Eggs in a Pied Oystercatcher nest I always walk by briefly to confirm the number of eggs, but it is very rarely more than two eggs in Broome. I suppose they know me!

Another strange aspect – already mentioned further up – is that these owls almost seem to be able to change their shape – from a round egg shape to a very prolonged branch-like shape. Though of course, young owls growing up in such an artificial environment may later turn out to be snobbish and elitist.

In Daurian Redstarts , personality traits (specifically, whether a bird is shy or bold) partly determine how good an individual is in rejecting cuckoo eggs in its nest. Apparently, birds that are fast in exploring new things – bold birds – are better at rejecting parasitic eggs ( source ).

Unlike the Common Cuckoo, the young GSC doesn’t eject its foster parents’ eggs or chicks from the nest, but is reared alongside them. It reminded me of a Roadrunner, which is, of course, also a member of the cuckoo family. Apparently if there’s more than one GSC chick in a nest, the younger one is likely to starve.

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.

Of course, the second explanation makes a lot more sense.
