Royal Bird Company Incubator Information
Our incubation programs continue to play a very important role in our success. Many of our techniques have been adopted and used by several large US breeders as well the world renown Zaire Animal Research Foundation, Africa. see left side panel
Many people ask "Why do you incubate the eggs and not
leave them with the parent birds?" Well its simple, many
times the parent birds will not set to full term and may
leave the eggs at any given time. These birds may stop
incubating due to many reasons like, thunderstorms, noises
or may just be ready to start laying again. When the
valuable eggs are in our possession we have more control
from start to hatch. Since we control the eggs environment
as well the newly hatched chick we can eliminate most common
problems that plague other breeders birds such as bacterial
problems.
These problems can start in the nest boxes, as
the dark and often damp nest box is a fertile ground for
bacterial problems.
We have learned that we can
eliminate this by taking control and giving a much better
and healthier start to the eggs.
The proof is in the pudding as we hatch and rear some of
the healthiest baby parrots your money can buy, we guarantee
it.
We believe one should do all they can do to
prevent any problems as prevention is much better than a
cure. Our breeder birds are much happier and healthier as
well. The parents do not have to sit on eggs in a hot nest
box for 25-28 days and then feed & brood chicks for months.
Our breeder birds only work for a couple weeks and then
they are done for the year, Its the good life for all our
birds
They are healthier and happy.
We do all their
work for them. The babies also benefit as they are
human imprinted and the babies think they are people.
This creates the best human socialized
companion baby bird possible.
Our incubation systems are the Alpha Genesis.
These
are without a question the most highly sophisticated
machines in the world. We own several and have invested over
$10,000 into these machines with the last machine has become
the absolute dream machine and cost was $4200, this machine
and our laptops has total computerized control over the
temps, humidity, egg turning, oxygen mapping, c02 mapping,
cooling cycles to simulate the parent birds leaving the nest
for eating, and double battery backup when power is out and
so much more. These machines are controlled via upfront key
pad, set it and forget it.
Many of the incubation
systems we have seen on the market today are mainly designed
for the poultry industry and compared to AG are like a kids
toy in our opinion.
Most really do not even come close
to whats actually needed for the PROPER incubation of
parrots and other exotics eggs.That is, if you have the
desire to do it right..
