When do we place nests for goldfinches in order for the production season to begin?

When do we place nests for goldfinches in order for the production season to begin? A question that I have been asked many times, many times, and in order to answer this question We must first know the nature of the production of this stubborn and quarrelsome bird, especially when it comes to female wild goldfinches. Below we will discuss the topic. Simply

When does goldfinch production occur?

What is not different from Itanan is that the timing of the goldfinch’s production is the following season Spring, as it is known in all parts of the world, but this is not the right time at all For processing, at this stage it is production, not processing. As for processing, it begins very early You will think that the preparation begins in February or January, but this is very wrong in terms of preparation It begins immediately after the completion of the production stage, i.e. the next stage, which is the feather replacement stage The educator must limit his efforts at this stage to several things that he must do In fact, it is, in short, diversifying food and grains in particular, and taking care of hygiene Bathing bowl, sunbathing, and breaking the birds’ usual routine by taking them out of the room And not as many claim, by confining birds in boxes, fabrics, or boxes that they thought were The ideal way to change clothes appropriately. In fact, this is the worst crime he could do The breeder actually harmed his bird by neglecting it and leaving it in an unnatural and not at all healthy environment Its droppings and falling feathers are sufficient to create a suitable climate for the spread of many problems The most prominent of which are breathing and intestinal problems, and it may sometimes lead to undesirable disabilities Its consequences are such as blindness, so the bird staying in the dark for several weeks may cause a problem, or even inevitably This is why this period must be one that must pass very smoothly and in order for you to… To learn how, we must learn about the divisions or periods of this stage.

The period of changing feathers in the goldfinch:

In short, the feather replacement stage is divided The goldfinch has three stages: the molting period, the feather growth period, and the molting period The last one is the period of polishing or purifying the feathers Filter it and you can choose whatever name you like for it:

The molting period of the goldfinch:

Be this This period is the end of the reproductive stage in birds and the beginning of feather development, which is usually the period It begins at the end of June until the beginning of August, and this stage is observed by the breeder Feather loss is very noticeable, whether the feathers of the body as a whole or the feathers of the wings or tail

The stage of feather development in the goldfinch:

And this is it The stage after molting and moulting, in some cases Sometimes there are two forms of feathers in birds. There are those who shed each part separately His body has been regenerated again, and you notice that some places have become very bald Another area was not reached by spare parts, and there is another form that was presented and replaced at the same time without being injured Baldness in any area, but with a clear appearance of moulting feathers in or around the cage.

The stage of polishing the feathers of the goldfinch:

And start right away After feather breeding, this is a period called the feather molting period, which is before the resting stage Extending approximately between September and January, the preparation period followed, and this period is Which must be used appropriately for preparation, through diversification of food Grains, vegetables, fruits, as well as nuts, boiled eggs, and vitamins Dissolved in water from time to time, for example once a week or once every two weeks Followed by the pre-mating period, or the pre-production period, which extends between late January and… The month of February here, the nests must be placed and the cage must be decorated, whether this is the first experience of the goldfinch pair Or it was a husband who had previously produced children in previous years, which is important at this stage There are those who adopt one of these two methods, which are as follows

First method:

In case it is not separated The couple after the previous production and left to spare with each other in this case The cage is prepared and decorated with herbs and tree branches, as I previously mentioned in a video How to decorate the goldfinch’s production cage and place the appropriate nest for the female. In this case, it is possible to place A cage barrier between the spouses, and you can also not place it as you wish to irritate the spouses at the breeder He is the master of the situation. He must take the appropriate action at the right time. Either he is fired or not, it depends Readiness and compatibility of the spouses.

The second method:

In the second case Which some breeders rely on to separate the pairs after production so that each one can be replaced In this method alone, the female must be placed in the mating cage during the rest period or the period after The spare cage was decorated and the male’s cage was moved closer to hers without changing the location of the female’s cage That is, placing the cage in its usual place for production begins with bringing the male’s cage closer to the female’s cage And so on until the couple’s kidneys are ready after the female begins to lay a few threads on the nest In the nest, the male enters it to complete the fertilization process.
