🦜 Hatching Parrots? Meet the Brinsea Ovation Zoologica!

If you’ve ever tried hatching parrot eggs in a standard “chook-style” incubator, you’ll know the struggle. Most incubators are designed with chicken eggs in mind, and while they can get the job done, they don’t quite meet the extra-careful needs of parrot eggs.

That’s where the Brinsea Ovation Zoologica range swoops in. Specifically created for exotic bird breeders, these incubators are built to handle delicate parrot eggs with the precision they deserve.

🌟 Why Zoologica Is Different

Parrots don’t just turn their eggs once in a while—they rotate them almost constantly. To mimic this, Brinsea designed the Zoologica incubators with roller-based egg turning. This means your eggs get smooth, frequent, and programmable turning, with digital accuracy that feels like “mum’s touch.”

The adjustable roller spacing means you can incubate a wide range of exotic eggs, from tiny finches right through to African Greys, Amazons, and Cockatoos.

🥚 Egg Capacity at a Glance

• Finches → up to 40 eggs

• Cockatiels & Lovebirds → around 30 eggs

• African Greys, Eclectus, Amazons, Cockatoos, Small Macaws → about 20 eggs

Choose between the Ovation 28 Zoologica (20 African Grey–sized eggs) or the Ovation 56 Zoologica (double the capacity).

🔧 High-Tech Features You’ll Love

The Zoologica isn’t just about turning—it’s packed with clever tech to give your eggs the best chance at hatching:

✔️ Precision digital temperature & humidity control
✔️ Automatic humidity top-up (no guessing games!)
✔️ Programmable turning interval & angle (up to 180° for eggs of 45mm)
✔️ Optional egg cooling cycles
✔️ Dual-Induced Airflow system → industry-leading temperature consistency
✔️ Insulated base & plinth for extra stability
✔️ External water top-up (super handy)
✔️ Built-in alarms for room temp or power changes
✔️ Biomaster antimicrobial plastics → safer, more hygienic hatching environment

And of course, every Brinsea comes with their legendary 3-year guarantee (just register online).

🎁 Straight Out of the Box

Don’t be put off by all the high-tech features—the Zoologica comes with factory defaults that make it easy to use from day one. But when you’re ready, you’ve got the flexibility to fine-tune every detail.

🐦 Final Word

If you’re serious about parrot breeding—or any exotic bird hatching—the Brinsea Ovation Zoologica is the incubator to beat. With roller turning, precision controls, and built-in safety features, it’s like having a dedicated bird nanny working 24/7.

Your parrots-to-be will thank you. 💚
