Yeah at that temp its gonna take 4 days to hatch. Also thats not a Blood Parrot.

 

[sambenoit]

what temp does it need to be to hatch at 3? lol and she is usually redder she got light when they started breeding

 

[sambenoit]

Do the eggs look fertile?

 

[Chrisplosion]

They look like they might be fertile, within a day or two you should see a black dot forming on the egg which is the eyes. 82F is a good normal temp for them

Eggs should hatch in 3 ish days. Don't worry too much about it. Also, that "Blood Parrot" isn't a Blood Parrot. It's a ZZ Fader aka a Flowerhorn.
