  Intro To Parrots

Parrots are magnificent and attractive birds. They are very loving, and everyone wants to make their pet. Their unique chirping sounds take place in anyone's heart. Parrots are intelligent birds. They can easily be trained to speak or anything. They are mostly found in tropical and subtropical regions.
Many people keep these birds as a pet, but other people also save these birds from taking breed and earning money. Today I will talk about five parrots that will give the right breed. So come on, let's talk about them.

Budgerigar

Budgerigar( Melopsittacus undulatus ) is a magnificent small bird. They are also known as budgie or parakeet. They are present in markets for decades, which makes them ideal for starting bird breeding. They are not noisy so that they are suitable for indoor breeding. Many male budgies learn to speak.

 

They are mainly yellow or green. Now genetically, many colors are produced. They are appropriate to keep in the apartment.

 

These are seed-eating birds. Fresh vegetables, dark and green leafy green, make them healthy, and protect them from various diseases. Budgies are market bids and worth investment.

Parrotlets

 
Parrotlets ( Forpus spp ) are an excellent choice for bird breeding business. These are the most popular birds in the USA. They mature early and breed on their first birthday. They lay multiple clutches of six to eight eggs. These birds are easily set up in small bird cages. These are ideal for apartments and tiny houses lacking enough space.

 

Parrotlets eat quality seed mix, small pallets, variety of fresh vegetables. Pacific parrotlets produce mutation, which is famous in the USA.

Love Birds

Love birds ( Agapornis spp ) are the small birds that are worth considering. They are slightly larger than parrotlets. These birds breed quickly and do not need a great deal of space. Their popularity on the show circuit is growing.

 

They lay four to six eggs and incubates for 21 days. After hatching, the chicks wean within eight weeks. The best diet for love birds includes a combination of seeds and pallets, fresh vegetables, dark leafy greens, and offer fruits daily. For breeding, they should be kept together. If you want to keep it as a pet, then keep it alone so that it makes the bond with you. One drawback of these birds is their constant chatter if in large numbers.

Cockatiels

Cockatiels ( Numphicus hollondicus ) are the long been best small parrots to keep and breed. They are not more colorful, but their pleasant vocalization and charming make them famous. Their demand remains high. Numerous color mutations increase the interest of these birds.

 

These birds mature quickly and start breeding when they are one year old. Keeping these birds in large cages is far more appropriate and desirable. They can also be set up for breeding in 2 to 3 feet long cells.

 

A typical clutch includes four eggs. These birds start incubation after laying the second egg. These birds generate dust, so air cleaner must be present if keeping these birds at home. These birds are considered the best starter for breeding business.

Green Cheeked Conure

Green cheeked conure ( Pyrhurra molinae ) is a small delightful bird. Their popularity remains the same, even after changes in the birds market. South American birds breed well in captivity. They lay several clutches of 3 to 8 eggs every year. These are quiet birds and small enough to be kept inside or outside. These are relatively inexpensive. They have several color mutations. People are more interested in green chicks.

 

In their natural habitat, these parrots feed on a carefully selected diet of seeds, fruits, tree blossoms, and agricultural products. To achieve this for your pet, an excellent commercial seed mix designed for centuries a great starting point. Regular and small doses of fresh fruit and vegetables are a mandatory addition and a source of vitamins and necessary proteins.
