How long does it take for parrots to hatch eggs?

The incubation period of parrots is generally 19 days. If all goes well, the parrot will hatch in about 20 days.

Among pet birds, the breeding of parrots is very simple. Generally, in the incubation period, females rarely come out and are fed by males, so when you put things, there are many kinds of nutritious coarse grains, such as millet, sorghum, melon seeds (which are not fragrant to it), vegetables and clear water.

1. Parrots can breed almost all year round, with 4-5 nests per year. However, the weather is hot in summer, and the females are very vulnerable during the breeding period. Continuous hatching in the nest will not only affect the health of adults, but also reduce the hatching rate. Young birds are in poor health and should stop breeding in summer.

2. If the weather is too dry during the incubation period, it is necessary to spray water outside the nest every other day to improve the air humidity in the nest house and ensure the survival rate of the chicks.

During the breeding period, a pair of breeding birds should be kept in a cage. Usually, cuttlefish bone and other calcium-containing nutrients should be provided in the feed to ensure the needs of female birds to lay eggs.

4. During the breeding period, the female birds of parrots will gradually reduce their food intake, and the male birds will feed the female birds, which makes the female birds look less energetic than usual. Female birds lay about 3-5 eggs at a time, one every other day. The incubation period is generally about 2 1 day. During the incubation period, the female will concentrate on incubating eggs in the nest, and the male will guard and protect them. Sometimes some males help females hatch eggs.

Don't disturb the parrot during its incubation, don't look at it often or tidy its nest. In these cases, parrots usually don't hatch eggs.

6. Most parrots can take good care of their young birds skillfully, but a few will attack or give up their young birds. If this happens, they should be artificially fed. The general method is to put the paste feed into a disposable syringe and unplug the needle. Young birds usually open their mouths and squeeze feed into their mouths.

Parrots are distributed all over the world. Distributed in temperate, subtropical and tropical areas. There are many species, including 2 families, 82 genera and 358 species, which is one of the largest families of birds. Mainly distributed in tropical forests. In the southern hemisphere, some species spread to temperate regions, while others spread to distant islands. There are the most species of parrots in Latin America and Oceania, but there are far fewer species in Africa and Asia, but there are some famous species in Africa, such as gray parrots, couple parrots and peony parrots. The most famous parrots in Latin America are all kinds of macaws. Parrots in Oceania are more diverse than those in Latin America.

Most parrots feed on fruits, seeds, nuts, berries, buds and shoots of plants on trees or on the ground, and also eat a small amount of insects. Honey-sucking parrots feed on pollen, nectar and soft and juicy fruits.

Different kinds of parrots have different life spans. Small parrots are generally 7-20 years old, and the average life expectancy of medium-sized parrots is 30-60 years old. Some medium-sized parrots can live to be about 80 years old, such as sunflower cockatoo, Amazon parrot and gray parrot. The longest-lived bird in the world is the parrot. This is an Amazon parrot named Jamie. 65438+February 3rd 1870 was born in Liverpool, England, and165438+1October 5th 1975 died. It is the oldest bird.
