Preparing your Puteh for contest

Preparing your Puteh for contest

As we learn together, Puteh birds colonies living in a socially huddle. Generally, a Puteh when alone will simply skip here and there inside a cage when seeing another Puteh around him. When in the middle of a crowd of other birds, Puteh twitter and singing his best songs to be able to articulately connect with others is very important factor. There are a couple of tips to keep twittering birds, loud Puteh from start to finish in a contest.

1. Puteh bird on the condition that the level of sexual arousal and primes are normal. Being diligent bird Puteh Twitter caused by stimulation of the estrous cycle is affected by hormones testosterone, the hormone estrogen and progesterone hormones that are present in the body. These hormones are formed as a result of external stimuli rapidly (Sunbath: infrared rays) and high protein levels in food consumption. Birds should be sexual arousal, but Puteh is not too sexual arousal (over estrous cycle). Need to "trial and error" to be able to find the desired level of sexual arousal as a bird character Puteh at our disposal. Generally in 2-3 days before the contest day, birds have started to undergo ritual Puteh adjust estrous cycle with the addition of the option is accumulative Psychology culture.

2. Get to know the characters. This is the most important factor for being able to understand and train a Puteh. Puteh have the social life of a huddle, twittering and chanting songs sonorous is one way for birds to attract the opposite sex and give information to other birds on the boundaries of the territory.

3. We can split birds into 3 parts, namely:
a) Song (long booms with the strains of a dulcet tone to show off his ability and attracted the attention of the opposite sex).
b) Call (loud, short call for feedback of the opposite sex)
c) Alert (Twitter and similar sound to warn birds and bird companion when there is danger. Twitter also serves as a marker of the territorial area of other birds).

Each Puteh’s character is different; there are no bird Puteh exactly the same. Share research results and with friends who are lovers Puteh Indonesia and some neighboring countries, can be summed up as follows:

There are a few birds to Puteh full isolation for 7-10 days prior to the contest. During the ritual, the isolation of birds does not see and hear other Puteh birds sing. The days of isolation still undergoing daily treatment patterns, Puteh birds will chirp out loud “Toa Aw” regardless of the length of the birds Puteh around him at the time of the contest along with other contestants.

There are some Puteh formerly paired together couples, placed both Putehs in a cage during the ritual for 7-10 days prior to the contest. At the time of the contest with other contestants, Puteh birds will chirp out long loud “Toa Aw” for females regardless of Puteh birds around him.

This is also a factor that must be considered. Without good nutrition, it will be difficult to make the bird perform. There are some birds that do not need ritual Puteh isolation and ritual female companion. Treat them on daily care, just add nutritional to support on stamina until the day of the contest. At the time of the contest along with other contestants, Puteh birds will chirp out loud “Toa Aw” regardless of the length of the birds Puteh around him at the time of the contest along with other contestants.

Tips Choosing Male Puteh Bird Guides

These are some pointers which I look out when choosing:

a) Look for those with slim and long body, no deformed feet etc.

b) Make sure those do not have any bad habits like head rotation or even somersault.

c) Look out for middle tone. If one does, confirm male. This type of birds can normally choose already.

A good bird combines all these, the length/pitch of buka really depends on luck and the duration which you rear the bird and how you take care of it. Let me quote an example. If the bird which you have chosen has very good genes, the dad may be a champion bird. If you feed it with the wrong food, don't bath it regularly, or even keep the bird in the wrong location in your house when it can get quite warm in the day time, then it starts to drink more water and develops water droppings etc…

Tips Choosing Male Puteh Bird Guides

1. Birds moving agile and aggressive.

2. The birds are not defective.

3. Body Postures and are proportionate in length.

4. Dry Fur, neat but not dull and symmetrical clamp wings

5. Larger Broad Head with long neck.

6. The base of the beak is thick, long and wide; half the width of the base of the beak is aligned with.

7. Feet dry with strong gripping at standing.

8. Call Tones out loud and sonorous, the thickness of Puteh’s spectacles in times of molting, the glasses will thin out, Puteh bird’s tail shaped forms either V or flat.

Puteh Tails Feathers

Puteh Tails (FanTail)

Nowadays it is very rare to see a Fantail Puteh...

A bird's tail consists of a tailbone, a set of flight feathers, and a layer of covering feathers at the base of the tail. The tail serves a number of aerodynamic functions.

The number the tail feathers by counting outward both right and left from the central most pair of tail feathers. For instance, both the right central tail feather is number one and the left central feather is number one. We count outward to the outer right and left tail feather respectively. For example, the outer right and left tail feather of most songbirds is number six, meaning that songbirds typically have six pairs of tail feathers.

Without their tail feathers, flying would be a pretty difficult chore. It acts as a rudder to provide stability and control steering of direction of a bird’s flight, and it also helps the bird land, take off, and change altitude. When not flying, many birds use their tail feathers as supports when on the ground or climbing the sides of trees.
