Škrlatni omelovec

Škrlatni omelovec (Dicaeum cruentatum)



Ta prelep ptič spada med medičarje. Je relativno majhen, saj v dolžino meri okrog 90 mm. V naravi živi na severu Indije, Nepalu in na Sumatri ter Borneu. Spada med bolj občutljive, zato je bolje, da ga bomo doma imeli v zaprtem prostoru, v aviariju ali voljeri. Ti cvetokljuvači so bolj primerni za izkušene vzreditelje. Dopoldne jih je priporočljivo hraniti s sadjem, ki ga je treba drobno narezati, kasneje pa jim je treba obvezno ponuditi medičino. Če boste v tej dieti dosledni, bo vaš ljubljenec dosegel častitljivo starost.

mene pa zanima, kako starša hranita mladičke, samo s sadjem ali tudi medičino prenašata v kljunčkih??

Mimogrede rečeno. Ko sem odprl video, sta začela moja agapornisa močno oglašati (slišal sem celo dele nekih pesmi). Očitno jim petje teh ptic ugaja.

Kar se pa tiče prenašanja hrane mladičem velja poudariti, da je pri ptičkah kljunček ključni organ za to.

verjetno sem malo nerodno postavila vprašanje, ker to vem da jim je kljun edino sredstvo prenašanja zanima me pa če poleg sadja prinašata mladičkom tudi medičino, ker na posnetku se lepo vidi, da je samica prinesla v kljunu košček sadja, samec pa kot da je prišel prazen, potem je pa zgledalo, kot da iz golše (al nevem od kje) vleče nekaj kar je že pojedel nazaj v kljun, in da mladičkom

Flowerpeckers come from India to China and down to the Philippines , Borneo and New Guinea. The Scarlet backed has 8 subspecies and is found from NE India to S China down to Borneo and Sumatra .All species feed on nectar ,soft fruit and insects .They are one of the species that disperses Mistletoe seeds .A suspended nest made from soft fibers and held together with spiders webs holds the 2-4 eggs. With incubation by both sexes for 10-11 days.I have seen the Scarlet backed in the wild in Malaysia and Borneo .
I have not kept Scarlet backed in captivity but have kept Orange bellied (dicaeum trigonostigma) and Crimson breasted (prionochilus percussus ) . Both species proved to be very difficult. Some books mention flowerpeckers but most authors have not kept them and copy other books. They where fed soft fruit ,sponge cake socked in nectar and a nectar made for( Nectariniidae ) sun birds with unlimited fruit flies .They must be kept at a constant temperature off around 25 cel . It is unlikely that any remain in Europe after the ban on wild caught birds came in to force in 2007 . As with a lot of species, sun birds ,humming birds, spider hunters ,tanagers, and fly catchers not enough were bred before imports stopped .
