The breeding period of peony parrots is from February to March and April to October. Peony parrots have two breeding periods in their place of origin, usually from February to March and from April to October. However, peony parrots raised in captivity can breed almost all year round. After the female bird lays the eggs, she will be responsible for incubating them and lay 4 to 6 eggs at a time.

Peony parrots are less difficult to breed and are very suitable for novices to practice bird breeding.
