After a parrot lays eggs, what should be done to ensure successful hatching?
After the parrot has passed the breeding period, it has successfully laid eggs. So, as the owner, what should we do to help the parrot to breed and hatch smoothly? The following are some complicated tasks, especially for those who have just started to raise parrots. By reading this article, you can also experience the fun of raising parrots.
First of all, the most important thing is to minimize interference. This is especially true for first-time parrots, who are not sure if they will be good mothers yet. In order to ensure the smooth breeding process, it is also important to keep the young birds away from the nest, so that they can have good mothering.
Position
So what other options do we have? Of course, this also involves a lot of logistical work. In order to ensure that the parrots have enough energy to help them, the people who take care of them must provide them with more nutrition. In addition, they must ensure that the food and drinking water are clean, the breeding environment must be kept dry and ventilated, and not make too much noise to avoid affecting the hatching of the bird’s nest.
Secondly, if the breeding season is midsummer or winter, the ambient temperature should be adjusted appropriately to allow for a better incubation period and reduce unnecessary physical energy loss. Of course, mating is not allowed in spring and autumn, otherwise it will increase the physical strength of the parrots and bring greater burden to their parents.
Also, during the breeding period, we have to provide them with the feed they need on a daily basis, and there is no need to feed them. This also leads to the excessive space in the incubator, which affects the hatching of the incubator. During the long incubation process, parrots will greatly affect all functions of the mother’s body. They also need to go outdoors for a while and relax their emotions to adjust their bodies. In addition, placing food in the breeding box will make the food more perishable, and after the parents eat it, it may bring adverse health consequences.
Hatching
Similarly, caretakers can check their eggs about 10 days after hatching, when they go out to eat. The exact time of the inspection also depends on the date of the parrot’s production. You can use your mobile phone flashlight to confirm whether the parrot’s eggs have been fertilize. If there are clear blood spots, it is a zygote; if there is no blood color and liquid still flows out, it is a white egg; at this time, the white egg can be remove in time to reduce the unnecessary consumption of the parents on incubation.
In addition, after hatching, the parents need to feed the chicks. So the daily feeding amount should be increase. In addition to providing energy for themselves, the parents also need to provide food for their offspring through regurgitated food. Therefore, it is important to give them enough food. With this careful care, both parents can get enough nutrition and thrive.
In summary, after laying the eggs, the owner has to do the following logistical work for the parents: feed them on time. Keep the environment clean, reduce noise interference. Allow them to be raise in a good mother state. Ensure that they can successfully hatch and feed the young birds, and let them enjoy the joy of raising parrots.
