林肯港鸚鵡是人們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪凶顬殛P(guān)注的鳥類之一。這種鸚鵡不僅容易飼養(yǎng)，而且在外形上也是鸚鵡種類中的杰出代表。因此，對(duì)于飼養(yǎng)這種鳥類的人來說，了解相關(guān)的飼養(yǎng)知識(shí)是非常重要的。那么，您想知道林肯港鸚鵡的情況嗎？

林肯港鸚鵡怎么樣?

林肯港鸚鵡由三個(gè)不同的亞種組成，體長(zhǎng)約在35-44厘米之間。它們是典型的攀鳥，嘴巴強(qiáng)勁有力，上顎具有可活動(dòng)的關(guān)節(jié)和臘膜。它們的肌肉質(zhì)舌頭較厚，腳短而有力，有兩只前爪和兩只后爪，適合攀爬和抓握。林肯港鸚鵡的羽毛非常艷麗，而且有一層粉絨羽。它們的分布范圍很廣，包括了開闊的尤加利林、灌木叢、果園、海岸地帶、沙漠區(qū)、郊區(qū)和公園等地。它們主要在地面上尋找食物，吃的東西包括花蜜、草籽、水果、花朵和昆蟲等。由于它們可能會(huì)對(duì)農(nóng)作物造成損失，有時(shí)會(huì)被獵殺。在澳大利亞北部的林肯港鸚鵡族群會(huì)有季節(jié)性的遷徙。

林肯港的鸚鵡有三種亞種，它們都是群居性強(qiáng)的物種，常常結(jié)伴或成群地進(jìn)行活動(dòng)或覓食，并且喧鬧不止。這些鸚鵡主要在地面覓食，食物包括花蜜、草種子、水果、花朵、昆蟲等。有些時(shí)候，它們因?qū)r(nóng)作物造成損失而被捕獵，而在澳大利亞北部的群體會(huì)有季節(jié)性的遷徙。

林肯港鸚鵡的外形特征：

The Lincoln Harbor Parrot has a body length of approximately 35-44 centimeters and weighs around 164 grams, varying depending on the subspecies. The parrot's Southwest Asian subspecies has the largest bill and body size, with a green-colored belly unlike the other two subspecies, which have bright yellow bellies. Meanwhile, the Western subspecies of the Lincoln Harbor Parrot is the smallest in body size and has a lighter, less vibrant body coloration. Female parrots of this species have smaller heads and bills than males and also exhibit lighter feather coloring. The bird's head and cheeks are mostly black-brown, with dark blue spots on the feathers covering the ears and sides of the throat. A narrow, bright yellow collar can be seen on the back of the neck. The upper parts of the body exhibit a variety of green mosaic spots and fine green dark stripes, with primary flight feathers displaying classic blue-green edges and pale green outer feathers. The wingtips curve in turquoise color, while the primary cover feathers are black-brown, and flight feathers are black with a hint of blue. The lower part of the body's feathers on the chest are dark green, while the upper abdomen is brightly yellow, and the lower belly and undertail coverts are pale yellow. The middle area shows deep green transitioning into deep blue. The outer tail feathers' base is dark black, the lower part of the tail is pale blue, and the tips of the tail feathers are white. The parrot's beak is grayish-white, the iris is brown, and the legs are gray.

成年雄鳥與雌鳥相比稍大，頭部呈棕色，翅膀底部有斑紋。幼鳥則具有暗色的胸部、棕色的頭部和灰褐色的喙，尾部頂端則呈現(xiàn)綠色。它們需要12至15個(gè)月的時(shí)間才能完全生長(zhǎng)出成鳥的羽毛。

林肯港鸚鵡的繁殖方式：

During the period from June to February (earlier for populations in the north), the Lincoln Harbor parrots begin building nests. They are highly territorial during the breeding season, and the nest is usually chosen by the female near a water source, high in a eucalyptus tree. Each clutch consists of 5-7 eggs, which hatch after approximately 19 days. For the first week, the female feeds the chicks alone, after which the male also participates in feeding. The chicks leave the nest at around 4 weeks old but continue to live with the parents for a while.

林肯港鸚鵡在被籠養(yǎng)時(shí)表現(xiàn)得非常強(qiáng)壯且咬合力強(qiáng)，為了最好地照顧它們，需要提供堅(jiān)固的鳥舍和巢箱。此外，還應(yīng)該提供玩具或新鮮樹枝供它們啃咬。然而，將它們長(zhǎng)期飼養(yǎng)在籠子里并不是理想的選擇。相反，它們應(yīng)該放養(yǎng)在較大的籠舍內(nèi)?？紤]到雄鳥具有相當(dāng)?shù)那致孕?，最好是成?duì)飼養(yǎng)它們。此外，需要注意的是指名亞種與西南亞種的變種數(shù)量都非常稀少。

繁殖這種動(dòng)物并不是一件容易的事情。在小的籠子里進(jìn)行繁殖效果并不好，因此建議在大的籠舍中進(jìn)行，這樣成功的機(jī)率會(huì)更大。為了防止啃咬破壞巢箱，最好為它們提供堅(jiān)固的巢箱，或?qū)⒊蚕浒惭b在籠舍外面。將它們放在天然中空的樹木里會(huì)有更好的效果。如果使用一般巢箱，巢箱的深度必須夠深，至少要有70厘米以上。這種動(dòng)物在2歲時(shí)性成熟，不建議太早讓它們繁殖。繁殖季節(jié)大約在春天開始，但有可能更早。一窩約產(chǎn)4-7枚蛋(通常為5枚)，孵化期約為20-22天。孵出后的前10至14天由雌鳥單獨(dú)喂養(yǎng)雛鳥，之后雄鳥也會(huì)加入喂食幼鳥的行列。幼鳥約于5周后羽毛長(zhǎng)成。
