MOST IMPORTANT POINTS JOO BREEDERS MAIN HONAY CHAHIYE
1- PATIENCE. FOR ME THIS IS THE NO 1 QUALITY IN A GOOD BREEDER
When i goes back 19 years ago, i did many mistakes, repeat them many time. then i realised that patience is the key to every problem. First decide one breed, stick to it and try to get good results and then switch over to another breed. Be patient in your selection, cage, breed, dont follow others, or what is hot to sell, see what you can keep and breed.
2- MANAGEMENT.
For me this is 2nd very important, we spent one lac on bird but dont spend good money on cage, try to built cage then buy bird, we buy bird first and then try to purchase cage after wards.
3- DAILY VISIT
Please read my words so many times and please visit your birds on daily basis, i repeat daily basis. when we are new in bird keeping we are excited and pay daily visits, after some time when we lost interest or purchase some new mutations we neglect the first one and there start the disaster. I again repeat "never neglect any of your breeder pair and watch them by standing few minutes in front of their cage and see their activities. We had many disasters because we start neglecting or breeding pairs.
4- KEEP FEW BIRDS
THIS POINT I WISH TO WRITE IN CAP LETTER. MY OWN EXPERIENCE IS THAT I GOT BEST RESULTS FROM 10 PAIRS BUT COULD NOT GET THE SAME FROM 100 PAIRS. THE ANSWER IS IN THIS SENTENCE.
5- NEVER FOLLOW OTHERS
I mean if you cannot afford to buy Macaw, don't follow others, not every breed suits to every breeder. Stick to few breeds and specialise in them.
6- TRY TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
This is also very important point in a good breeder, try to learn from your previous mistakes and don't repeat them.
7- TRY TO LEARN NEW THINGS
Thanks to internet, when i goes back to 19 years ago, when i was new, their was no books available, no senior breeder give hints, no internet, no mobile, communication was very slow , but the new breeds are lucky that they have every opportunity to get new ideas, cages, breeds and can learn from net and breeders. Try to interact with breeders, books are only source of information but visiting a breeder and see his breeding techniques you will learn a lot. again open your mind and do out of box.
8- LUCK
Well this point is debatable but i give 50% point to luck, you try every thing, best cage, best bird, best feed but you may lost the male or female at the start of breeding season. I wish every reader do comment on this point.
9- EXPECTATIONS
Don't expect with fellow breeders that i help so and so when he need me and when i need him he was not there. Be open to healthy criticise, be open to discussion, be open to help others but don’t expect any favour from him. although many would not agree with me, but one day they will realize that i was right.
These above mentioned are few point which i learn from making so many mistakes, errors, lost so many birds, loosing many friends, making many new, these all points are debatable and need more to explore.
I'M JUST SHARING WITH U.
WITH WELL WISHES
