How often do burrowing owls reproduce?
Usually a monogamous bird, the males occasionally have two mates. The female bird lays an egg every 1 or 2 days until its clutch size (of 4-12 eggs) completes. The incubation period of these owls is 28-30 days. Although most of the eggs hatch, only 4-5 of the juvenile chicks survive before they are ready to fly.
