According to the HBW, when breeding, male birds do most of the incubation and parenting while females often leave the nest up to one week before the eggs hatch. According to Couzens, after laying the eggs, females sometimes immediately abandon their first mate and pair up with another male. But maybe that is actually a good thing.

One thing that is quite common in Mandarin Ducks is intraspecific parasitism – females leaving their eggs in the nests of other females of the same species. Whether this is because they rank them higher or they dislike them more than non-relatives is hard to say.

Why can’t a baby bird just hatch out of the egg and fly away, or at least, be able to fly a little and not require weeks of constant feeding and attention? One Northern Cardinal was even observed to have adopted a school of gaping goldfish at a pond where the fish were accustomed to begging from people!

It is probably true that there is a near 100% overlap in the rodents and other small terrestrial animals, as well as ground bird eggs, eaten by Coyotes and feral Cats. Be prepared to take one (or several) in and work towards removal and adoption. To some extent, the Cat problem will take care of itself, in some places.

In the slightly frighteningly named journal “Science of The Total Environment”, there is a paper on organochlorine compounds in Purple Heron eggs nesting in sites located around a chloralkali plant (Ebro River). Summary result: relevant chemicals emitted by the plant can be found in the eggs. Bye, bye, Lesser Coucal.

, Edith Coleman posts that a brooding bird of the species deliberately concealed itself, stating that it “was conscious of being invisible to me, in the position she invariably adopted when aware of my proximity.

Steal and eat their eggs? I get that good nest sites are at a premium, whether you’re in the market for a box along a bluebird trail in Iowa or a ledge overlooking pigeon-rich Central Park. Again, I know you’re just doing what you gotta do. Drag some other bird bodily out of a hollow tree and thrash the feathers off them?

He reasons out answers to both questions, finally stating that, despite what many eyewitnesses wrote, the birds had to have laid more than one egg and that the birds had to have nested more than once a breeding season.

That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. What might be less obvious is that each of these reasons actually gives us a reason to adopt an entirely plant-based vegan diet, devoid of animal products.

A bit like being adopted, I guess. An additional benefit would be less nest predation by tidal mudflat crabs, the primary cause of Reed Parrotbill egg predation in tidal reed-bed habitat ( source ). palpebrosus ), and what was once Enggano White-eye ( Z. salvadori ).” Isn’t that what evolution is all about?

A European Robin ( Erithacus rubescens ) from British Birds and their Eggs by John Maclair Boraston (1909). The robin’s famous red breast really is more of a rusty orange, but the word “orange” wouldn’t enter into English from Old French as a color name until the 1510s (and it was probably even later that the Welsh adopted the cognate oren ).
