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

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 134 points 1 year ago (8 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

What about hatchlings? Do they fall of the tree?

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year 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
