This means the eggs of an animal are kept warm by the mother until the young animal or bird is ready to hatch. For example, the mother platypus incubates its eggs by curling around them; the mother echidna incubates its egg by keeping it in a temporary pouch; a mother scrub turkey incubates her eggs by burying them in a mound of earth and twigs and regularly testing the temperature of the mound; the average bird incubates its eggs by sitting on them to keep them warm.
