Dummy Eggs

[symbro]

i have been wondering recently if dummy eggs really need to be white'ish

wouldnt it be nice if they were a different colour so that we wouldnt

stupidly throw them away.

Generally eggs are coloured to aid camouflage, pigeons constantly cover their eggs so maybe that is why they have no colour pigment through them.

I think you will find this common with birds that do the same :-/

;D ;D ;D off course this was me just joking ;D but it did look nice ,,, now its a thought symbro, if they would take to different colours , and what colours :) this pair sat on this one ok , off course it was a dummy egg ,but wonder what other colours they would take to [i did have a bird take to  large glass    marbles  , as i was short of dummies [magpie stole them when i laid them outside the loft on a chair,,,when i say i laid them ;D ;D ;D i meant i put them there ;D]

some 25 years ago i had a few fantails flying in the garden and decided to see if they would hatch other types of eggs..result 2 pheasants..mind you they couldnt seem to understand that the chicks didnt want to sit in the nest

that brings to mind a freind of mine putting quales eggs under a pair of racers, they sat on them hatched them ,   but it was him that got the fright when he went in the loft and saw these things running about, he near collapsed  ;D ;D

LOL, I've done that too! :

 

I also threw a couple of eggs onto the lawn in the hope that the rain would clean the droppings off them. A crow stole them - bet it had a job cracking them open though!! ;D ;D
