I'm new to incubating. I have two conures. Can I use this model on my conure eggs? Thank you for taking the time to help.

I think so. The instructions include information on using the model for parrots. The largest size egg it can take is a duck egg that's slightly larger than a chicken, but if I recall correctly, a conure egg would be significantly smaller.

From the instructions I read, it seems you can incubate any type of egg as long as it fits in the tray. If the eggs are very tiny then you would want to buy the separate smaller rotating tray. The temperature and incubation period on this incubator can be customized for different bird species. Good luck with your hatch!

Yes. In the instruction it will give you the days to hatch and the temperature to set it at for parrots.

The book that came with it says yes to parrots! We just raised chicken eggs, very easy to use, good luck!

I have a green cheek,I bought the cage for my african grey,the cage would be suitable for the conure too.I have not had any problems with this cage,although the directions for putting it together could be better,took me about an hour.I am glad I bought it and plan on buying another just like it for my green cheek too,darn good price for what you get in a quality product.

I have cockatiels, and I am thinking the green cheek conure is larger than mine. It is good spacing I think for your bird.

I have six chickens and two boxes. When I first installed the nesting boxes, I had them staggered with one higher than the other. I found the higher box was not used. When I lowered the boxes to be at the same height and nearly touching, I found an egg in both boxes the next afternoon. My girls love them!

I consider it a waste of money. I have a green cheek conure. I have had it for over a month and she refuses to use it. I have tried using it on the inside and outside of cage. Ha! when I put it on the outside she got her head under the top and shoved it out on the floor.I had to clean seed up off the carpet. I put it back on the inside and she is sitting there right now fussing at me for food in her old feeder. I am ready to throw it out the door. Maybe I can figue a way to use it go a flower pot.Sorry I couldn't help.

I have been using this incubator for poultry hatching. It is small and the turners will only hold 16 eggs. However, I have found that I do not have to add any water to this unit for the incubation cycle because it is air tight, the moisture loss from the eggs themselves keep the unit at the proper humidity (30-35%). I do move the eggs out of this unit and into a hatcher unit three days before they are due where I push the humidity up to 60-65%. This is for large fowl eggs. If I run a batch of miniatures or bantams I have to keep an eye on the humidity and may have to add a soda bottle lid of water on the floor and fill it every day to hold the right humidity. If you add water to the channels in the bottom that were made for added water, you get way to much surface space on your water and the humidity gets way to high. This is why I use the soda bottle lid and it has worked best for me so far. This unit does have a fan and it does work well. If you stack two turners one on top of the other, the placement makes it hard to keep a equal and constant temperature on both racks because one rack is closer to the heat vent than the other. All that said, I do love this unit and after some trial and error figuring things out, I have it down to a science and it works way way better than any of the other units i have or have had in the past.

Yes, you can add eggs later. The later ones will obviously hatch later if you have brought the early up to temp when you put them in.

Not sure what a conure is. I have 2 crazy paraketes in mine. Its very sturdy. Well made.

My two conures destroyed their ladder toy. And that's exactly what it's designed to do. As I'm learning, birds need to forage and use their beaks as they would do in the wild. This is one of the first toys my birds had in their cage and I need to get another one soon...Don't worry about the metal clips, your bird will not be able to get through with its beak. Enjoy your bird!!

I never tried hatching reptiles..what i know is, it holds temperature well and didn't fluctuate too much..so if you set it to the correct temperature and humidity..and turn them as you should then i don't see why it would be much different.

I don't know anything about gecko eggs but I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you maintain the correct temperature and humidity levels.

I do. that's exactly why I bought it.if you get one small egg in your batch you may get 61 in there, but you can get 60 every time. I've been getting 50 to 55 hatch out every time. remember to keep adding water about every 3 days and the eco will do the rest...

I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage. The cage is MUCH bigger than it looks in the picture and even knowing the dimensions i was surprised by the size when I put the first cage together!! The side doors are on a spring hinge and don't latch...both the Quakers and Conures figured that out real quick! I small key ring on each door solved that problem. I've also heard of people using twist ties onthe side doors. the birds have LOTS of room to spread their wings and play with toys. So my answer is yes, this cage is fine for Conures :-) I have two of these cages. One houses 4 Quakers and the other is home to two Green Cheek Conures. All are VERY happy with this cage.

I never pierced my eggs. Not sure how large extra large is but it probably will work. Id think the worst case would be to skip a slot and tilt very large ones, but I have never had to do that.No ostrich eggs tho, ok?

I have a blue crowned conure in it which is smaller than a umbrella cockatoo. I am thinking the umbrella's are bigger than the Goffin Cockatoo's right? If so I would probably go with a bigger cage than this one for him. This cage is more for the size of African Grey's or Conure's now the smaller of the cockatoo's that are like the size of the African Grey's would do well in this size cage. Good luck and wish you all the best with your new cockatoo. That is great that you are adopting :-) .
