How do parrots multiply?

Many lovers try to breed parrots in captivity, but if some people do not have problems with breeding, others go to a dead end. This process can not be called difficult. Just need to create suitable conditions for feathered friends and build a nest. But let's consider the multiplication of birds in order by the example of a very common type of wavy parrots.

How to make the parrots reproduce?

  1. At what age do the parrots multiply? Close mating for any creature is undesirable. Choose for reproduction of young birds from different places. Nesting parrots can begin and in 8-9 months, but it is better not to allow this. Females should be well developed, at the age of more than a year. The most productive they are considered in the 2 nd year of their life.
  2. In about two or three weeks, let the birds fly, which will improve their appetite and musculature. Add low-fat cottage cheese, boiled eggs to the food. Good for the metabolism of the germinated grains. Do not forget to put in the cage mineral supplements and chalk.
  3. Birds build nests in nature, but they can not create them in an apartment. If you are worried about why wavy parrots do not breed, then know that without a special "birdhouse" you can not do. You can build it from a plywood or a board, attaching your creation to the back door of the cage with the help of additional reliable fasteners. Instead of litter, use sawdust, but they should not be coniferous.
  4. The light day should be up to 14 hours, so in winter, use artificial lighting.
  5. Keep the room temperature stable, around 20-22 degrees.
  6. If the male does not interfere with his girlfriend, then it does not need to be planted.
  7. Eggs appear with a small gap (up to 5 days).
  8. In the case, as the parrots multiply, it is important to know the period of incubation. It is different for all kinds. For wavy parrots this period will be 18 days. In large birds, it is somewhat larger. For example, they sit on the nest for 30 days.
  9. If the male is caught sensible, he will bring the fodder to the female and she will regurgitate it to the chicks. In a week, the parakeets will open their eyes, and after 13 days they will be covered with down feathers.
  10. On the 35-40 day, babies begin to fly well and can be transplanted into a separate cage.

Nothing complicated in how wavy parrots reproduce, no. Observing the simple instructions, you can increase your number of birds, filling the house with noisy feathered children. I wish you success in this interesting business.
