How to raise starlings

The starling is a small bird also known as the munia or white-breasted munia. Here are some tips on how to care for your starlings:

1. Prepare a suitable habitat: Starlings need a cage or aviary that is spacious, dry, and well-ventilated. Provide enough space for them to spread their wings and set up some branches or toys for their entertainment.

2. Provide appropriate temperature and light: Starlings have certain requirements for temperature and light. Keep room temperatures between 20-25 degrees Celsius and ensure they have adequate natural or artificial lighting.

3. Provide a balanced diet: The main food of starlings is grains, seeds and fruits. You can provide specialized bird food or mixed bird food as the main food, and add some fresh fruits and vegetables as a supplement. Also, make sure they always have fresh water available to drink.

4. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene: Clean the bird cage or aviary regularly, including removing bird droppings, leftover food and waste. Keeping the environment dry and clean helps prevent the spread of disease.

5. Provide appropriate social entertainment: Starlings are social birds and they like to interact with their peers. If possible, consider keeping two or more starlings to provide a social environment. In addition, provide some toys and activity facilities such as hammocks, bells, etc. to enrich their lives.

6. Regular health check-ups: Take your starlings to the veterinarian for regular health check-ups to ensure they are in good health and receive necessary vaccinations and deworming measures.

Please note that the above are only general recommendations, and adjustments need to be made according to specific conditions when actually caring for starlings. If you are caring for a starling for the first time, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or an experienced bird breeder for more detailed and professional guidance.
