In the French Alps, 10 kms south of Grenoble, a family company has started up …from their passion and love for parrots.  
Over one hundred parent birds from all over the world live on this parrot breeding farm, giving birth to over one hundred baby parrots a year. 
Our parrot egg incubation center is the only one in France that is officially authorized by the Ministery of the Environment. 
  
  
  
EGGS UNDER STRICT CONTROL : 
  
  
Air-conditioned incubation rooms guarantee a constant temperature throughout the year.
 
In the incubator, eggs are dated and marked with a soft pencil and turned upside down twice a day. The computer records on a daily basis the eggs weight curve,which can be very different from one to the other.
 
To date, we have achieved a success rate of 95%. Through natural parent brooding only 40 out of 100 eggs will typically hatch. 
  
   
  
BOTTLE-FED PARROTS : 
  
  
In the hatching box, the chicks need two or three days to come out of their shell. 
As soon as the baby parrots leave the egg they are hand-fed : one hour after birth and then every two hours, day and night. 
They are weighed before and after every meal and their growth curve is recorded on a daily basis.
