Overview
Quetzal Eggs are randomly dropped by 
Quetzals. They can be eaten or used to make 
Exceptional Kibble for taming 
Basilosaurus, 
Brontosaurus, 
Drakeling, 
Fasolasuchus, 
Giganotosaurus, 
Karkinos, 
Managarmr, 
Megaraptor, 
Mosasaurus, Quetzal, 
Rex, 
Spino, 
Therizinosaur, 
Tropeognathus and 
Yi Ling specifically, or anything that eats 
Basic Kibble, 
Simple Kibble, 
Regular Kibble or 
Superior Kibble.
After two Quetzals mate, the resulting egg can be hatched into a baby Quetzal.
Grabbing an egg in the presence of wild Quetzals will cause them to become hostile and attack the survivor.
Incubation
Main article: Incubation
The Quetzal Egg takes 16h 39m 55.199s to hatch.
It must be in the temperature range of
5 to
6 °C /
41 to
43 °F
to successfully hatch, otherwise it will start to lose 
Health.
The female Quetzal needs between
18h and
2d
before having the capacity to lay eggs again.
The incubation time can be reduced by up to 20% if the egg is placed in an 
Egg Incubator at the ideal temperature.
The egg can also be used to tame an 
Oviraptor.
Collecting
Retrieving a Quetzal Egg in the wild can be a surprisingly dangerous endeavor. Despite their usual skittish nature, a Quetzal provoked to anger is a dangerous adversary considering their health, speed, stamina, and attack. A 
Pteranodon trained for high speed can outrun a Quetzal, though will quickly be slain if used in an attempt for a counterattack. A nearby aquatic escape will allow a player to flee as a Quetzal will not enter water, though in many places this might not be possible. Bringing a tamed Quetzal or two as some backup can make the process somewhat safer, but if you have a tamed Quetzal or two, it's much safer to simply collect their eggs anyway, not to mention easier to find them.
