what is the Best incubator and least expensive for an African Grey parrot?
Q. I have a pair of African Congo Grey. The male is doing his mating ritual. I want to have an incubator on hand just in case I need it. Any suggestions on which one is better yet not costing me an arm and a leg? Thank you everyone for your help. I am hoping not to need the incubator, but wanted to be prepared for the worst. I am hopeing mother nature will take its natural choice...but want to be prepared if she doesnt. Its always better to be over prepared than not prepared at all.

A. The best value is the GQF Hovabator. They range in price from about $50 to $175 depending on the options. Still-air units are cheaper, but the forced air units control the temperature more accurately. The automatic turners are not required but make the process much more convenient. I have the picture window unit with the electronic control and the turner. Good suppliers for this unit are : www.dblrsupply.com www.cutlersupply.com I hope you know what you're getting into, and hope that you do not need to use it. All birds (except poultry and game birds) do best when they are fed by the parent birds for the first few days. This provides a boost to their immune system and aids in establishing the proper gut bacteria balance. These… [cont.]

A. First of all why do you want to raise a parrot from an egg? Depending on the species, genetics and individual personality your bird may not be any more tame or bonded with you than a hand fed baby you get from a breeder or even a parent raised, hand tame baby. A lot depends on the individual bird and the environment. You need to consider baby birds get a lot of immune builders from their parents in the first few weeks of their lives and babies should not be pulled for handfeeding until they are at least 10 days old unless it's absolutely necessary. Breeders who sell parrot eggs are not looking out for the safety and well being of the chick and are only trying to make a quick buck at the expense of the baby. Unless you are experienced… [cont.]

Asked by Ivan N - Sat Feb 20 18:40:50 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Most chicks are removed from the nestbox for handfeeding about 10 days old, younger if the clutch is large. I seldom allow more than three chicks in the nest, if more than 3 eggs, the oldest chick is removed on the day chick #4 is due to hatch and repeated in the rare instance of more than 4 eggs. Having fewer chicks in the nest at one time puts less strain on the parents and gives the small, newly hatched chicks a better chance at survival. Chicks removed at 10-14 days old are placed in a brooder at 93 where they remain for the next week to ten days. During this period they can initially require up to five feedings per day, depending on how much the parents have "stretched" the crop. The amount fed at each feeding can vary from chick to… [cont.]
