Yesterday, the group posted it, and everyone immediately understood ...... in seconds
At the same time, everyone discussed.
Sure enough, they are all chicks!
Today let's talk about the bowel movement of parrots.
It's important to learn about health, but it's very bad to know a little bit about it.
Remember, be sure to see the end!
Why look at poop?
Because it can reflect the physical health of the parrot!
In order to avoid natural predators, wild parrots will try to hide their illness even if they are sick in their natural state. Domestic parrots are tamed, but retain most of their nature.
By observing the feces can help usTimelyObserved the physical condition of the bird.
What kind of poop is healthy
First, let's understand what poop consists of.
When a parrot excretes its feces, it contains a variety of substances at the same time.
The following is an excerpt from a book.
The above is normal stool.
In healthy excretion, the proportion of each substance should be moderate, the urine will not be too much, the uric acid will be moderate, and the feces will be formed.
What would unhealthy stool look like?
We have compiled the corresponding diagrams for your reference.
Some misconceptions about feces
Now, here's the point! Knock on the blackboard!!
Healthy stool has certain characteristics: formed, moderately moist, and normal in color.
But healthy poop has more than one appearance!
The healthy stool shown in the diagram above is not a standard template!!
The feces of parrots will be different depending on the breed, diet, and special behavior.
Don't see the parrot's droppings different from the picture and think that the parrot has a problem, or even feed the medicine indiscriminately (this is what I am most afraid of).
Some very important information that we have compiled below!!
Many of the teachings you can see on the Internet say how feces should be, very mechanized! In fact, a lot of life scenarios are overlooked, and these are very crucial!!
The consequences of misjudgment can be drug abuse, which can cause damage to the parrot's health.
Eating seed food and nourishing pill feces is very different!
The most intuitive thing is that the feces of eating seed grains tend to be green, and the feces of eating nourishing pills are yellowish. This is due to the difference in composition between the two.
It is the same as eating nourishing pills, and the poop pulled out by eating different nourishing pills is also different!
Based on the long-term observations, many owners report that eating Harrison's feces is the most formed* (I can use one word to describe it personally), while eating Hagen and Roudi (Roudi's domestic market promotion has suddenly become less in recent years) will be larger and the color will be different.
In addition, like the tops pushed by many people in the past two years (the tops who were crazy at that time are now collectively disappearing......) is greener.
Molding here refers to the shape composition, eating Harrison's feces is basically
But this is not to say that the appearance is the most similar
is the best, and healthy stool also has a "firm" point or a "soft" point.
Whether it is Harrison, Hagen, or Roudi, as a mature brand, it has been verified by many consumers for a long time and is the preferred and trustworthy brand.
Other ingestions can also affect the stool
Mentioned earlier, eating seed grains, nourishing pills of feces. ButMost owners don't feed one grain alone, so it's important to take it together.
In addition,There is one more thing that is often overlooked and made up of jokes!
- Temporary bowel movements caused by feeding bird treasure fruits and snacks are different.
My baby has blood in his stool! "Oh, I ate red dragon fruit."
Why is my baby's poop suddenly so yellow and so collapsed! It's completely shapeless! "Oh! It turned out that I had just eaten a sweet potato! ”
Don't laugh, there are a lot of such cases.
The scary thing is to ask someone for the first timeAs a result, because I was unlucky to encounter an irresponsible person and didn't ask carefully, I directly snapped a sentence to diagnose "what is the disease" and "hurry up and feed xx", but the result is that there is no illness and there is a problem!
The feces are different for different physiological states!
In addition to being sick, Niaobao has many physiological states, and the feces of these different physiological states are also different. This point is hardly mentioned in many popular science books! (The last ones may not be the first time you see them, but most people don't pay attention to them).
a.The feces of young birds during the milk drinking stage are not the same as the health promises! Stools tend to be loose during the milk drinking phase.
b.The feces of young birds will be different when they drink milk powder and are weaned! The two are different in terms of ingestion, as well as the development of the intestinal mechanism of the bird, and the feces are also different.
Extra tips, weaning eggs and millet, ears of grain, the main thing is millet, eating yellow millet is the same as eating seed grain, the poop is green, many people who are new to contact do not know, and think it is an abnormal green stool.
c.Bathing and eating too much suddenly can lead to increased stool moisture.
This situation is the same as eating different foods mentioned earlier, and many newbies are not aware of it at first.
d.Baby hens that are ovulating (that is, laying eggs)! At this stage, the size of the chick droppings will suddenly become larger, many, many times larger than in the past! Take peony as an example, the daily pull may be as big as fragrant ash, and the little hen during ovulation may pull out a lump as big as a big coin!
Okay, back to the title of this article, what are the circumstances under which you will have green poop? Here are some non-exhaustive lists, did you think of them first?
a.Ate food such as seed grains.
b.Heavy metal poisoning (different from the green color of eating seed grains, this green color is more abnormal and brighter).
c.Excessive hunger.
d.Eat Harrison (mainly in relation to other nourishing pills).
In the end, having said so much poop, in the end, it is to judge the health of Bird Bao, and finally you must remember:
Droppings are very important to observe the health of the bird, but it must not be "dropped."manure pit".
In judging the daily health of Bird Treasure, it is necessary to combine multiple aspects to judge at the same time, such as mental state, weight, behavioral performance, etc.!
Well, that's it for today, I hope you get useful information! Also welcome ** to friends around you to help you learn more knowledge.
