One: Another name for fine budgerigar: mushroom budgerigar and budgerigar.
Two: the big-headed budgerigar breeds the small budgerigar, also known as the tiger, which is native to the Australian outback.
Third, the incubation period of budgerigar is 18 days (according to the geographical conditions, climate, temperature and humidity differences, it can breed all the year round, and the incubation period will also have some deviation, generally around 1-3 days), and birds can be fed for 35-40 days.

Budgerigars usually lay 4-8 eggs per nest. The incubation period is about 18 days. Lively and easy to domesticate, it is one of the favorite pet birds of our country, and the wild population is a national second-class protected animal.
Species characteristics
The big-headed budgerigar has towering head feathers, symmetrical spots (gills) on its face and purple-blue spots (gills) on its cheeks, and its body shape is about 1-3 times that of a tiger. Compared with tigers, budgerigar is gentle and doesn't like making noise. The budgerigar has a strong body shape, towering and diverse head feathers, handsome cheeks and domineering standing posture. It is the pet of budgerigar players in China.
Under normal circumstances, the average life span of budgerigar is 7- 10 years. It is about 2 1-28 cm long and weighs 45-60 grams. The head feathers of adult birds are solid colors. In the relaxed or courtship state, it can be seen that the head feathers are towering, the wax film and the base of the beak shell are dull, and the toes are light and fleshy. The bottom of the upper nozzle shell is covered with a wax film, and the upper nozzle shell is bent into a hook shape; Common budgerigars are yellow, green, blue, white and gray. Toe to toe, second and third toes forward, first and fourth toes backward, suitable for climbing on branches. It is more suitable for taking things and feeding. The tail is sharp and long, and the central tail feather extends like an arrow
Budgerigars usually feed on seeds, berries, buds and leaves of various plants. Due to the high quality conditions of artificial feeding, it is usually fed with trace elements in soft food.
The budgerigar is simple to raise artificially, easy to use, resistant to roughage, strong in constitution, not easy to get sick, and it is not difficult to breed when mastering skilled technology. Budgerigars have hooks in their mouths, are strong and like to chew wood, so they can't be kept in bamboo cages, but only in metal cages. And fixed at the entrance and exit of the cage door to prevent escape. As a leisure ornamental bird, it can be kept in a small electroplated metal cage with perches and toys for parrots to play with. As a breeding bird, budgerigar should adopt a large square metal cage, the size of which is 50 cm long, 35 cm wide and 35 cm high, and the bottom of the cage is provided with a drawer-type sand table (feces supporting plate) to facilitate the cleaning of feces. The budgerigar's nest box should be vertical. The size of the nest box is a small rectangular wooden box with a length of 20 cm, a width of 20 cm and a height of 25 cm. There is a partition in the middle, which is divided into upper and lower layers. There is a round hole in the upper layer leading to the outside, with a diameter of 6-7 cm. Put a piece of wood or a piece of wood on the upper and lower floors for easy access. Clean drinking water should be changed every day, and feces should be cleaned every week 1 time. Be careful not to sunbathe parrots under strong light in summer. Pay attention to keep warm in winter, and the indoor temperature should not be lower than 5℃. The temperature is high in summer, and ventilation should be strengthened above 30℃. Budgerigars like to eat grains with shells. Usually, millet, barnyard grass and millet are the main crops, and vegetables are fed 1-2 times a week. Oyster powder/bone powder/cuttlefish bone, AD3, grinding solution, multivitamin, cod liver oil powder and health red soil should be used as standing feed.
Budgerigars breed in autumn, winter and spring every year. In summer, due to the hot climate, continuous nesting not only affects the health of parent birds, but also significantly reduces the hatching rate and brooding rate. Young birds are in poor health, so they usually stop breeding more than in summer. The chicks stay in the nest for 34 ~ 38 days, and begin to live independently around 40 days old. Young birds are sexually mature at 6 ~ 8 months and begin to mate and breed. The best mating age is 1 ~ 3 years old.
Section two: the inheritance of budgerigar.
First, dominant inheritance
Simple explanation: As long as one parent has a dominant gene, offspring will have offspring with the same or similar traits.
Representative types:
Primitive species (normal)
Scales (bright decorative pieces)
Dominant brand
Crown species
yellow-faced woman-my wife
Second, recessive inheritance.
Simple explanation: both parents must carry the same recessive gene at the same time in order to pass on the recessive genetic traits to their offspring.
Representative types:
Grey-winged species
Invisible coat
Hua Le (Leisure)
Third, sexual inheritance.
Simple explanation: heredity is related to sex. The way of sex-linked inheritance is that if a male bird carries a gene, it can be passed on to her offspring, while a female bird with sex-linked inheritance can't have a gene, or it has a sex-linked phenotype, or it has nothing to do with the species, unlike a male bird, which may have a gene or a phenotype. When the male bird is sexually linked, 25% of the offspring with genes are of this species, and 50% of the phenotypic offspring are of this species; When a female bird has sexual relations, the offspring male birds carry genes, and the offspring female birds carry nothing.
Representative types:
opal
Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia)
Texas transparent body
albino
Lutino (Lutino)
Note: Other rare varieties are either compound varieties with two or more genetic modes superimposed, or varieties with an incomplete genetic mode as their genetic characteristics, and some mutations cannot be inherited and inherited.
Section 3: I don't know what to write. The technology of cultivating tiger skin with big head in China is not mature. If you have any questions, please ask them in the post. I will try my best to consult foreign players and attach the original text and translation as soon as possible, hoping to help players who like budgies. As I am not a professional English-speaking country, the translation may be rough. Please forgive me. If there are any mistakes, please let me know. If you have any deeper suggestions about the problem, please feel free to speak up. Please pay attention to your words when arguing, and don't damage your image. I hope that all the great gods will treat each other with courtesy, respect each other and enjoy our common interests together! thank you
Section 3: Feeding budgerigar.
After years of artificial cultivation and continuous improvement, budgerigar has evolved from a simple ornamental pet to a highly cultivated work of art. After so many years of domestication, budgerigars have basically lost their ability to survive independently in the wild. How to feed a strong and high-quality big head has become a problem that China players repeatedly think about. The following is a brief introduction to the daily breeding of budgerigars, combining my experience in raising budgerigars with my friends and the knowledge I have learned from foreign players.
Let's start with the budgerigar's staple food. Through various information resources, we can simply understand the recipes of wild budgerigars, which generally feed on seeds, berries, buds and leaves of various plants, so the main food of budgerigars is plant seeds as the first choice. The seeds of herbs, such as valley (red and yellow), millet (red, white, yellow and black), oats, grass seeds, black sesame seeds, canaries, etc., are closely related to the growth of budgerigars, and the nutrition of compound feed can completely meet the growth needs of budgerigars. These diversified seeds are rich in various nutrients. Players can search Baidu for accurate and detailed information and freely match them according to their seed attributes. However, we must pay attention to the extremes meet, and it is not a good thing to feed the big head too fat. Obesity can lead to reproductive difficulties of Viagra, leading to a series of diseases, such as lipoma.
Secondly, feeding green feed is also an essential side dish of a meal. Tiger skin can eat many fruits and vegetables, but how to choose safe fruits and vegetables? Conditional players can grow a small amount of vegetables by themselves. The vegetables they grow are clean and pesticide-free, so they should be picked and fed and kept fresh. If there are no qualified players, it is suggested to soak the vegetables in clear water 15-30 minutes after buying them, so as to dilute the harmful substances such as pesticides on the vegetables, separate them from the vegetables, then wash them with water and dry them for a while before feeding them. The following vegetables are the first choice of many players: green vegetables, fennel, mung bean sprouts, broccoli, carrots, spinach (too much feeding will lead to calcium loss), cucumbers, water corn and so on. Fruits don't need to be particularly rich, so it is recommended to choose apples first. They are found all year round in China, and the rich fruit acid is a high-quality element for tiger skin growth. The role of fruit acid players can be Baidu, which is beneficial and harmless. Just pay attention to the collocation of fruit acid to avoid reducing the effect of fruit acid in alkaline environment. If you feel that it is troublesome to feed apples every time, you can buy a bottle of pure natural apple vinegar and drop it into tiger skin drinking water or soft food every day.
Finally, some snacks are also the first choice to improve the quality of tiger skin. Animal protein: bread worm, calcium supplement: cuttlefish bone or water-soluble calcium, trace elements: nutrient soil (made by itself according to the proportion of various elements and digestion aid), vitamins and amino acids needed for growth. There is also the most crucial dish: soft food. There are many ways to make soft food, and reasonable proportion can make tiger skin with big head have enough nutrition and trace elements intake every day. What is soft food? It is easy to digest cooked food. Players can choose their own soft food ingredients and mix them with various nutrients after cooking, which is an excellent tonic, especially for parents who are taking care of their children. It can not only make the postpartum female birds recover quickly, but also make the newborn birds absorb all-round nutrition, which is easy to digest and ensure the good development of the chicks' physique.
In a word, the tiger skin with a big head depends on what we feed it. Your carefulness is to cultivate the confidence of high-quality people, develop in a field, don't always follow, learn to be a guide, experience is only to learn and adopt, practice depends on yourself, innovation can be realized, and you don't know until you try.
Section four: the concept of cultivating budgerigar.
Before cultivating budgerigars, we must first have a goal, that is, to give ourselves a training orientation according to our own preferences. Don't always blindly buy finished products and come back for breeding. A foreign player once said to me: You can't breed mice with mice. This sentence makes me feel at a loss. What do you mean you can't breed mice with mice? Through exchange and study, it turns out that this sentence implies that there will be no breakthrough in the step-by-step procedure. Before we cultivate big-headed tiger skin, we should think about what style we like, big body, hairy hair, explosive head, good mask, good standing posture, good color and so on. Only by knowing what you want can you choose seeds with a purpose and start farming. Of course, no one has cultivated tiger skin with all the above conditions, so our goal needs to be step by step, first learn to walk, and then run steadily. Don't set your sights too high, lest you be disappointed because you can't achieve the expected results, slowly lose confidence and finally leave this hobby.
Many players have always had a wrong idea that the bigger the body, the better. In fact, the ornamental value of tiger skin with big head lies not only in its size, but in the proportion of all the characteristics of a big head. If the proportion is unbalanced, high quality will not be achieved. We can imagine a tiger skin with a head as big as a whirlwind and two cheeks as tigers. When it is big, it looks small. How can such a tiger skin be called a boutique? Such a wrong idea often leads many players to go astray and introduce large birds at any cost. Finally, the reproduction rate is not high and the quality is not guaranteed. In fact, the shape of big-headed tiger skin is relatively improved, and the lucky generation can. The real serious injuries are the mask and hair.
Blood transfusion, also known as inbreeding, is mentioned in some materials of tiger skin cultivation, which leads many players to fall into a misunderstanding. Blood transfusion between true lineages is not a parental gamete generation, nor is it a offspring gamete generation with the same parents, because everyone knows the consequences of consanguineous marriage, genetic diseases, congenital malformations, physical dysfunction and serious direct death. The best way to return blood is to pair half the offspring. Of course, it is inevitable to sacrifice inbreeding, but this procedure of blood transfusion can greatly reduce the loss of genetic diseases and physical functions, inherit the pedigree genes of the male parent species to the greatest extent, and even make a breakthrough, but remember that there are only three generations of blood transfusion.
In short, open the door and look at the outside world, don't always look in the mirror. What is truth? When you really understand, that's the truth!
I hope I can help you adopt if I can.
