When will parrots lay eggs?

Parrots can lay eggs. As long as they mate in time during estrus, they will lay eggs. The time of estrus and spawning is mostly in spring, while the latter is in autumn. For example, budgerigars will lay eggs about a week after mating, laying 4 to 8 eggs at a time. It takes about 28 days from the first egg to the last bird. You can lay 5-6 nests a year at most. However, continuous reproduction will do harm to its body, and generally three nests a year is enough.

Parrot is a kind of bird with gorgeous feathers and love to call, but some parrots can imitate people and are loved by many people. More and more people will choose parrots as pets, but many people will be curious. When will parrots lay eggs? Let's find out.

Budgerigars reach sexual maturity at the age of 4 months, and start estrus and mating. They can reproduce all year round. Generally, 4-7 eggs are laid per nest. Eggs are white, one every day or every other day. When the third egg is laid, the female begins to hatch in the nest, and the incubation period is 18 days. Male and female birds hatch eggs together for 30 days. Keep the room quiet during brooding, and the temperature should be above 20 degrees. Their breeding period can reach 3-4 years, and the average life span of budgerigars is 7 years.

Peony parrot reached sexual maturity from June to August, and its species was slightly different. Generally, females give birth to 4-6 birds, one every other day, the third egg begins to hatch, and some begin to hatch when they give birth to the first 1 egg. This kind of bird has the habit of abandoning eggs and often fails to hatch. During hatching, females leave the nest 2-3 times a day, each time 1-2 minutes. The incubation period is 2 1-23 days until completion. It can breed all year round, giving birth to 3-4 litters every year. This kind of bird is a late bird, and it usually takes 45-50 days to separate its nest and start to learn to feed by itself. After another 7- 10 days, the chicks must be separated in time after they can eat. It is very dangerous for some bird breeders to delay separating birds in order to let their parents feed them for a long time. Because the parent bird began to lay the second nest of eggs, the parent bird began to bite the chick, causing the chick to become a disabled bird. The incubation period is 3-4 years, and the average life expectancy is 10 year.
