Information at DFwiki for eggs, says eggs need just 1 month for incubation or these eggs are bad.

I had now 3 approaches to breed Kea.

First - I've though training was dislocating Kea, so eggs weren't giving young. Lasted 10 months. No new Kea was born.
Second - I've had animal cap reached I think. Other animals stopped breeding. I slaughtered most of them. Other animals started breeding, so Slaughtered all adult and left few young. Kea was sitting on eggs for 6 months. No new Kea were born, but eggs were from before still.
Third- New eggs, very few animals in fortress. 10 female kea and 2 male kea. 3 months in and still no young kea.

What am I doing wrong. Any experienced animal farmer with an insight?

It took whole 3 months! I got young ones. One month for eggs in DFwiki is wrong. Bad info. It doesn't tell about animal population cap either.

If the wiki says one month the info is wrong, yes. Of course, it will automatically correct itself if you rant about it...

Only fertilized eggs hatch (provided the eggs aren't left untended for too long), and there are many reasons for unfertilized eggs to be laid, in particular letting females get access to nest boxes after a prolonged unavailability of them (not giving the males the chance to impregnate the females). Vanilla DF does not provide any indication of whether eggs are fertilized or not, but DFHack can provide it.

If it said that, the wiki is already fixed. All eggs take three months (if fertilized).
