How to increase the egg laying rate of parrots

1. Under artificial breeding conditions, parrots should be omnivorous animals, rather than single-feeding, because this will affect their egg production. Generally speaking, people usually grow millet as the main food, plus some barnyard grass, rice husks, sorghum, grass seeds, small seeds (a little), and some sunflower seeds.

2. Let the parrot rest. You can breed parrots in autumn, winter and spring every year, but do not let the parrots hatch continuously. This will not only affect the health of the mother bird, and the egg production and fertility rate will be greatly reduced, but also will cause the baby birds to have poor physical fitness, so breeding should be stopped in summer.

3. The most important green feed cannot be lacking, such as vegetables, apples, etc. Insufficient supply will lead to unfertilized eggs, and sometimes feathers will be pecked. Give 1-2 rapeseed leaves every day, and add millet during estrus (millet can be mixed with oyster powder, cod liver oil, and yeast tablets). Hang it in the cage every day for the parrot to peck. This feeding can increase the production of 1-3 eggs.
