Ornamental poultry farming
Birds are an integral part of all habitats and play an important role in food chains. Birds are characterized as indicators of the state of the natural environment they inhabit. The avifauna of Ukraine includes more than 400 species. Certain species of birds are currently listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (which indicates the conservation status of birds in our country and according to the criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature), with 91 species included in its latest edition (2021). A large number of birds belong to game species, which are allowed to be hunted within the established time limits. In addition, since ancient times, people have domesticated birds, which were valued for their beautiful singing and decorative plumage. To keep these birds in captivity, you need to have some information about them.
