As people's living standards continue to improve, some people with good economic capabilities will choose to raise some animals, such as dogs, cats or birds, etc. Nowadays, The editor is going to introduce you to a cute bird and teach you how to train a chick to recognize its owner! Come and take a look!
What is a baby bird?
A baby bird cannot survive alone. Juvenile birds, chicks can be divided into early adults and late adults. As soon as the chicks have just hatched out of their shells, their eyes have already been opened. They are covered with thick feathers. After the down feathers have matured, they can immediately follow their parents to find food on their own. These chicks are called precocious birds. Therefore, the chicks of chickens, ducks, geese, geese, etc. that people are familiar with are all precocious birds. However, the chicks have just emerged from their shells and are not yet fully developed. Their eyes are not open, they have very few feathers on their bodies, and even their whole body is exposed. Their legs and feet are also weak. They cannot survive on their own and need to stay. The nests are raised by their parent birds, and such fledglings are called late adults. The chicks of pigeons, swallows, etc. are all late adults. The old nests that late-adult birds live in are generally hidden and safe, and the parent birds are mostly fierce and able to protect their own children, so the survival rate of fledglings is significantly higher than that of early-adult birds. Because of this, late-adult birds lay significantly more eggs per nest than early-adult birds. There is one phenomenon worthy of everyone's attention, and that is the mark! Imprinting is an important way for all newly born animals to learn. It can help these defenseless little animals stick to their parents and ensure their own food supply. Animals will regard the first animal they see as their mother and imitate its behavior. This is a special kind of imprinting learning in animal behavior, also known as first imprinting.
How to train chicks to recognize their owners?
As I said just now, we must be by our side when the chicks hatch out of their shells, or be the first thing they see when they are born. People, and if we feed them regularly and protect them the day after tomorrow, they will naturally become familiar with us. However, we also need time to clean up the chicks’ homes and give them the help we can. If the chicks are injured, we can find them immediately and take good care of them, so that the chicks will recognize themselves as strangers faster! Secondly, we alsoIt can be done after training, but it requires us to spend some time. We need to look at the chicks from time to time to let our own image be deeply imprinted in their brains!
