I succeeded in breeding of timor sparrow. I wrote these very previously. So it is English to be clumsier than now. I feel what I will show if ashamed, but will show it if is useful to people trying breeding of timor sparrow because I am glad. I get possible to let them breed surely now. The latest information is told with our forum.
75%Timor Sparrow is just "BF1Timor Sparrow". Because you were easy to understand, I used the word.

2003.9

I breed 13 Timor-Sparrows and being hybrid 4 of Timor-Sparrows and Java-Sparrow. In addition, I breed four return cross 75% Timor-Sparrows. Four 75% Timor-Sparrows of five Timor-Sparrows, being hybrid (following F1) and the return cross is of the figure birds born for self breeding.

I succeeded in breeding of F1 last year and succeeded in breeding of 75% Timor-Sparrows and Timor-Sparrows this year. Present situation and I think that, actually, most people obtain Timor-Sparrow what is a wild capture individual from the place of origin. Therefore Timor-Sparrow is considerably nervous, and there seems to become considerably much death by transportation stress, too. At first I do that I prevent weakening by stress and that I let Timor-Sparrow be tame with the situation bred by a human being in case of me. I use wooden breeding box for breeding mainly. Timor-Sparrow moves considerably lively. Therefore the reason is because it is easy for they hurt a foot, and it to be it in stress, and I think that I breed Timor-Sparrow with the small place or a metal cage. I think that breeding of a bird with aviary is originally the most desirable. Big thing is settled down in case of breeding box. It becomes a custom to breed with a breeding box from the influence that a father bred a bird with breeding box and aviary from the time when I oneself is very young. I think that the one is suited for nervous Timor-Sparrow.

I will put a pot nest (a nest of a pot type made with straw) by all means besides the breeding season. The nest has a role as a hideout with being a nest as breeding simultaneously. I do not fix a perch either and create a case of a box type by myself to both ends of a perch to move a little when I landed. Metal does not use a net of the front at all either and composes by myself with wood and piece of bamboo whittled into a thin stick. Deficit of a feather of Timor-Sparrow to be able to still call a wild bird and a shock to a foot decrease by doing it so. I make a breeding box with oneself mainly. An advantage is because it is changed size of a breeding box in accordance with nature of a bird freely. I let you be tame, and what I tame till it is it to rank remaining in a human way become an aim in case of me finally as one even if it is a bird to be afraid of a human being. As for this method, it is necessary to do it to overdo it by no means because there is an impossible thing by an individual.

I took a training method of Japanese Tit (there was the tradition that Japanese Tit trained to Japan turned art into) into account when I have it with one of them, but at first it lets you recognize that a human being is not existence to harm to them in case of plural number feather for minimum around 1 month that a breeding box is the place that is safe for them. If order was tame with environment a bird, I start a freed bird in a room. A bird tame with a hand does a freed bird simultaneously. I put the blame of a bird on a breeding box after having been able to point at a freed bird for amounted to 1 day four hours by morning and evening two hours. In the beginning I returned it from a bird tame with a hand to each breeding box and the bird which was not tame with a human being darkened a room and caught you and returned it. Then the bird which is not tame sees other birds coming back in a breeding box with this method for several weeks and comes to come back by oneself. Those birds imitate a bird tame and come to get on a hand alike. I think that breeding becomes easy in this state by letting you be tame with a human being. I was tame with the rank that six Timor-Sparrows stopped in my hand among eight of them whom I obtained by the state that I was afraid of a human being currently.

It is difficult to turn Timor-Sparrow into a pair and does not seem to readily go well that I have let breeding environment be tame. I made fellow individuals which included differences such as a color or size by two of them and divided it in order I obtained Timor-Sparrow, and to prevent the death of infectious disease immediately. The bird just became a pair well. There does not seem to be much difficulty of affinity if I will turn a bird into a pair in the front tame with breeding environment. But it is very an intense bird of a temper. Therefore because it is assumed that an owner does not always pay careful attention for a bird by a cruel quarrel, attention is necessary. If a bird is tame with breeding environment, a male sings immediately, and a female comparatively easily lays eggs.

I manage temperature and the humidity with a digital thermometer, a hygrometer. I think, and 20 degrees keep temperature with being an imported bird, it not being changed into a cage bird at last not to be less. Timor-Sparrow which I obtained got it was imported, just after that sterile to the rank whom there was not. A standard boiled around 28 degrees in order to prevent weakening of a bird and lowered temperature by degrees. The humidity does it with the aim of 50%.

I give bait by japanese millet 60%, foxtail millet 30%, white millet 10%, combination of canary seed 10% currently. Because introduced Timor-Sparrow just after that got sterile, I paralleled spray millet and egg food, bait for a dove, bait for a canary and gave it. The reason is because niger seed was given to Timor-Sparrow bait at having obtained it me why. Because these bait passes for around 2 months, and physical condition of a bird was stable, I do not give it currently. I pay attention not to be out of stock because Timor-Sparrow likes greens and oystershell very much.
