Question 1: How many times does myna breed every year? Myna breeds naturally, with a breeding period from April to July, twice a year; artificially breeds, up to 5 litters per year.

In recent years, starlings have been able to reproduce under artificial breeding conditions. Starlings used for breeding should be kept in larger cages. The cage should be divided into two parts, indoor and outdoor. Each part is about 1 meter high, 70 cm long and 60 cm wide. Set up an artificial nest above the indoor cage. The artificial nest is rectangular, 40 cm high, 25 cm wide and 30 cm long. Perches should be provided in both cages. The performance of starlings when sleeping is that they are unwilling to stand on their perches, are excited and lively, and move in and out more. The male bird's call is louder and higher-pitched than usual, while the female bird's wings are drooping, shaking at a high frequency, and making a sound called "chichi, chichi", and then chases the male to mate.

Starling *** After mating, the female begins to build a nest. At this time, straw and other nesting materials should be provided. The female bird lays 4 to 6 eggs per clutch, with one egg being laid every day or every 2 to 3 days. After all the eggs are laid, the female bird begins to incubate them. During the incubation period, the female bird does not leave the nest box except for eating and defecating; the male bird also protects the nest. The entire incubation period is 15 to 18 days; after 18 days, the female bird will refuse to incubate the eggs, become restless, fly in and out, and sing continuously.

Myna brooding is an interesting phenomenon. In the first half month, the female bird mainly feeds the chicks with broken bread. After half a month, the male bird takes on the main task of feeding the chicks. The chicks' staple food is mealworms and other insects accompanied by calcium and other corresponding mineral feeds; the parent birds also feed their own feed to the chicks. The chicks can leave the nest after about 26 days of growth. The chicks can begin to live independently away from their parents in about one month. A pair of parent birds can produce two nests of chicks per year. Generally, chicks 10 days after hatching are most suitable for artificial domestication.

Question 2: Are the myna birds sold in the market bred or wild? Myna is the general name for birds of the genus Myna in the order Passeriformes, order Starlingidae, and family Myna. There are many forehead feathers, which are elongated and erect, forming a turban with the long feathers on the top of the head; the side of the head is either completely covered with feathers or partially exposed. The sexes are similar. There are 6 species of cyanobacteria, mainly distributed in Asia. There are 4 species including common myna in China. Common starlings are all black, with feathers standing upright at the base of the bill, forming feathers; the top of the head, cheeks, pillows and ear feathers have a green metallic luster; the rest of the upper body is stained with brown; the base of the primary flight feathers and the tips of the primary coverts are white, forming large white wings Spots; tail feathers black, except for the central tail feathers, all have white ends. *** Gray and black, the lower tail coverts are black with white tips. Starlings are common birds in southern China.

Those under 50 yuan are generally for breeding.

Question 3: Can Myna birds be bred at home? It is better to take them to the place where you bought the birds and let them help you, or find a specialized pet hospital. I once had a lovebird that was expecting to be given birth, and I wanted to incubate it at home, but it died. In the nest

Question 4: How old is the myna when it enters the breeding season? Your myna is ready to breed! The breeding period is from April to July. Can breed twice a year. They build nests in tree holes or cracks in buildings, sometimes using old nests of magpies, starlings, etc.; the nests are shallow bowl-shaped and made of straw, leaves, feathers, etc. Each clutch lays 4 eggs. Eggs are light blue. But if you are in the north, the chances are smaller. Unless heated. But I have difficulty in distinguishing the gender of the myna, and it requires a relatively large space. There is no problem in other aspects. What I didn't expect is that the parents of the myna are very responsible, and there should be no problems in incubation and brooding. Also, starlings are extremely xenophobic after pairing up, and you must not put other birds into their "territory", otherwise the consequences will be serious. My pair of starlings killed another starling that entered their territory.

Accept it

Question 5: How do starlings reproduce? Every April, prepare a breeding cage and put one male and one female in. The most accurate way to identify the male and female starlings is to look at them. PP, the one with a fleshy ball is a male, and the opposite is a female. Although it is old-fashioned, it is the most accurate. Judging from the appearance alone, the male bird has a roughly flat head, a thick and long neck and beak, and brighter feathers with green metallic luster. The female bird has a smaller, rounder head, a short neck, a thin and short beak, and the feathers are not as bright as the male bird. Once paired, prepare some straw.

The incubation period is 15 to 16 days. After the baby bird is born, take out the male bird to avoid pecking the baby bird to death. Feed the baby bird the amount of wet bird mixture, which should be dilute and add live mealworms. , the mother bird will feed it by herself. After letting the mother bird feed it for 7 days, it will be changed to manual feeding. From now on, it will be the same as raising the chicks.

Finally, let me tell you that your first breeding is very likely to be annihilated. Don’t be discouraged and work hard! I have bred 4 times and only succeeded 2 times. The key is that some big birds do not bring young, and they still Once, a male bird pecked it to death, so after the baby bird was born, it was necessary to take out the male bird. In short, it was more troublesome. Also, if you put many starlings together and let them mate freely, once the pairing is successful, you have to divide the eight into one. For a pair, keep them in one cage, otherwise they will fight.

Question 6: How to raise wild mynas. To raise mynas, you must first choose a good cage. Myna cages include round dome cages, flat-top round cages, vaulted square cages, etc. It is best to choose one with a diameter and height of about 40 cm. The cage must be equipped with a jumping stick, food bowls, water bowls, a dung board, a bamboo board for holding meat, and a cage outside. Usually, the meat is placed on the bamboo board to make it easier for the starlings to peck at it. The cage can be used to block the sun and keep the bird warm in winter.

In addition, starlings can take a water bath every day or every other day in summer. The cage should be cleaned frequently. In winter, pay attention to cold protection, bask in the sun more, and cover it with a cage cloth after exposure.

The chicks must be fed "formula rations"

The chicks are fed tofu or eggs and millet every day. Duck eggs can be used in summer, and grasshoppers, earthworms, lean meat, bananas, and vegetables are given every other day. wait.

The chicks are fed only tofu within 7 days, and only 10% tofu within 8-20 days. The rest are fed with millet mixed with eggs and an appropriate amount of water, mixed thoroughly, steamed, and kneaded into small fine ingredients. Feed a small amount of tender greens, small insects, and water. Within 21 to 70 days, feed 5% tofu, the rest is eggs and millet, and then feed a small amount of tender vegetables, small insects, and water. During this period, the ratio of egg millet to egg yolk millet changed from 3:1 to 1:1. After 70 days, the ratio of egg yolk to millet decreased further.

It is easier to survive if fed collectively

For newly purchased chicks, it is easier to survive if they are raised in a nest. The downy chicks can be placed in a cardboard box with some rags in the middle. After feeding, they can be placed in the nest and placed in a dark place. It is best to feed the chicks together in a nest so that they can huddle together for warmth.

After the chicks grow up to be able to feed themselves, they can be fed with cooked eggs, steamed buns, rice, tofu, insects, eels, frogs, beef or lean pork. You can chop fresh eels and frogs into pureed meat and feed them 3-5 balls each time until the chicks' crops are full. After feeding, use a dropper to suck water into its mouth and feed it once every 1-2 hours. In addition to feeding eggs, rice and drinking water, the young chicks also need to be fed some supplementary food such as egg yolks, lean meat, insects, etc. Do not deprive yourself of food or water.

When taking the bird out in winter, it is necessary to cover it with a cage.

Breathe fresh air

Mynas, like people, need fresh air, so hang the birdcage to the window or outdoors every morning and breathe fresh air for 1-1.5 hours. , take back the room to rest, eat and drink. At noon, put the bird cage into the water basin. The water should not be too deep. The water surface should be about 5cm from the bottom of the cage and let it bathe in water. The manure-holding board at the bottom of the cage is removed before the water bath. After the bath, the bottom board is added and hung to the window or outdoors to light the cage for 1-1.5 hours before taking it back to the room to rest.

Pay attention to the egg-laying period

Starling *** After mating, the female starts to build a nest. At this time, straw and other nesting materials should be provided. The female bird lays 4-6 eggs per clutch, with one egg laid every day or every 2-3 days. After all the eggs are laid, the female bird incubates the eggs and will not leave the nest box except for eating and defecating; the male bird is responsible for protecting the nest. The entire incubation period is 15-18 days; after more than 18 days, the female bird will refuse to incubate the eggs, show restlessness, fly in and out, and sing continuously.

Myna brooding is an interesting phenomenon. In the first half month, the female bird usually feeds the chicks with broken bread, and after half a month, the male bird feeds the chicks. The staple food of chicks is mealworms and other insects accompanied by calcium and other corresponding mineral feeds. At this time, bird keepers must provide fresh mealworms to the starlings in a timely manner. The chicks can leave the nest after about 26 days of growth. The chicks can begin to live independently away from their parents in about one month. A pair of starlings can produce two nests of chicks per year.

Question 7: How old do starlings need to be to reproduce and how to reproduce them artificially? As young as one year old is fine.

Artificial breeding technology for starlings is difficult and generally not easy to succeed.

Put two starlings over one year old into a large cage (put them out in March to April, as they will fight in other seasons).

The nest is made of a wooden box, square, with a hole in the middle and straw inside.

Question 8: After a few days of being flashy, wild mynas can be caught and brought home to raise. There is no point in raising wild adult mynas. Firstly, it cannot teach language. Secondly, it cannot be trained and released. It is already good if it can be trained and mastered. It is recommended that you do not raise it. If you like wild myna, wait until the chicks are on the market and buy a chick. Raising wild myna is pointless even for breeding. Don’t catch it, let it breathe freely

Question 9: How to tell whether myna is wild or not? The resources of myna are abundant in the south and there is no need for artificial breeding at all. There are currently no successful examples of artificial breeding, so now the myna is the most common. It's wild. If there are any, you can look at the bird's legs. The legs of artificially bred birds are very light while the legs of wild birds are dark red.

Remember to adopt it
