Internal Fertilisation - Type 2
Internal fertilisation happens inside the female's body. There are three types of offspring development after internal fertilisation.

- The offspring develop in the egg using nutrients in the yolk.
- The offspring hatch alive from the eggs sometime later.
- This type is the most common in birds.
