situation. It should be noted that the cage should be made of wire and avoid wood and bamboo strips, which will break quickly. It sleeps standing on a pole or cage wall. Generally, there is no need to build a nest. If you need to breed, you can build a house in a cage, but not too high. Sometimes the baby bird will fall out accidentally and the owner will not notice it in time. There is no way for the bird to get it back and it will easily die. It's best to put it at the bottom of the cage. Most of the food will be fed with millet, which is relatively cheap. If the conditions are better, you can choose millet, and the quality should be better. Once I bought millet, it would eat the skin while eating. Basically, it would waste a lot after eating a little. It’s also very chewy. This is the staple food. Sand is also necessary. Clean small-grained river sand is best. It’s clean and has less impurities. It helps digestion. If the standing pole is made of plastic, it’s best to put it in the cage. A wooden stick, made of pure wood, for it to chew on. Tiger skin is actually very easy to care for, and it is considered omnivorous. It will eat all fruits and vegetables, especially melon seeds and beet leaves. Spinach, cabbage, apples, and pears don't need to be prepared for it deliberately. Just the meat left over from the eaten core is enough for it to eat. Don't be too diligent and the water will cause diarrhea. You also need a sink. Clean the trough, sink and the feces at the bottom of the cage every now and then to make sure they don't get too dirty. Generally speaking, even if you forget or don't have time to care about it, it can survive just fine as long as you have millet and water! As for what you need to pay attention to, don't reach out to catch it when nothing happens. It will get angry and may make you sick or die from anger, especially when it is unhappy or wilted. However, if you catch it often, it may also develop immunity, but it is still rare. Good to interrupt! Another thing is, don’t let cats get along with it, Tiger Skin will be scared to death.
Haha, some experience, I wish you good luck!
Question 9: Is parrot fish easy to raise? How to raise it? Parrot fish is a tropical fish that is easy to raise. Due to the defect of its mouth, it needs a lot of oxygen and must be adequately fed. The water in this season shouldn't be a big problem now. The best temperature is between 25 and 28. You can just go to the aquarium to buy bait. Pellet food is fine, and you can also feed it with specialized feed.
Question 10: What kind of parrot is best to raise? For your request, only budgies cost 15-20 yuan each, and the cheapest peony parrots cost around 40 yuan.

The staple food is millet and millet, and you can feed it regularly with some vegetables and fruits (don’t feed spinach and pears).
If you want to feed it better, you can add some grass seeds, millet seeds, canary seeds, and other small grain seeds.
Other foods that can be eaten include melon seeds, hemp seeds, and corn. These three have relatively large particles and some tiger skins will not eat them (don’t feed melon seeds with spices).
Avoid sunlight in summer. If the bird suffers from heat stroke due to direct sunlight, prepare water to bathe the bird.
Bird health sand and burned briquettes are given to birds to help digestion.
Egg shells and cuttlefish bones are eaten to supplement calcium (cuttlefish bones are available in pharmacies, do not feed them if they have a salty smell). Feed whichever is more convenient for you.
Well, Tiger Skin is a good parrot with a mild temper. Whether it is close to people or not depends on how you raise it. Most of the birds in the bird market are afraid of people. It will get better if you feed it for a while. It depends on the owner. Inner patience, most of the people who play casually with their hands have been raised since childhood.
