Female parrots occasionally decide that motherhood is not their "cup of tea" so they are ignoring their eggs, neglecting or breaking them. David Vishnia, a parrot breeder with many years of experience, was determined to find a better solution for these poor eggs
After monitoring his parrots’ behavior and conducting numerous tests and experiments he decided to use his engineering skills to develop an incubator that would overcome these "females' caprices" by imitating the natural incubating process as closely as possible.
For this mission, the crucial aspects of the incubation process were identified and were implemented in the incubator's design and construction.
For example, in order to simulate the manner in which the brooding female heats the eggs in nature, he developed an especially large surfaced heating element with a center mounted fan and located it above the eggs (rather than below them).
For the breeders' convenience he added a temperature controller with clear digital display.
In order to emulate the brooding mother's way of rolling eggs, the eggs are positioned at the bottom of the incubator and are rolled periodically and automatically by an automatic egg turning system to create temperature changes vital to the embryo development.
The level of humidity was also found to be an important factor in embryonic development and hatching.
To measure the humidity, David Vishnia developed a wet & dry hygrometer especially for this incubator, which is a very reliable form of humidity measurement.
From a parrot lover's point of view, he wanted every breeder to feel like part of nature so he designed this Incubator with large transparent doors for monitoring egg development and chick hatching.
So even if they don't want to incubate… this unique incubator imitates the natural incubating process but- with better hatching results.
Emulation of the natural heat, moisture and egg rolling conditions, combined with an elegant, convenient, easy-to-use design creates a highly efficient incubator, suitable for every breeder, harnessing the natural incubating process for successful and productive breeding.
