Brinsea incubators and brooders are sold around the world for parrot breeding, renowned for their blend of precision, hygiene, and innovation. With typically a small number of valuable and delicate eggs, parrot breeders need equipment that combines sophistication with small-scale focus — and Brinsea delivers.

The Maxi 24 Zoologica is specially designed for parrot breeders, offering the perfect balance of advanced technology and careful egg handling.

This flexibility, combined with precise digital control of temperature, humidity, and automatic gentle egg turning, makes the Maxi Zoologica exceptionally well-suited to the delicate and varied needs of parrot eggs, ensuring optimal hatching conditions every time.

“The Ovation 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 £4500 Contaq Z7 incubator, completes this impressive design.”
— Ian Pearce, Managing Director, Brinsea Products
Specifically designed for altricial species like parrots — blind and helpless at hatch — these brooders create the ideal rearing environment.
Parrot chicks need a hygienic and temperature controlled environment to thrive and the Brinsea’s TLC-40 Zoologica & TLC-50 Zoologica Series II brooders are both ideally suited to this. Warm air can result in dehydration so the TLC Zoologica models manage humidity levels with a precision digital humidity control system which maintains levels set by the user up to at least 65% RH under typical ambient conditions. An adjustable vent is fitted to the door which may be opened or closed to give greater control of humidity and fresh air flow. The water evaporation reservoir is removeable for easy cleaning.
With hygiene a top priority, the TLC Zoologica Series II models have been carefully designed to make cleaning as easy as possible. The smooth, easy-to-clean interior has no vulnerable edges for animals to chew. The whole unit can be easily disassembled for easy and effective cleaning.
As they grow and develop down and feathers they can gradually tolerate lower temperatures and the breeder needs to be able to reduce the chamber temperature easily, whilst still maintaining control. Young birds also benefit from being able to see humans from within the chamber; during this early stage in their development it is essential for young birds to become familiar with the presence of people if they are to be tame in adulthood.
