Bird-ausers thankyou for your replies. It seems that the kiwi wins so far
with the longest incubation period (~ 80 days).
Other incubation periods collected were :
lyrebirds (70-75 days)
mallefowl (62-64 days)
Emu (50-57 days)
Ostrich (42-47 days)
Incidentally the New Zealanders should be commended for their web pages on
the kiwi http://www.doc.govt.nz/biodiver/pbf1340.htm
