hatching jade bird
Zhuanqingpu
More than ten years ago, in order to add some interest to my retirement life, I decided to buy a bird to raise.
Since I added this pair of White Jade Bird at home, my life atmosphere has become much stronger. You see, it is used to living in a cage and is free and free. It can be eaten all day long and yelled. Although the sound is not loud, it is melodious and melodious, both listening and not disturbing the neighbors. All the family were happy.
One day, the male bird suddenly became energetic and the chirping was loud; the female bird nodded to it frequently to show her goodwill. I understand that they have become formal couples and are about to reproduce. So I quickly installed a bird's nest in the cage. Soon, the female bird lays the eggs and starts hatching. After more than ten days, birds broke out. The mother's love of birds is no inferior to that of humans. The mother's bird lies in the nest all day long, stretching its feathers all over its body, covering the naked little baby, for fear that the baby will get cold when it is frozen. If you reach out to touch it, it will still peck your hand! This male bird performs her husband's duties. In addition to feeding the female bird in time, she also keeps feeding the newborn baby. The baby is so obedient. Whenever she hears the male bird standing by the nest, she stretches out her long neck, shakes her shaking little head, and opens her big mouth desperately, waiting for feeding. All of this constitutes a vibrant bird family.
The bird gradually grew up, and thin fluff grew all over its body, and opened its eyes. The female bird can get out. Since then, male and female birds feed their little babies together. The baby got more abundant food and grew up quickly. He took off his velvet, changed into feathers, left the nest, and was able to find food by himself. At this time, the male and female birds built their nests again and began a new hatching process. In this way, we have been incubating four nests in a row, and we have completed the annual task of reproduction.
This pair of white jade birds hatched more than ten birds in a year. I not only gave this little bird to my friend as a gift, but also sold a few! . My wife said happily: "It's really interesting to hatch birds. Let's raise more in the future!" So I added more than ten pairs of jade birds of different colors.
The scale of bird raising has expanded, and the problems existing in the bird itself have gradually emerged. Because domestic birds instinctively degenerate in hatching, some birds only mate and do not lay eggs; some birds lay eggs, but do not hold nests; some birds hatched babies and do not know how to feed them; some female birds lay eggs and were eaten by male birds... There are many problems. This forced me to select breeding birds scientifically, carefully observe the hatching process, discover problems in a timely manner, and take decisive response measures. At the same time, even if the birds hatched normally, the quality of their feathers will directly affect the quality of the birds. Some birds must feed them with pigmented diet before changing their feathers to make them colorful. I pay great attention to this point. The " Chili Red " little jade birds I raised all have bright red feathers and are very popular. Someone once named it "Cangzhou No. 1 Red". Although it is over-named, it also shows that its colors are outstanding. Because of this, not only are it easy to sell and high prices in the market, but people often come to my house to buy it in person!
As time goes by, my interest in raising birds has become more and more intense, so I later expanded from specializing in raising jade birds to a variety of birds and raised: Peony Parrot , white text, gray text, five-color text, Jinshan pearl , Ten sisters... I have raised and hatched many kinds of domestic birds.
After raising birds for a long time, there will naturally be more bird friends. These friends are different from those of the workplace in the past. These people come from different industries and classes. Everyone gets together, not so old-fashioned, not so rigid, not so right and wrong. Because they are all bird habits, they only talk about birds, and everyone is happy. It can be called a "birth source in the world."
Due to changes in the family environment, I have not hatched birds in recent years, but I still miss the days when hatched birds and miss those bird friends who are together day and night.
