How to feed the bird that just broke its shell?

For vegetarian birds, breeders can prepare some grains such as rice and wheat for feeding, while carnivorous birds need to prepare some insects such as earthworms and breadworms for feeding. The gastrointestinal function of young birds is weak, so it is suggested that breeders adopt the feeding method of eating less and eating more meals, increase the feeding times and reduce the single feeding amount.

Feeding method of birds that have just broken their shells

When feeding young birds that have just broken their shells, they should first improve their food according to their habits. Vegetarian birds need to feed some grains such as wheat and cooked rice, while carnivorous birds can feed some meat worms such as earthworms and bread worms. Generally speaking, the slender beak is carnivorous, while the short beak is vegetarian.

It is not recommended to feed the newly hatched birds too much at a time, because their gastrointestinal function is not perfect. The breeder can adopt the method of eating less and eating more meals. Young birds under half a month need to be fed every 2-3 hours, every 4 hours between half a month and one month, and three times a day after one month.

If the young bird is afraid of the breeder, the breeder can put down the food and avoid it temporarily to eliminate the fear in the young bird's heart. If the bird can't eat yet, the breeder can pick the food to the bird's mouth and induce it to eat.
