Once the eggs are laid, the female will take on the job of incubating and otherwise caring for her eggs. She will sit on them almost constantly to make sure they are safe and at just the right temperature for the young fetuses to develop into healthy hatchlings. She will do this for around 30 days! During this time, the male is busy hunting, hunting, hunting! He must be able to capture enough food to feed himself, the female, and, once they hatch, his nestlings. After the nestlings do hatch, they will stay in the nest for another 30-35 days until they are ready to fly from the nest for the first time!
