How to manage parrots in summer?

1. In summer, parasites, bacteria and other germs have a large activity, and the feed is prone to mildew and deterioration at high temperature. Therefore, breeders must pay attention to adding less when feeding parrots in summer, and need to clean birds' food tanks and water tanks more frequently and replace drinking water in the water tanks in time. In addition, in summer, the owner needs to add a small amount of oxytetracycline and a small amount of disinfectant to the parrot's feed to purify the water quality of the parrot's drinking water.

2, pay attention to beware of mosquitoes. The harm caused by mosquitoes to parrots in summer is also worthy of the owner's attention. The parrot's mouth, feet, eyes and other places without feather protection are easy to cause mosquito bites, leading to inflammation and swelling of the bitten parts of parrots, and even bird pox in severe cases. Therefore, breeders should pay attention to bird cages to kill mosquitoes in summer. Breeders can use mosquitoes, ticks and mites to drive away mosquitoes in bird cages, but they must pay attention to controlling the dosage, reading the instructions carefully before using them and using them with their eyes. Alternatively, mosquito incense can be lit outside the bird cage or other mosquito repellent drugs can be used to drive away mosquitoes in the bird cage.

3. Beware of blood-sucking insects. Blood-sucking worms like to move at night. Once they are attached to birds, they will suck the blood of birds, infect birds with diseases, and even lead to the death of parrots in severe cases. This kind of blood sucking worm likes to lurk in the gap of bird's nest or in the trough of bird's nest during the day, and comes out to suck the blood of parrot at night, which appears frequently from March to September. It is difficult to completely eliminate blood-sucking worms, but breeders can take corresponding preventive measures against parrots. For example, the owner can kill blood-sucking insects by mixing some insecticidal powder into the filler of the bird cage. If parrots are accidentally infected with this parasitic disease during feeding, it is suggested that breeders use some less irritating drugs to clean their nests.

4. Let the parrot rest during molting. Parrots usually molt from July to August. During molting, breeders should pay attention to stop the breeding of parrots, and at the same time pay attention to the disinfection of bird cages and birdhouses, clean the feathers in rabbit houses in time, keep the birdhouses clean, and prevent parrots from being infected during molting.

5, summer also need to pay attention to prevent parrot heatstroke. Although parrots are not afraid of heat, they will get heatstroke if the temperature is too high. If it is in summer, we should also pay attention to prevent the temperature in the birdhouse and birdcage from being too high and ensure the ventilation of the birdhouse. In an unventilated environment, parrots are prone to heatstroke and may even die. If the parrot is found to have heatstroke, the breeder can add some Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid or vitamin C to its drinking water to help it relieve it. If the humidity in the aviary is low, the breeder can also replace the Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid with appropriate amount of water, and then spray it into the aviary, which can also play a role in relieving summer heat.
