 Name a species of bird that eats the shell of the egg while the chick is hatching? |

Yes, Tom, the great tit does do this; but I am looking for a Southern African bird that will do the same.

OWN, I must say, you are a very patient man. You have waited for 5 months but I think its time to ask another one.

Rooies wrote OWN, I must say, you are a very patient man. You have waited for 5 months but I think its time to ask another one.  Then again, Rooies, I work with patients all the time.  The answer to the previous question is ducks and geese. Okay, let me ask another Q: In a perfect world, the best shape for a bird's egg - in terms of weight-saving, best use of space, and greatest strength - would be a perfect sphere (a ball). Why then are birds' eggs almost always oval shaped? |

A quick fire from the hip. Answer 1: It is to prevent them from rolling away.
Answer 2: It is to accommodate the shape of the embryo. Answer 3 The oval structure is stronger. (I hope one is correct  ) |

That is known as "egging" the answer along, Rooies.
I'll wait to see what others have to say - hopefully they'll use more than their hip.  |
