Which bird has the longest incubation period?
Quick Answer
The wandering albatross has one of the longest incubation periods among birds, with incubation lasting about 11 weeks.
The Full Story
The wandering albatross has an unusually long incubation period for a bird. After a single egg is laid, both parents take turns incubating it for roughly 11 weeks, or around 78 days. This slow reproductive strategy fits a species that lives long and breeds infrequently. The long incubation is part of a life history focused on survival rather than rapid reproduction.
