| Rosella’s are easy to breed than other birds. They do not fear cold but need a dry shelter. Commonly The breeding season starts in March or April . The female usually lays 3 to 7 eggs that she incubates alone for about 19 – 21 days. During the incubation period she is fed by her mate. Established pairs can be prolific and may produce two to three clutches per season – especially if their young are pulled for handfeeding and they have plenty of food available. |

However, typically they raise one to two clutches per year. During the incubation period she is fed by her mate. After hatching chicks will leave the nest at about 6 weeks old. Some breeders prefer to pull babies at 2-3 weeks old for handfeeding. This will allow parents to get started on another clutch. Handfed Rosellas can still be a bit flighty and care should be taken to ensure the wings stay clipped to avoid injury. The young will need daily attention to remain tame.
