German德语词条或短语: Brut bereits mehrfach gelungen
From a book on exotic birds, in information about nesting and reproduction. I believe the sense is that the birds have succeeded in nesting repeatedly. Here's specific quote: 2 Eier, Brutdauer 14-15 Tage. Brut bereits mehrfach (or vereinzelt) gelungen.
Please help with appropriate English rendering.
Thank you!

Eric Bye: 12:15 May 7, 2006: Brut thanks - Thanks for the good suggestions on rendering this sentence in English. This makes sense and fits the style of the entries in the book: concise sentence fragments.

several successful breeding attempts
说明:
This is how both breeders and conservationists phrase it. Believe me, I've been active in both areas for over twenty years now...

同意 Teresa Reinhardt: how 'bout "they have hatched successfully" ? // was just a suggestion, more aimed at Asker; let's leave some work...
1分钟
  -> My sentence is pretty awkward. I'd need to play around with it.

不同意 Cetacea: The birds can hatch, but still not make it to healthy juveniles. For a "Brut" to be considered successful, the young birds need to have left the nest in good health. / Beautiful choice. We're breeding parrots and parakeets.
26分钟
  -> I see your point. I used to raise chickens. My favorites were the Lakenvelders.

同意 Andrew Swift: Google: Results 1 - 10 of about 138 from www.proz.com for "Believe me..." + "I am a...". See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_pleading

Here are some links from native English sites to confirm that this is neither "low-brow" nor unusual:

"Palm cockatoos have been housed and bred successfully in enclosures with..."

中性态度 Cetacea: Depends on the audience the book is aimed at. If it's not too "high-brow", your solution works just as well. / It's not breeding animals I'm refering to, but the style of the book in question.

不同意 Nicole Schnell: Sorry. Breeding attempt includes mating. No such thing mentioned in the question.//We are breeding canaries and know about the works.
19分钟
  -> And you think anything will hatch without mating? "The German term "Brut" includes the works. Check out the corresponding literature.

中性态度 Teresa Reinhardt: Why "attempts"??? They have been bred successfully...said exactly the same // You might want to check my links under my answer to see what 'they' say
1小时
  -> I know, Theresa, but that's how they phrase it. Don't blame me! ;-)
