Birds

The siskin is a songbird belonging to the order Passeriformes, the finch family. Siskins have a fairly wide range and are numerous. They are migratory, so it is difficult to spot them in one place. They inhabit the coniferous forests of Eurasia. They are numerous in the forests of Russia. They arrive in Crimea only in winter, and in the Caucasus, during the cooler months, they migrate from the mountains to the valleys.

Poultry farmers often raise broilers on their own plots to produce tasty and nutritious meat. This is a profitable venture, as broilers have a high growth rate and low feed costs. With proper care, a chicken can reach 1.4–1.6 kg in weight by 2.5 months.

Chickens are the most common pet in households, as keeping them is quite profitable. There are several reasons for this: chicken meat is tasty and lean, and, most importantly, they lay eggs that are edible. However, recently, taking these factors into account, homeowners have begun choosing the meatiest breed, the now-famous broiler.

The charming little bird, the budgerigar, is native to Australia. To ensure this fluffy little creature remains healthy in captivity, it's important to choose the right food.

Birds' main diet consists of seeds and grains. It's even better to feed them a seed mixture of flax, sunflower, and oats. However, roasted seeds should not be given, as they are deadly to pets.

Novice poultry farmers who decide to raise quail at home should know that achieving the greatest success is only possible with proper feeding. From the very first days of life, young birds require a specific feeding regimen and supplements with vitamins.
