Wait how does that work? Why does the egg not just.. roll over?

[–] [email protected] 134 points 9 months ago (6 children)

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

The epitome of zero fucks give.

The time they used to build a nest could be used to lay more egg.

This makes the meme even better.

What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes, Wikipedia mentioned that they fall too. The article mentions that the hatchlings have wide feet to help lessen the chances that they fall

Baby bird: I had to evolve and adapt because my parents don't care about me.

Parents bird: Lol, STFU duck-feet loser

Based bird

As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.

Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think it's as long as more eggs hatch than birds die, it works.

Eh, now we’re getting into when is it a bird…

(Sorry, sorry.)

But as long as you have one or two eggs hatching, it doesn’t matter if a couple dozen fall.

Or more.

Can't you see it's the galaxy brain option meaning it's got zero problems??

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

I guess their intelligence has it's own gravity that stops the egg from rolling over

True it's entirely a skill issue
