Wait how does that work? Why does the egg not just… roll over?
Searched it up cause I was curious too. It’s the white tern, and according to Wikipedia, the egg does roll off frequently. The bird simply doesn’t care and lays another egg
What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?
Yes, Wikipedia mentioned that they fall too. The article mentions that the hatchlings have wide feet to help lessen the chances that they fall
The time they used to build a nest could be used to lay more egg.
Based bird
As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.
Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,
huh, and every time i give my bird an egg, he eats it
