01 Feeding a single food for a long time

Parrots are divided into vegetarians, omnivores, and fruit eaters, but no matter what kind of parrot they are, in nature, the food they obtain by themselves is rich and diverse, and different foods are superimposed. Different nutrients.

The daily domestic parrots are strongly dependent on the feeding of their owners.

Feeding a single food for a long time may cause the parrot's body to lack certain nutrients, causing health problems.

Many people believe that domestic parrots live longer than wild parrots. In addition to being protected from natural enemies, they mainly benefit from a healthy diet.

In the past, many people would only feed parrots a single seed food, or even just millet. Now more and more people are realizing that they need to give parrots a diversified diet. In addition to giving them one staple food, they also need to feed them a variety of food. More and more people tend to mix seed food, nourishing pills, and fruits and vegetables in different proportions.

02 Blind pursuit of obesity

Pudgy parrots look very cute, right?

Looking through various posts on the Internet, I often see people asking "How to make a bird fat!" "What can I feed to make a bird fatter?"

Attention! Blind pursuit of fatness is not healthy for birds!

Parrots, like humans, are healthiest if they are of moderate size!

A healthy Toriko can be meaty or lean, but do not pursue obesity blindly.

Some people feed all kinds of oil indiscriminately in order for the birds to become fat and cute. In the long run, the birds will become fat and diseases will come to the birds!

With improper diet, parrots, like humans, can suffer from liver disease, kidney disease, and even diabetes!

03 Use round cages

Traditional round cages are ornamental to some finches, but in fact this round cage is not suitable for parrots.

More and more people are discovering that parrots are accustomed to perching on the edges or corners of cages, rather than in the center of the cage, because this makes them feel more secure and comfortable.

The round cage has no hiding place, which will make the parrot feel uneasy.

In addition, parrots are climbing birds and they are used to climbing. In order to facilitate their climbing activities, it is preferable to use horizontal mesh and other easy-to-climb cages.

Netizen @ pickled fish went to the mall and found a peony parrot kept in a round cage for people to watch. Send for help. This situation is quite common. I hope more and more people will accept popular science.

04 Use straw nests

Grass nests are made of natural materials and have a certain degree of warmth, making them a good habitat for many birds. However, grass nests are not suitable for parrots.

On the one hand, grass nests are easy to breed mites. On the other hand, parrots have strong beaks and parrots also have the habit of chewing, so grass nests are easy to be destroyed.

Many grass nests are sewn with cotton thread. If the cotton thread falls off, there is a danger of entangling the parrot. The cotton thread is tough and difficult to break. At the same time, parrots often intensify the entanglement due to flapping in panic.

There have been many cases on the Internet of parrots dying due to grass nests.

05 Keeping parrots in a cage all the time

Except for some, some have formed habits due to being kept in captivity since childhood. Most of the caged birds, most of the parrots kept at home are eager to establish social interaction with humans. They are animals with high emotional needs.

Furthermore, parrots also need a certain amount of time and space to move around freely every day. In nature, they have a wide space to play freely.

Keeping a parrot in a cage will make the parrot feel depressed. In mild cases, it may become unhappy. In severe cases, it may develop stereotyped behaviors or even pluck out its feathers and cause self-mutilation.

Similar behaviors include covering the parrot with a cage cloth for a long time in order to restrict the behavior of the parrot.

06 Feeding human food

Some people think that sharing food with pets is a loving act, and some people think that it is too fun for parrots to snatch food, and they are lucky. Psychology: "It doesn't matter if you eat a little!"

As a result, this behavior got out of control.

For the former, do you want to eat parrot food? Or imagine a person raising a dog, and then eating dog food to express love?

The reason why parrots want to eat human food is partly because they are greedy, and partly because they find it fun.

As for the mentality of luck, you must know that many diseases do not appear all at once, but are caused over time. When chronic diseases develop, it will be too late.

Habits are cultivated. If you indulge them carelessly, parrots will even eat garbage...

For the sake of parrot health, cut off this unhealthy "fun".

Why not choose food suitable for parrots to interact with?

07 Irregular work and rest

Why are there so many weak and frail people in today's generation? Their faces look dull and their hair is thinning at a young age. In addition to stress, a large part of the reason is due to irregular work and rest.

Don’t always think about digging for some “innovative” scientific research to overturn “health has nothing to do with sleep”!

Regular work and rest is the foundation of health!

In nature, animals all follow the habit of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset". This is the operation of all things.

In modern society, people stay up late while taking supplements, and most people have been found to be in a sub-healthy state.

Some parents are used to keeping Birdbaby up late at night because "it doesn't look sleepy."

Please resolutely put an end to this behavior! When it’s time to rest, be sure to send Bird Baby back to rest. Don't make fun of Bird Baby's health!

08 Letting the parrot walk on the ground

There have been too many cases where the parrot has been stepped on. event!

The scene is not that a person sees a parrot and steps on it, but that when the parrot is walking around freely at home, it quietly walks under the person's feet, and when the person turns around and steps on it, or suddenly gets up from a chair, As soon as you put your foot down, tragedy will happen!

Parrots are unaware of many dangers.

Parrots are very smart, but parrots are not as smart as humans! What's more, as human beings, many people are not necessarily very smart, and various accidents often occur in life.

So don’t think the parrot will hide on its own!

Do you know how powerful a human's "light kick" can be?

The body of a parrot is fragile. If a person does not have time to feel the force, the parrot will be fatally injured!

09 Flying Blindly

Parrots are not pigeons! There is no "autopilot" system!

Even pigeons need to be trained, and some are actually selected by "elimination".

Similarly, the ability of some parrots to fly is also the result of many factors.

Anyone with scientific flying experience will have a system, including indoor first training, command command, and emergency landing, all with countermeasures.

Even so, there are many players whose parrot suddenly disappears one day and never comes back.

If you think about buying it back, taking the parrot out, throwing it out, and the parrot will come back automatically, you are a fool!

One thing to note here is that some people want to experience flying and think about safety, so they let their parrots fly wearing a flight rope several meters long.

Attention! When you want to let your parrot fly like this, be sure to pay attention to the surrounding environment, including trees and high-voltage lines. Once it gets entangled, you will be in big trouble!

The flying rope is used to restrain the parrot from escaping, not for "flying a kite".

10 Abuse of nutritional supplements

Many people are aware of the dangers of drug abuse. But nutritional supplement abuse is often overlooked.

Some people feed nutrients as water or rice, and continue to supply them in large quantities for a long time, thinking of supplementing nutrition. As everyone knows, it will be counterproductive!

Indiscriminate supplementation of nutrients and abuse of various vitamins will cause harm to the bird's body.

A healthy body never comes from consuming a large amount of products, but from a long-term healthy and balanced diet, regular work and rest, and a healthy mentality.

Okay! That’s it for today’s content. If you find it useful, please like and save it, and more importantly, forward it to people who have parrots around you.
