Milwaukee Wildlife Control: How Many Eggs Does A Bird Lay?
In the fall, many bird species migrate south and return to the north in the spring. Other species stay where they are throughout the entire year. When do birds lay eggs, then? In either case, birds typically lay eggs in the spring because the eggs need warmth to incubate and the baby birds can't survive in cold weather either.
How many eggs do birds lay? That's a more complicated question to answer because it depends on several different factors. The rate of egg-laying is fairly standard across bird species: Most birds usually lay at least one egg per day. What varies is the length of the egg-laying period. The more days it lasts, the more eggs a bird will probably lay.
