Description
Eggs of an assortment of birds showing the variety in shell colouration. The patterning of a shell depends on the reproductive strategy of the bird. Birds which leave their nest to find food have camouflaged eggs to prevent predators from finding them in their absence. Conversely, large birds which take turns to guard their nest have no need for camouflage and produce conspicuous white eggs.
