Signs before female munias breed:

1. Before munias breed, male munias will chase the female munias and jump up and down in the cage. , and may even appear to stay in the nest for a long time.

2. Before breeding, munia will become fatter and their excrement will become larger. Male munia also make frequent calls.

3. Before the munias breed, the munias will put hay, cotton wool and other bedding materials into their nests.

Munia lay 3-7 eggs at a time. The bird is sexually mature at 8 months old, but does not breed until it is more than a year old. The breeding time is generally in spring, autumn and winter, and one clutch will be produced every month, with each clutch containing up to 10 eggs. It takes 15 days for the chicks to hatch, and they can leave the nest 20 days after hatching. If artificially bred, you usually have to wait another 7-10 days before raising them separately.

Precautions for raising female munia during the breeding season:

1. To breed munia, you must prepare a comfortable nest during the breeding season. You can add a handful of hay and put the male and female birds in the same nest to maintain the temperature when the chicks hatch.

2. Munnia mainly feeds on cereals. It is easier to digest and absorb by feeding some soaked rice, millet, etc. in daily life. After all, grains are too simple, so we need to add appropriate amounts of green vegetable leaves to supplement appropriate amounts of vitamins and trace elements.

3. There should be a small sink in the cage so that the birds can drink water.
