Last May, after the birds completed the molt process, they started in the breeding season with signs of pairing. During this period, the engineers in charge must increase the amount of food, supplement the micronutrients to improve the condition of the bird, and prepare small branches and put them into the cages to make the birds do it themselves. egg laying.
