It's almost summer What should I pay attention to when raising parrots?

1, the effect of high temperature on birds

Due to the high temperature in summer, the physiological function of birds will also be affected, some will have weakened appetite, listlessness and other phenomena, and some will even lose weight, so cooling down and relieving summer heat has become one of the daily priorities. Usually, they should be hung and placed to avoid direct sunlight, especially when they are placed, they should be placed in a ventilated place as far as possible to avoid diseases such as heatstroke caused by poor air circulation.

2. Adjustment of feed

There are a lot of nutrients in daily feed, such as meat, oil and medicinal supplements. So these foods should be suspended or reduced. It should be clear that any tonic should be carried out in winter, and light intestine-clearing feed should be given priority in summer, and the proportion of cool feed such as mung bean powder and mung bean powder can be increased in the feed.

Step 3: Take a bath

The weather is sultry, and bathing is an excellent way to cool off the heat. Might as well take a bath every day. Although it is hot in summer, the air humidity is actually higher, and it is easy to produce skin diseases or insects in the cage. If you have to leave, you should also leave the cage cloth half open and put it in the shade. Bath water is best used by a bird, which is beneficial to the health of birds and prevents the spread of diseases.

Step 4 walk the birds

With the advance of dawn in summer, the excitement of birds in the morning will be advanced accordingly. Try to catch this kind of stimulation when walking the bird, and the effect will be improved a lot. The time for walking birds in the morning is appropriately delayed, and the time can be estimated according to different situations in different places. The principle of walking birds is to get excited and turn on the sound.

5. Prevention and treatment of wound infection

In summer, wounds are prone to inflammation and infection, and poultry after fighting should strictly check their injuries. If there are scars, it is forbidden to bathe birds for a week or so. Add some anti-inflammatory drugs to feed or water to prevent wound infection and promote wound healing. When you want to bathe the bird, you can add some drugs with anti-inflammatory and disinfection effects such as potassium permanganate to the water until the wound is completely recovered.
