ich finde es total faszinierend wie verspielt die Keas sind udn alles genau "untersuchen" müssen. Da könnten sich meine faulen Amazonen mal ne Scheibe abschneiden
P.s. Roland kannst du mir bitte noch die Adresse von dem Riesenwaldrallenzüchter schicken. Dankeschön!
Das kann man wohl sagen. Sind wirklich sehr hübsch alle beide
Haben die beiden auch schon nen Namen ?
Bin mal gespannt, was sie sich - ausser Handschuhe klauen - noch für Überraschungen einfallen lassen

wer weis eigentlich etwas zu ihrer ernährung in captivity?

Kea are opportunists that are generally willing to eat a wide variety of foods.Consequently, the nutrient requirements of captive kea can potentially be supplied through a range of different food combinations. It is therefore not surprising that experienced kea breeders hold varying opinions on the "optimum diet" for this species. Some holders base the birds' diet on specially formulated parrot feeds (pellets or crumbles) designed to supply all the animals' nutrient requirements; e.g., Roudybush or Lakes brand. Others claim better results from feeding a more traditional diet based on a wide range of natural ingredients. While this approach is regarded as less scientific, it is likely that most animals offered a variety of foods will use their "nutritional wisdom" to select foods which provide the nutrients they need at the time.
The following foods are commonly fed to captive kea. Pellets or crumbles that are specially formulated to supply the total nutrient requirements of parrots - may be fed as a total diet but more commonly supplemented to a greater or lesser extent by a variety of "natural" foods. Sunflower seed, peanuts, walnuts - to be fed in limited amounts. Feeding excessive quantities of high protein feeds (e.g., seeds, nuts, meat) can lead to the development of obesity and gout. Oats, maize and blue peas and other seeds may be fed soaked or dry. All dry seeds and beans should be preferably soaked and sprouted. Good hygiene is essential when preparing and feeding sprouts; any uneaten sprouts should be removed within 24 hours. Cheese - no more than 25 g per bird three times per week; may be increased to 75 g per day to birds rearing chicks.
Fruit biscuits.
Fresh green food - favourites include sow thistle (puha), flowering dandelion and chickweed, although silverbeet or celery may be substituted when these are not available. All green food should be thoroughly washed to reduce any spray residues and other contaminants before being offered to the birds. It is absolutely essential that birds with chicks are offered fresh green food every day. Fruits, particularly apples and oranges, may be consumed and carrots tend to be eaten in quantity. "Natural" foods such as coprosma berries, wild grasses and flowers, hawthorn berries are always appreciated and should be offered as availability and collection time permits.
Birds rearing chicks may be offered a "nectar mix" made up according to the following recipe:
2 cups of rolled oats
1 heaped tablespoon of complan
2 cups of cold water
Simmer gradually until thickened, then add brown sugar or glucose to sweeten - just sufficient to taste; avoid over-sweetening. When cool, add to each litre of mix:
• one slice of wholemeal bread
• a suitable multivitamin supplement at recommended dose rate
Offer 400 g of this mixture per pair per day. Surplus mixture may be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Ensure that nectar feeding dishes are thoroughly cleaned after each use. There is no evidence that meat and bones are an essential component of kea diet. Feeding of red meat or cooked meat on the bone should be discontinued. Alternative sources of protein include a variety of seeds, nuts and beans, in addition to formulated feeds. Formulated feeds or traditional cuttle fish will provide the birds with sufficient calcium.
