Electus parrot eggs for sale. These eggs are typically laid in clutches of two to three, each one smooth, oval, and creamy white in color. Measuring around 3 to 4 centimeters in length and nestled deep within tree hollows in the wild or in secure nesting boxes in captivity. The female Eclectus parrot takes full responsibility for incubation, rarely leaving the nest during the 28-day incubation period. Her dedication is so intense that she may remain in the nesting cavity for weeks, relying entirely on the male to bring her food.

The nesting environment plays a crucial role in the development of the eggs. Warmth, humidity, and minimal disturbance are essential to ensure healthy embryonic growth. Inside each egg, a transformation unfolds—cells divide, organs form, and feathers begin to develop. Breeders often use candling to monitor this progress, gently illuminating the egg to observe the growing chick within. This process helps ensure that the eggs are viable and developing normally.

Once the chicks are ready to hatch, they break through the shell using a specialized egg tooth, emerging blind and featherless. The discarded eggshells, now cracked and fragile, mark the end of one phase and the beginning of another. The chicks are entirely dependent on their mother for warmth and their father for nourishment. Eclectus parrots are known for their cooperative breeding behavior, with males often feeding females and chicks for extended periods.
