You like to raise ornamental birds but do not know what to choose.
A synthesis of good ornamental bird farming experiences that you should read
before you start learning and raising ornamental birds.
Wild birds: are birds caught from the forest,
have not been tamed, reproduced in artificial conditions: lacquer, stingy,
persimmon, baron, lark, hump, cuckoo ... You are new person, inexperienced. Buy
familiar birds (birds that are purebred, are familiar with artificial food, are
familiar with cage life), should not buy newly caught guinea pigs (carpenters)
from the forest, survival is very little!
Talking birds: Some are wild birds, some are
breeding birds in cage cages: Vietnamese green parrots, Malay parrots,
Australian parrots; barracuda, flute, compulsive, crow. Should choose to buy
baby birds that are just beginning to learn to eat, birds are fat, so they have
relatively full feathers, can fly short distances. You will have to act as the
bird's feed nanny, but this will make it easier for the bird to get used to you
and learn to speak faster.
Small ornamental birds: Most people make small
outdoor bird cages to enjoy their diverse colors, observe how they nest, hatch
eggs, raise children; assign, create new colors. The song of the small bird is
not loud, often monotonous, but sounds quite funny. Especially in the case of
Yen singing (Canary), he can sing well, his voice is quite loud and can
reproduce in the cage.

Principles and experiences of choosing to buy
birds to raise:
Choose healthy birds, have fun dancing, and eat
easily
- Choose birds with bright eyes, do not shed
tears; clean nose, no viscous mucus; do not sneeze
- The coat is smooth, clean, pressed against the
body
- The smooth skin of the feet is a young bird
(the baby bird is small), the more rough, the bigger the bird.
- The bird's feet are clean, no lumps, no
scratches. Toenails are moderately long, straight with toes, do not curl, and
do not lose toes.
- The anus is clean, not dirty and sticky stool
- Turn the bird upside down on the palm of the
hand: the breast is soft, plump, with a thin layer of fat (proving the bird is
well nourished).
- Watching birds fly and jump: agile, not
deviating. When standing, all the toes are bent, firmly attached to the
roosting rod, the bird stands firmly and does not tilt.
These are general guidelines when choosing to
buy pet birds. The degree of purebred birds, good singing or not, can someone
with experience know. If possible, buy from an acquaintance or an experienced
artisan, and you will reduce the risk more.
Note: Newly bought birds, absolutely do not
breed them or keep them too close to existing birds at home. Isolation should
be monitored for a period of time, usually from 1-4 weeks, depending on the
type of bird and its ability to spread disease.
Otherwise, it is likely that the new bird, while
healthy, is a source of incubation, and will spread the disease causing damage
to the domestic bird.
Wonderful birdhouse designs
Fairy House
Design of barn: ensure ventilation in summer,
warm in winter. Depending on the actual number of peacocks being kept, the
narrow width of the peacock cage may vary. A standard box cell (can raise 4-6
individuals of adult birds, or 10-15 individuals from 6-12 months old), usually
with the following design:
Width: 3.5 - 4m
Length: 5 - 6m
Height: 2.7 - 3m
To reduce costs, you can take advantage of the
available warehouse, workshop, pigpen, chicken coop to transform into a peacock
cage. You should design an extra cage to take care of peacocks separately
during illness, or during disease monitoring to avoid infecting other
individuals.
Upcycled Teapot Birdhouse
Materials for cage construction: can be used
bamboo, neohouzeaua, or B40 net around or as a partition. The roof of the cage
uses wire nets to prevent birds from flying. You can also use plastic shingles
to roof the barn, and birds have shelter from the rain. Be careful not to use
small wire mesh or plastic wire as a partition, because birds will mistakenly
think that food is food, easily lead to perforation or kite.
