Taking care of your Mata Puteh and improve its performance.When a bird is subject to sudden change of diet (or inconsistency) you will notice some of this:
a) Going into molt even if it is not time yet for molting.
b) Sudden drop in form
c) Watery droppings.
Taming Puteh, expose him more on human interactive and bath him more often. Example: At least 1 a day, as time goes by he will be settle down quite easily. Meanwhile, get yourself a bath cage for Finch/Mata Puteh; transfer your Mata Puteh into bath cage whenever you do the maintenance work Example: Top up water/food/cleaning to prevent your bird from escape and suffer serious head injury.
A bird depends very much on its feathers to be able to fly AND more often than not, its plumage will help determine whether it will get a mate. Any bird - whether a Jambul or Puteh or a Hornbill - will spend lots of time preening themselves to ensure their most precious possession, their feathers, are in tip top condition.
During molting period, I even bathe the bird with rice water. Rice water will helps the plumage of birds to grow excellent brilliant condition. It smoothen the feathers when it grows thus giving the bird with finest beautiful plumage.
If you have observed birds in the wild, the ones with poor plumage condition will almost never get a mate and more likely to be chased away by other male birds whose plumage are in excellent brilliant condition.
The moral is: - the more often you bathe the Puteh (or any bird) you can be sure it will be in top form.
