Or picture yourself as a bird fetus within an egg. Drinking and peeing through the egg shell? And it can be stored easily by the bird fetus within the egg. But pellets are a different topic worthy of their own blog post. Not a sustainable concept of development. Uric acid forms a white paste (the white part of bird poop!)

They know how to find food for themselves only a few moments after emerging from their egg, and then likely produce a special protein which allows them to harness quantum entanglement for global navigation. The first post I ever prepared for this blog centred around a search for a vagrant Curlew Sandpiper here in my native Trinidad.

When there are cuckoos around – which parasitize Daurian Redstarts – the females have a higher rate of egg rejection. After the change in management of the 10,000 Birds website, one reader suggested changing the blog title to something more likely to attract visitors. Better safe than sorry, I guess.

One of my sisters is pregnant, as is one of my cousins, my boyfriend’s sister, a classmate’s partner… and now, suddenly, this very blog is joining in the chorus of constant baby babble. So lately it seems like I’m just surrounded by baby talk. It’s easy to see why some birds adopt this way of life.

Occasionally the Tristan Thrush Nesocichla eremita will prey upon chicks from the two-egg nest of the Inaccessible Island Rail but this not enough in any way to threaten the species. Its eggs are not known, it does not migrate, and it feeds, I understand, on insects and worms.

Well, the blog is back just in time for me to post a story… which is annoying as it would be nice to have a week off without having to fabricate a story for Mike and Corey to cover my bone idle nature. Sadly, the downtime means that the usual post crafting process got slightly short-circuited this week.

I do not get too many comments on my blog posts, but it seems that whenever I write about jacanas – whether in Africa, Australia, or Asia – there is an unusually high number of reactions (well, maybe one or two rather than the usual zero) from female readers. This is ok as birds do not have teeth anyway). That means that.

She eats eggs for their protein. She's so close. And sometimes cheese. She doesn't tolerate beans and already takes probiotics and digestive enzymes. She might be gluten intolerant. She can't eat a lot of nuts or nut butters, though she does love them so. She is very thin and has a history of gut-related issues. Any suggestions?

Speaking of pregnant snakes, do sea snakes lay their eggs ashore like sea turtles or do they keep them internally until the young are ready to hatch/ be born, like some sharks? These do lay eggs on land and are (reasonably) mobile once they hit the beach. It seems like there is great diversity in this continent.
