The Brinsea Ovation 28 Zoologica is a high-performance incubator specifically designed for exotic birds' eggs, especially parrots, where smaller and delicate eggs are turned on rollers that rotate smoothly. The high-specification, adjustable turning interval and angle makes it ideal for eggs that require frequent, precise turning.
Parrot breeders have known that the main compromise when using an incubator designed for hens' eggs is that the turning isn't sophisticated enough. Some parrots turn their eggs almost continually during incubation and so to replicate this we have developed the Zoologica incubator which turns the eggs on rollers with digital controlled precision. The spacing between these alloy rollers can be adjusted to suit different egg sizes. The Zoologica incubators feature Brinsea's pinpoint control of temperature and humidity along with alarms to warn of power failure or wild room temperature changes to ensure the best possible hatching results for exotic eggs. The temperature control is further improved with the filled, insulated base.
'These new exotic egg incubators represent class-leading technology with the finest incubation management available and are more advanced and refined than some well-regarded incubators costing over twice the price. The inclusion of precision roller turning, as featured in Brinsea's £4,500 Contaq Z7 incubator, completes this impressive design.' said Frank Pearce, Brinsea's Founder.
The Ovation 28 Zoologica builds on the highly accurate digital control of temperature and humidity of the EX model with an insulation-filled base and heavy plinth to further improve temperature distribution and overall rigidity. In addition to programmable adjustment of turning interval, the Zoologica models also allow fine adjustment of egg turning angle from 5° to 180° for an egg of 45mm diameter - smaller eggs can be turned at a greater angle if desired.
Despite its sophistication the Ovation 28 Zoologica uses factory default settings to ensure it's easy to use straight from the box yet still allows unparalleled flexibility over the control of temperature, humidity and egg turning. An egg capacity of 20 African Grey-sized eggs - and the flexible roller system means that smaller eggs can be accommodated in greater numbers.

There is no doubt that the device is wonderful, but as the owner of the Ovation Ex device and the version dedicated to Zoologica parrots, I found that the difference is only in the cylinders and the metal fixing bases and nothing more than that. I see that I was horribly deceived by you, and in return, Maxi ex holds approximately 40 parrot eggs, and it is not at this price. You are kind of deceived.
We are disappointed to hear your thoughts on the Zoologica incubators, as since they were introduced they have proved very popular with parrot breeders all over the world. The Ovation Zoologica was specifically designed for parrot breeders because incubators designed for hens’ eggs do not have such sophisticated turning. The Ovation Zoologica incubators turn the eggs on rollers with digitally controlled precision. The Zoologica models have a flexible and zero-impact roller turning system with fine control of turning interval and angle. With a Zoologica, there is more versatility with egg sizes. The spacing between the Ovation Zoologica’s turning rollers can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of egg sizes from finch to goose. The Zoologica models also have a specially insulated base helps to further improve thermal control. Kind regards, Brinsea
I can't tell you how happy I am with the Brinsea Zoologica Brooder and Brinsea Ovation Zoologica Incubator. I have had 100% success rate in the incubator and the brooder is absolutely awesome keeping my babies at the required humidity and temperature. I purchased these prior to our breeding season here in Australia and so glad I did. I have successfully hatched a variety of birds this season alone including Macaws, Varied Lorikeets, Rainbow Lorikeets, Plumhead Parrots and Emus.
Great incubator, it does everything that the professional parrot incubators do but for a fraction of the cost. Easy to set up and use, and backed up by first class customer service. Definitely recommended.
