Typically, birds can lay eggs once a day at most - in some cases less often when eggs are slow to develop.

In the Enriched and Tropical Worlds where annual cycles are fairly regular and productivity high, it is very rare for parental care to be so prolonged as to inhibit breeding each year. With those Enriched and Tropical World birds that do have relatively prolonged parental care, dispersal is rapid enough that broods can be raised each year.

In the Unenriched World of Australia and Southern Africa, parental care in obligate cooperative breeders such as the White-Winged Chough may be very prolonged, but the large number of helpers means that second broods can be reared when the first is still dependent. This again means that breeding less often than annually is not likely.

The few birds where parental care is prolonged enough to prevent annual breeding are very large, altricial or semialtricial and if terrestrial occur invariably in the Tropical or Unenriched Worlds. They include:

  1. some large parrots such as the Palm Cockatoo
  2. numerous raptors such as eagles and certain other predators such as ground hornbills
  3. large seabirds like albatrosses and frigatebirds
